Lots of Ron Paul bumper stickers at every polling location I went to. Also joined in a sign wave. Lots of positive reactions. I'd say 3-4 out of 10 cars either honked, gave thumbs up, peace sign, waved, yelled, or reacted positively in some other way. Had one guy shake my hand before I even got out of my Ron Pauled (verb, ha) car, thanking me for voting for him. Some guys in traffic yelled RON PAUL REVOLUTION!!, when they saw my car. I heard it with my windows up. On a sad note, all stickers were ripped off my car and writing on all of the windows was deliberately wiped away. Obviously some Romney supporter felt threatened? Oh well, more stickers and things will go on the car tomorrow! :D Hoping for at least 15% so we can grab some district delegates. I hope to be one of these delegates myself. Hope things go the way we have planned.. :confused:

So how did Ron finish there?

Gotta ask if all the Paulites went to vote together....yeah yeah. Are you delegates?

I voted early last week. Wish he could have gotten to 15%.

Oh well. We'll see what happens. I am a delegate to district, so I'll do what I can there. In fact, the majority of delegates from my county are RP supporters, so... it's not over yet!

Go go Arkansas Ron Paul supporters!! Now if we can only get all 15-20K people who voted for Ron Paul to participate in the delegate process too. How awesome would that be? :D

I didn't see a single Romney sign or bumper sticker anywhere, and haven't this whole year. Lots of Ron Paul support it seems. The number of voters for RP doubled from 2008, despite turnout being a lot lower this time. Here's the official results from the Secretary of State currently:

U.S. President - REP
CONTEST DETAIL MAP
68 of 75 Counties Reporting
Percent Votes
Newt Gingrich (REP) 4.92% 7,381
Mitt Romney (REP) 68.35% 102,590
Rick Santorum (REP) 13.33% 20,006
Ron Paul (REP) 13.40% 20,116
150,093 Total Votes

I hope he holds 2nd place. Every time they update, Santorum inches closer.

I helped vote on the county delegates here. I forget the numbers, but we won about 80% of the county delegates. I am a candidate for national delegate myself, openly supporting Ron Paul, though it looks like I won't be voted in because the 15% threshold was not met. :(

It sucks so bad we didn't get the 15%, I'm a county delegate and we had the majority here to.
