40% or more of the electorate on Tuesday will be non-Republican and Huntsman's greatest strength is with Obama voters, among whom he gets 35% to 25% for Paul

Just reconfirms what's already been said on the forums many times. There are a lot of left/indy voters in NH who think Huntsman is the best choice because he hasn't gotten any scrutiny. Guess the campaign wants to just try to beat him with brute force now and save the funds for SC

There are also a alot of center to center left indys that will vote for Huntsman because he is the least conservative of all the candidates. The thought being if a Repub wins the general, it might as well be a left of center one.

Shit is not rigged. The RPForums was YELLING about the risk of a Huntsman surge weeks ago .... before the vote in Iowa.

Huntsman's team wrecked us with that false flag youtube smear campaign... and what did the campaign do?? Nothing.

The only thing they did do was send out 4 emails attacking Huntsman during the today's debate (which not only looks desperate but will have zero effect considering that it's less than 2 days before voting begins and the media has already established the "surge" narrative).

If I sound upset its because I am.... another "surge-stolen 3rd" is going to kill the grassroots spirit (at least among the 'realists') and make slow down the amount of money coming in... meanwhile, Huntsman will raise a few million following an 'expectations beating' 2nd place and continue campaigning (aka stealing independents from Ron is future caucus states).

It's going to be hard for Ron to compete in states without some support of core republicans...Even more difficult if there are people such as Huntsman taking much of the independent vote as well...Pretty much wipes out Paul's base of support.

Though I still believe that Ron's campaign is one of the most organized, and I believe that will show through eventually...Hopefully MUCH sooner than later

Why dont you guys get it? While first place is nice its not going to happen just yet. The goal right now is to stay in these elections and prove all the naysayers saying that Ron Paul support is nothing more than a few hundred people that know how to spam online polls and stuff ballot boxes at straw polls. The attitude of american people is they need to see numbers. We have to stay in the race to show that our numbers are not just a mere few thousand or few hundred people in certain states.

Even if ron paul comes in third. And the difference between first and third is just a few thousand votes, it shows he is electable. After Iowa i have had people go out of their way to comment on how they where suprised to see how many votes he got, and that if he gets here (california) he could lock up their vote.

so our goal is to defeat the perception that there isnt any support and that Ron Paul supporters arent a few hundred radicals with mutiple identity complexes x1000. So our base needs to stay strong and last it out. I think South Carolina and maybe florida will be a let down of being in the top 3. But if we get double digits its no reason to stop.

I wont stop using the comparison of when our forefathers not just the big names but the freedom fighters, had little to no ammunition, no food and froze their asses off, they didnt throw down their muskets and go back to being king george's servant. All you have to do is hold onto your faith in and keep spreading the message, donate if and when you can to keep this fight going.

All you have to do is hold onto your faith in and keep spreading the message, donate if and when you can to keep this fight going.

^^ Great post.

And Santorum was still in 3rd in the Iowa poll. Momentum/trajectory matters more than actual numbers. Hence why there is reason to be on alert.

Huntsman can easily get 20% of the vote and take 2nd place. Ron may or may not hold 3rd with 15%.

It won't be hard for the press to pound Ron down to mid-low teens tomorrow merely by repeating "Huntsman surging".

It might be as stunning to watch as Santorum's rise in Iowa.

Just for a bit of context, the press repeatedly said Ron's support was "collapsing" in Iowa when one poll should him down 1% point.

I think it's because of the undecideds. Ron Paul supporters usually know ahead of time who they're gonna vote for. The more "loose", follow the stream - voters, go for the mediahype, whether it's Santorum, Romney or Huntsman. This group can only be persuaded through good debate or media performances, which, as we know, are rigged to Dr. Pauls disadvantage.

Wow, the trolls are out in full force tonight and are trying their best to discourage the grassroots. Here is a message for your handlers: We will never quit believing in our mission to restore America no matter what happens on Tuesday, next month, or even next year. We are not going anywhere and our ideas are winning and once a person grasps onto our philosophy they rarely let go.

Wow, NH voters really don't like the "Southern" candidates. In the favorability ratings the only people with a negative rating are Paul, Gingrich, and way way down there is Rick Perry. Romney and Santorum (NE) both have positive favorables along with Huntsman (West).

Yet, in the South - the state of South Carolina is okay with MA liberal Mitt Romney and Catholic Rick Santorum.

Surprising a little that the Southern region doesn't seem to hold a similar bias like we tend to.

Question in poll: Do you think that Jon Huntsman has the same
values as you, or not?

He has the same values 34%
He does not 28%
Not sure 37%

Jon Huntsman has 37% of voters not even sure what he stands for. Which is by far the highest "not sure" total of all the candidates. Just goes to show that it is yet another non-vetted media push.

The Youtube "ad" was the push. Any media hype now just serves as a rally for the recently decided to get out and vote.

Hopefully Ron can hold on to 3rd at this point.

Huntsman is a lot more popular than Paul and also has a lot more 2nd choice support: tinyurl.com/7tpzo7m

Talk about rubbing it in :(

He did spend alot more time on the ground in NH (like Santorum did in Iowa) instead of focusing on national TV appearances. We'll see if history repeats or not....

Why is that idiot still even in the race? I mean, holy shit, he is doing awful and even behind Roemer now, and a non-factor in SC, so how much more embarrassment does he need? All Perry is doing is making himself look ridiculous and eating up valuable time in the debates that Ron (and to be fair, the rest) could be using. He should have dropped out with Bachmann, at least she had the sense to do so when she realized she had no chance, yet this tool stays in with even worse support than her, and turns the debates into f'ing comedy hour last night, with the 'i can't remember the 3 departments' joke :rolleyes: I didn't even find that funny whatsoever, it was just really pathetic, watching him with that stupid face of his, looking exactly like GWB..and i have a very deep sense of humor.

This guy needs to go away already.

And you know what is fucked up too? I remember listening to Gary Johnson on AJ recently, and he was saying how they wouldnt let him be in the debates cuz he was polling too low, yet during sometimes he was actually higher than Frothy was. However, this stooge is even doing worse than Roemer hes allowed to be in them!? Pfff...Gary has more brain cells in his thumb, then this tard has in his head.

Something else about the PPP poll, only 10 percent of respondents were ages 18-29. The polling skewed towards those ages 45 and up (at least 66 percent). If youth turnout is well above that mark (say 15 percent) we'll be okay.

Unless another round of vote rigging is in store, again to Diebold the results to match the trend of the worst polls, I don't think Huntsman will overtake Paul. The counter narrative coming out of Tuesday will be Paul in the mid twenties, Huntsman in the mid teens, Romney's collapse to the low 30's. A good scenario for a fast exit of Santorum and Huntsman from the race in the next 10 days following. A repeat 20's performance by Paul will embolden the message that the emerging libertarian quadrant of the GOP is real, growing, and will not go away.

I think we should be fine for a second place finish. There is no way a surge can come in one day. Most people made up there mind already and most people are independents in NH. Ron Paul does best with them so we should be cool unless some poll comes out that said Huntsman 18 and Ron Paul 18-16 then we can worry. Just keep getting the word out in your area and we should be fine.

It is what it is, get busy. Donate if you can. Phone from home.

And for the love of something, start spamming facebook, twitter, comment sections on articles, youtube videos, call radio talk shows in NH, lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can condense the following to something like:


Huntsman drastically increased spending after saying he wouldn’t. He supported both TARP and the stimulus. Threatened his state with a health care mandate. Flip flopped on cap and trade. Tried to create a state level Fannie Mae Freddie Mac in the Utah Housing Corp.

Wrote letters of appreciation to both Obama and Clinton...

Anyone being bankrolled by the Rothschilds cant be good for America.

As Governor, Huntsman has written what can only be described as “over-the-top Love Letters” to President Obama and former President Bill Clinton in 2009. “You are a remarkable leader…and it has been a great honor getting to know you,” Huntsman wrote to President Obama. “I have enormous regard for your experience, sense of history and brilliant analysis of world events. Please save some time for me when I’m next in New York,”

Huntsman wrote to former President Clinton. “I must report that Sec. Clinton has won the hearts and minds of the State Dept. bureaucracy — no easy task. And after watching her in action, I can see why. She is well-read, hard working, personable and has even more charisma than her husband! It’s an honor to work with her.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Huntsman’s proposed a cigarette tax hike from $0.70 to $3.00 per pack in order to balance the budget.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a candidate for Governor, Jon Huntsman wrote that he believed that “government has grown too quickly…for example, over the past decade government spending has exceeded both inflation and population growth.” Candidate Huntsman proposed a spending cap “by constitutional amendment or otherwise”.

After taking office, Huntsman “proposed an annual average hike in spending of close to six percent in real per capita terms, which substantially outstrips personal income growth in Utah, and makes him one of the biggest spending Governors in the nation.”

By the end of 2006, Governor Huntsman had proposed the largest budget in state history.

In 2007, Governor Huntsman and the Utah Legislature took $1.75 billion in unexpected surpluses and tax revenue and dramatically increased state spending. Overall state spending increased by 17% for the year. Bob Bernick Jr. of the Deseret Morning News noted that if one were to add state funds spent from the previous fiscal year to the following year, then state government spending increased 35.6%. “Think about that for a moment,” he wrote. “State government has grown by more than ONE-THIRD in just two years.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2008, Governor Huntsman “announced a plan in his state budget proposal that would include $400 million in bond funding through the Utah Housing Corp. to buy mortgage-backed securities from Utah lenders.” The President of the Utah Housing Corporation at the time described the plan, which would “…essentially have the agency acting as the state's version of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Governor Huntsman said in 2009 that President Obama’s failed “stimulus” spending bill didn’t spend enough – it should have been a trillion dollars. Governor Huntsman also stated that “if I were in Congress, I probably would not have voted in favor because it didn't have enough stimulus and probably wasn't big enough to begin with.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Huntsman was also unequivocal in his backing of the Wall Street Bailout, or TARP, saying in a 2008 debate with his Democratic opponent that, “Do we need a rescue package? Do we need the federal government to backstop to the tune of $700 billion? I don't think there's any way around it. Congress is going to have to step in and do something.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Huntsman said “health care is a right,” and he once threatened insurance companies in Utah with adding mandates if they did not reduce the price of health insurance, saying that after a year of asking “If that doesn't work, then I think we're looking very realistically at an individual mandate in getting us to where I think we need to be.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Governor Huntsman has flip-flopped on cap and trade, stating on record supporting cap and trade. For example, Governor Huntsman was one of only two Republican Governors (the other was Arnold Schwarzenegger) to sign onto the Western Climate Initiative, which “is an alliance of states and provinces along the western edge of North America seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lay the groundwork for a regional cap and trade system.”

He defended cap-and-trade during a 2008 debate against his Democratic opponent as well, saying, “I do know this, whoever is elected on November 4th is going to move forward with a cap-and-trade program, and I think it’s better for us to be there early on with a model that works for coal-rich states as opposed to having something foisted upon us from those who don’t quite understand the economics.”

Since returning to the United States from China, Governor Huntsman has said that cap-and-trade “hasn’t worked.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Governor Huntsman created a “minimum wage working group” in 2005 and after the working group detailed its findings, namely that increasing the minimum wage would increase the salaries of minimum wage workers (and result in higher costs for small businesses), Governor Huntsman lobbied Utah’s Congressional delegation to urge them to support a federal minimum wage increase.
