2012: estimated 13%

Thanks for doing the math. +rep.
In terms of votes in SC, RP could actually quadruple his numbers
With 82% counted, he already has 60,732 votes.
16,154*4=64,616. That's absolutely possible.

Quadruple is pretty freaking awesome considering how little time he spent there!

The PACS and Grassroots need to buy local airtime in the early States that expose out biggest enemy - Corporate Media

Let the Campaign expose the other Candidates. We HAVE to fight the Media or they will win like they did in 2008.

Thanks for this post. It is important for all to be reminded of the huge shift that has taken place since 2007. Not only with the increase in Paul supporters, but that Paul issues are being considered in both the Republican and Democratic parties. We created a Tea Party, we got a partial audit of the FED, we now have more people that even understand the FED, and even though other political hacks won't give Paul credit, his policies are being implimented to some degree whereas four years ago they were just laughed at. It is disappointing that Paul didn't do better in SC, but we need to keep our eye on the big picture and here the momentum is in the right direction. The Revolution continues!

God bless you Montana and Idaho.

2012: 67,000+ !!!!!

We QUADRUPLED OUR VOTE IN SOUTH CAROLINA!!!

[Brandon Todd Carr]

Surging!

[FreeTraveler]

Here are a couple numbers. We can do SC after it's done.

Iowa - 219% of 2008 votes
New Hampshire - 310% of 2008 votes
South Carolina - 429% of 2008 votes (with 85% reporting)

That's one HELL of a trend line.

Keep the faith, and keep your perspective.

So we're getting STRONGER with time...EXCELLENT. It seems to me, too, that the amount of time and money has been inverse to the percentage gains.

Yeah, considering he didn't go full-court press in SC, and it's grassroots not media building the counts, that's freakin' amazing. Bodes well for the future.

75,274 votes with 99% counted.
VOTES NEARLY QUINTUPLED since 2008

CNN has already 99% reporting: http://edition.cnn.com/election/2012/primaries/state/sc

[Romulus]

good thread is good.

[Odin]

The google one says 95% reporting and Beaufort county hasn't reported yet.

[FreeTraveler]

I'll wait for the final from SC election board tomorrow before a final update. Those numbers are critical information.

Think on this for a while. Does anybody know how yeast multiplies? Now think about how a grassroots movement grows.

Now reflect on those numbers for a while. :)
