We were never going to be a factor in the deep south


I see Newt dropping out, and Santorum taking on Romney 1 v 1 after tonight

[carterm]

should be a long night

[BamaAla]

Come on Newt! Need you to win Bama buddy.

[CTRattlesnake]

CNN's exit polls are usually dead on.


Santorum will win Alabama, and I think Romney holds off for the win in MS.


We enter a 3 way race soon

First rule of business is to never blame your customers for your failure to sell them your product. It applies to politics as well. They aren't idiots because they did not vote for Paul, the failure was in giving them a reason why they should.

Naw, they're pretty much idiots.

I see what you're saying, but people base much of their decision making on emotions. "The scary Muslims are going to kill us all", while laughably inane, persuades people more than "the government is on track to throw you in prison without a trial." People for some reason cannot figure out the relative probabilities of each assertion.

Revised exit poll:

Mississippi:

New CNN Exit poll for Mississippi

Romney 33%
Santorum 32%
Gingrich 30%
Paul 5%

This is from memory so please correct me if needed

[MozoVote]

Watching all these votes pile up for Santorum, is making me feel the same way about the GOP as I would watching the returns for the Green Party or the New Alliance Party. They're just so far out-of-whack, what else would you expect?

[svobody]

I mean, we're basically screwed. The media has reverted to full on Ron Paul blackout, they don't even mention him in articles about the race, they refer to only 3 candidates, we don't even exist in the minds of most voters at this point. Most people think Ron has dropped out. Sad but true, and with no money for ad buys, we really have no way of combating this.

[tbone717]

Yeah, not really in the mood for the world according to Tbone tonight, so back off, please.

Kathy it is disingenuous and elitist. We are above that. Ron Paul would never approach the podium and call the voters of AL and MS idiots, so why should we?

[CTRattlesnake]

Santorum may actually sweep.


Oh well, too bad Hawaii is so late, i have a good feeling about the liberty lovers over there!

[Agorism]

how many times did can revise it?

I asked nicely. Every single thread I post on you are right there to disagree with anything I say. It's borderline stalking in my opinion and it's getting on my last nerve.

[PaulSoHard]

Makes a win in Hawaii seem all that more important.

When Newt drops we can expect a media push of Romney vs Santorum, the GOP idiots.

[justatrey]

lol, come on everyone didn't we know these states were completely hopeless? I mean I was hoping for maybe 7 or 8% but does it really matter? I'm just hoping Romney doesn't win either but it looks like he'll win Mississippi.

[Jeffster]

There is a threshold for delegates in both states; we will not reach that threshold.

On the bright side, we will likely more than double our support from 2008 (Alabama.)

[devil21]

That's cute. Recruiting jail inmates as poll workers. Surely they'll be the first to blow the whistle on any fraud observed. It's not like their sentences are being shortened for their cooperation.

[rockandrollsouls]

How do you mean? You don't think we can sneak some delegates through that declare support for Romney or Santorum and vote Paul at the convention?

[spudea]

why would newt drop out? Hes gonna get delegates from this. Unless he's got internal polls showing him distant 3rd or 4th in the next rounds of contests he has no reason to drop out. We want him to stay in so it keeps things divided up so hopefully RP supporters infiltrate his delegate elections and vote for Ron Paul at the convention.

I know most of the delegates that were for other candidates; they aren't the type. Our delegates are bound any way.

How do you mean? You don't think we can sneak some delegates through that declare support for Romney or Santorum and vote Paul at the convention?

One of the states, I cannot recall which one, the delegates declared candidate preference on the ballot, and those delegates were awarded to the candidate based on the primary vote. Someone posted a sample ballot earlier today and explained it. I'm thinking it was AL, but cannot be sure.

[tbone717]

If Newt is employing a southern strategy to interject himself back into the race, he doesn't have any states ahead to do it with. LA is the only southern state (unless you want to throw MO in there) between now and the end of April. There are a lot of big contests coming up where he would probably be a distant third if the current polling is reasonably accurate. So I think he would drop to save face, but you never know what can happen.

[parocks]

Dont kid yourself.

We were never going to be a factor in the deep south


I see Newt dropping out, and Santorum taking on Romney 1 v 1 after tonight

why? a logical, reasonable person would think, based on those numbers, that Ron Paul would be the one dropping out.

It's in our best interest to have the delegates split 3 ways, rather than 2. If the delegates are split 2 ways, one of the 2 people isn't falling behind.

If Paul, Gingrich, Santorum all have the same basic strategy - open / brokered convention - they all can just continue on, and hope for the best.

[PC_for_Paul]

How can you be serious about anything when this is going on:

http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?id=AMBNS

and yet not once has somebody broke out a chart like this and ask Bernanke, If the constitution gives the Congress the right to print money, then why sir would we borrow it?

They don't even know what they don't know, where do you start?

Absolutely - save face. What about Ron Paul? Um, well. How is it that "save face" doesn't apply to us, but does to Gingrich. There are practical concerns - 3 of the 4 are shooting for open / brokered. And it's doable.

[kathy88]

Come on Newt! Need you to win Bama buddy.

Reply to Tbone:

Do you guys not see? Yes, Im sure some of it is the Ron Paul campaign's fault, yes. However, most of it is the media and the local party guys screwing us... We arent getting our asses handed to us because we suck or the people who vote are idiots. Its because people just vote on Bandwagon. I can name the amount of people on my hand who straight up told me they WILL NEVER VOTE FOR PAUL, however, 90% of them say "I like Ron Paul, but he doesnt have a chance..."... This is the problem. I am sooooo damn sure of it that I would be willing to be the next $10k that I make (that takes me 3 1/3 months)! I am MORE than sure thats the issue. Its because the media constantly tells us he cant win. Remember those 22k IDed voters in NV??? Well, guess what? Those were pre Iowa caucus numbers, but post Iowa leading poll results. When people see him lose, the worse he does. Everybody just believes hes a nuisance because thats what the media tells us. The media is the main culprit. The 2nd is the local GOP party guys doing vote fraud in a few of the early voting states, which is all that was needed to crush any and all chances. Its sucks, I know.. I only wish we had enough in Ron's life to do a 3rd run, because if that was the case, Ron Paul would win because we would have taken over the local parties while in waiting, if we dont win a brokered convention, God forbid. We will eventually see a Rand Paul (if not Ron this time) as Pres, with Ron Paul as senior/chief advisor.

If Grinch drops out Ron can't stay in much longer if even because the campaign won't have the funds. It looks like our campaign is in its twilight :(

Though Grinch said today he won't be dropping out let's hope he doesn't.

All of which underscores the importance of momentum.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but some have suggested that if the campaign had been more definitive on the newsletter attacks (perhaps a press conference at that time) we might have performed better in IA. Also, one can only speculate what the IA results would have been if Paul had visited all 99 counties. It's hard to say what could have been if Paul had a decisive win in IA, but we can take from all this the lesson that we need to be very strong early on and take a stand. We had a decent start in IA and NH, but faded quickly thereafter and really never made any major recovery. I think we see that reflected in the single digits we are now getting in primary contests compared with the 23% he had in NH.

[BamaAla]

Romney leading both states currently with Rick and Newt 2 and 3.

Just flipped when I posted. Now the order is Rick, Mitt, Newt in both states.

[rodo1776]

Our best bet is that the grinch is out and its Santo, US, and Romney. But then maybe Romney swallows his tounge and puts santo on as VP. Obama wins and Rand is viable for 2016.

They didn't give us any coverage when Ron did have a lot of money. What exactly will have changed? He'll do what he did last time and continue to visit colleges, release videos and encourage supporters to keep working for delegate spots. He's not dropping out. He (and his campaign...Im talking to you Jesse) needs to avoid saying anything that can be interpreted as dropping out though. Learn from 2008!

[tbone717]

Oh much better. Thank you.
Sure thing. Funny how people are still voting for Huntsman, Perry and Bachmann isn't it.

[cmo4ever]

Tonight might work for us. Romney in third place in both states would be perfect. All about siphoning delegates off Romney so we get to that open convention. Keep your eye on the ball. Tonight if he takes third in both that's about the best we coule have hoped for. The stealth delegates and delegates in general don't work if Romney is a freight train of momentum.

Those high gas prices that will go even higher can mess up Obama's re-election chances. It's too early to start assuming Obama will win. Also Don't forget about the economic collapse Dr. Paul has been predicting.

The cash won't dry up completely. This is uber fiscal conservative Paul we're talking about. I haven't seen his funds totals lately but if you recall, he ended the 2008 campaign with millions in the bank. I assume a similar plan will be in place to use through the rest of the campaign and at the convention to help get delegates there. I plan to keep donating and Im sure plenty others do. He can do a lot with a few hundred thousand dollars when he's not spending millions on ads.

[lordindra3]

Tbone-
Want to know what would have happened if we had won IA? Well, its a guarantee 10-15% bump in NH, so Paul would have won or would have tied Romney in NH, which would have made Paul a media sensation. He would have placed 2nd in SC (dont think he would have come in 1st), 2nd in FL, 1st in NV, 1st in MN, 2nd or 1st in CO, won Maine, 2nd in MI, 3rd in AZ, 1st in WA in a landslide, 1st in ID, AK, ND, Vermont and would have been declared winner of Super Tuesday and then all the money would be spend battling the winner take all states, but it would be competitive nonetheless. It would have been over. Paul would be President. It would be record moments. The media sees all this. The media knew that people vote most on "who can beat Obama" so they constantly held the narrative that "Paul has no chance" and they had to crush any IA chances or they knew it would be toast. I am willing to bet my life on what I have said here. Its not a theory, but a fact. The only thing that could have stopped him winning the momentum of what I said above is if the GOP, out of fear, did something so nasty that I didnt even factor it in... Momentum is key!

What you said about the press conference, I can see that being valid. I think there was a bunch of mistakes. Another one was his handeling of the Suix City debate. Theres a bunch, but the media and local GOP is the main culprit.

Speaking of gas... have you all seen the NEWT gas 2.50 a gallon campaign signs? This is another thing we are dealing with. People really think that the president can control the price of gas directly. No understanding of market issues, etc... Newt says it will be 2.50. If I elect him gas will automatically be 2.50. I'm all about personal freedom but at the same time shouldn't a short quiz be necessary to vote? LOL. J/K

I may throw up. When the shtf I'm not feeding these idiots.

How much money did the campaign spend there? How often did Ron Paul visit?

If nothing was done to campaign there, what more can be expected?

I also agree that there were many mistakes made, especially around the newsletters and the "delegate strategy" which won't win nominations. It's easier to criticize in hindsight. We, as a movement, know better and will do better in 2016. We can't spend four years blaming the Party and the media and the voters and hiding behind theories about voter fraud. We have to learn from our mistakes and our experience and change and adapt. Otherwise, we'll all become bitter and cynical.

Meanwhile, we still have primaries and caucuses. No one's reached 1144... so we can still compete and gain delegates and influence in the party.
