That's actually a good sign for Mr. Nasty (Santorum) since he needs Gingrich last minute cross over voters.

Talk radio has been pounding it into people's heads between every commercial break for months that Ron Paul is dangerous to America.
There are a significant chunk of people who, for no good reason at all, are terrified of him.

It's because they are cowards. It's also why they want to bomb every country that isn't like them.

Because all early exit polling is shady especially if it isn't at least from CNN or a semi reputable source. This guys exit polling looks like it could have been posted on 4chan.

I'm not buying that it's shady, but at the same time I'm sure not going to take his word for it, from a guy who can barely put together a makeshift website selling investment newsletters. Consider the source people (unfortunately the same reason they're not going to let the REVpac's exit-polling gain any credibility).

And this is the reason Paul has no chance. It's so freaking obvious. Rush, Levin, Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly ALL said he was unelectable since September. Then in December Ron took the lead in the Iowa polls. They all launched nuclear attacks on Ron smearing him with lies. The rest is history...
The Republican primary voter is not going to vote for him. It's a done deal folks. I know many of you have not awoken to this reality but after today, Saturday and Super Tuesday, it will start to sink in. We all thought by this point it was going to be Mitt v Ron.

If we finish below 15%, that would not be good. If we finish below 10%, that would be outright terrible. But something tells me this exit poll isn't too far off the mark.

And giving up accomplishes?
We will never stop fighting for what we believe in. You really think it's helpful to let them push us around, and then say "well, they're just too tough to beat. Might as well give up". You're free to do that if you wish, but please keep it to yourself, and don't discourage all of the people who've put in so much effort and accomplished quite a lot here. We're rapidly becoming too big to ignore, and you should know by now that this movement doesn't jsut bvegin and end with Dr. Paul either. He's the biggest piece, not the only piece or way to accomplish our goals.
If it doesn't work out this election, then Rand 2016 or whatever starts early, but just like Dr. Paul, we're fighting to the convention, and they'll have to pry our delegate's votes out of their cold dead hands first.

this honestly just looks like someone trying to say something topical to get people to read his blog so he can advertise his newsletter. Personally, I've never heard of him.

We want Gingrich to do well.
If Gingrich starts doing poorly, this might lead him to drop out. Thus, the chances of a brokered convention become less and less.
Think.

Ron could have a radio platform with around ten million listeners if he wanted the open ears. 4 hours worth of freedom talk.
Sigh...guess their votes aren't good enough.

I would bet that YOU do not, or have not shown up to vote and become a delegate. Only because you have no clue how things work from within the party and how we can change the processes. Son, sit back and watch how we get this done.

Or we could just give a swift kick in the arse to folks who continue to censor their own message by not asking what's so wrong with millions of willing ears over the air waves listening to what the statesman has to say. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?362936-Ron-Paul-Coast-to-Coast
Folks are their own worst enemy more often than not.

sure is shady.
It's illegal to report exit polling data before the polls close.

Absentees aren't exiting??
do people really lack critical thinking skills?

This.
One of the very important goals of the smear campaign against Ron is to dishearten his grassroots base - the grassroots base that won it for Obama. They know that we CAN win it through these tactics if we simply keep trudging on. Just gotta keep it up for another six months. That's nothing

Think.
When I think, I get the opposite conclusion of you. If Romney is the frontrunner and is starting to sweep states, and Gingrich stays in, Romney wins and no brokered convention occurs. If Romney sweeps these two states then Gingrich drops, Santorum gets a boost and increases the chance for brokered convention.
So I'm not sure I agree with your view.
