[Warlord]

Far too early for this.

[Warlord]

Go to 2014 forum to see my crunching of the polling using 2012 election sample i.e what's likely to happen today not what the biased pollster claims will happen.

Sanford wins easily.

[Warlord]

Here's the analysis from public polling and using 2012 sampling:

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?413503-MY-FINAL-SANFORD-PREDICTION-Sanford-55-ECB-45

By the way, elections in my country take days. Everyone tries to stuff the ballot boxes with votes and it's mayhem!

[Bastiat's The Law]

I assume polls close around 6:00pm?

[georgiaboy]

Far too early for this.

Far from it. Usually, we have results threads posted very early in the day so folks who have voted early can log in & share what they experienced. Gets the juices flowing before polls close, and several pages of replies linked in a nice flowing package for review of the day's activity.

I would've thought the purple thumbs would limit the ability to stuff.

Yeah, I was waiting for a RESULTS thread to be posted. Should be a fun day!

[supermario21]

I love results threads with other RPFers. Don't forget, once this race ends, expect to see some excitement with regards to Lindsey's seat.

Sanford got the Graham endorsement so when he wins he aint going to cause him trouble.

Graham always does enough to save his own ass. He's a survivor.

That stuff is easy to remove and the stuffing is a sight to behold. The guy who pays the biggest bribe wins. Bit like US elections!

[Aratus]

we have about FOUR hours before any of the networks even DARE to opine on the eventual House victor!!!!

earlier today I had an interesting exchange of ideas with Warlord! He is most likely 100% correct about the

ten percentage point advantage Mark Sanford could emerge with by midnight! i had indeed thought it to be

a two or three percent win & then i thought again about all those exit polls up in Wisconsin that time being

a seven point TeaParty roar instead of the presumed 50/50 split. this could be a long night or maybe not!!!!

[nobody's_hero]

its going to be one of the few times Dr. Ron Paul and the worldly wise senator from South Carolina are agreeing about something...

I hope Sanford hangs out a lot with Massie and Amash when he gets there.

Son, i've stuffed more ballot boxes than you've had school lunches. I know my elections.

[Aratus]

duckie... Aratus is 50something and female

[Warlord]

We don't recognize women round here. Sorry. Get back to the kitchen!

[Aratus]

duckie... in a harry s. truman manner of "standing the heat" in a very metaphoric way???

the old expression is... if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! are you saying

i ought to run for the senate in 2014 up here rather than just thinking it happily over ????

[Aratus]

in 2 hours and 20 minutes we will see the polls close in S.C

it is not too late to get people out the door and voting!!!!!

There's nothing we can do.... go and buy some popcorn.

in about one hour and fifteen minutes this thread will be jumpin' about like a texas jackrabbit becuz polls close in S.C at 7 p.m EST!

[Bastiat's The Law]

Are there any tweets coming out of the district?

[Warlord]

Are there any tweets coming out of the district?

People there won't use the internet to tell you what's going on. Twitter is full of liberal morons and progressives and they've taken over all the relevant tags.

I'd bet the people in the district are the sick of the liberals swarming round their district the last few weeks begging for their vote so aren't interested in twittering

[Warlord]

lol @ hotair's ericka. She still thinks its lost. their "coverage" on this race has been a joke for a conservative site. Full of hate for Sanford and persistent worry and freak outs that he's going to lose.

chill out for gods sake and look at the facts.

[Lucille]

^ HotAir hates Mark because 1) he's not a neo-Trotskyite and 2) it makes them feel righteous when they moralize even though they're pro-lifers for mass murder.

[Warlord]

Honestly, every post ive read there on this race has been completely negative.

With friends like these....


Credit to REDSTATE and Erickson who has stood by Sanford from day 1 in the primary and supported him 100%

[Warlord]

Actual update from the district:


daveweigel @daveweigel
(http://twitter.com/daveweigel) Hard to find a wag covering #SC01 (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23SC01) who thinks Sanford will lose.

[XTreat]

I don't get how these Clinton lovers can talk about Sanford's affair negatively and then take themselves seriously.

[T.hill]

First votes begin to be reported at 7 EST, if anyone has links relevant to the thread you should post em.

http://www.live5news.com/category/250603/live-stream

Edit: Not sure when first votes are reported, but I guess polls closed at 7

[Warlord]

+rep for local tv stream. We dont get channels like that on Pakistani satellite.

I'm going to open a beer!

[Warlord]

Oh it's not live tv?

is there a charleston tv station online?

I don't see the other thread

[torchbearer]

do they add her totals together?

[Warlord]

they're just hypocrites.

Sanford just shrugs it all off and smiles and charms people. He's not a politician walking round with his head hung in shame.

[Aratus]

it got bumped up

[torchbearer]

are you sure this thread is official? its doesn't say official in the title.

Yes.

good point...

Another link for results: http://www.enr-scvotes.org/SC/46180/116696/en/summary.html

[Warlord]

Be interesting to see what he says in his victory speech.

-Will he give a shout out to the Tea Party? Rand Paul?

- Will he say "this is a rejection of the Obama-Pelosi agenda... they spent millions trying to defeat me and failed!" (that's sure to endear him to conservatives all over the place)

- Will he try and smooth things over with Boehner and the establishment hoping to get 15 years of seniority recognized? I think that's important to him and the district so I doubt he will saying anything incendiary.

- He should give out a shout out to Senator Scott and remind everyone he's a black Republican in the Senate and they're all proud of him.

[Warlord]

Wonder what the reaction will be like if he does mention Boehner or Lindsey Graham. Will be listening out for boo's.

[Lucille]

is this an official thread? i don't want to follow unauthorized threads.

LOL Reminds me of this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x04V5R4uZOA

[Warlord]

is there a local TV stream from Charleston? Are they covering it or anything?

[Michigan11]

He could be an interesting guy to have in the house coming from a much higher office, and having been thrown to the trash by the politicos and media. Could be a hell raiser type, you never know

[ClydeCoulter]

are you sure this thread is official? its doesn't say official in the title.

No, it doesn't. I was not expecting it to official. Is it?

[torchbearer]

No, it doesn't. I was not expecting it to official. Is it?
i really don't know anymore.
matt, please create a thread. i will post froggy glyphs.

[Warlord]

He's not the type to raise hell... I doubt he'd do that. He likes to get along with people but he's principled.

He'll certainly stand up to the whips behind closed doors.

I asked him on twitter if he'll reject the whips overtures and he said yes. He also confirmed to me something about foreign policy but I can't remember specifically but i was happy with the response. This was early in his primary. He's kept quiet since he won the primary online as he probably knows more people are watching the account and has been advised to button it.

[T.hill]

No, it doesn't. I was not expecting it to official. Is it?

Does it matter

if someone has a really good streaming link, it helps the people who are about to go online

There's about 40 national journalists in the district who have covered hundreds of campaigns between them if they're saying Sanford then that should be good enough.

That could be a double-edged sword. It could be heavy establishment type republicans who might be lukewarm to a conservative like Sanford.

44% IN and she's down 7.

she cannot beat him.

CNN CALLS IT!

[supermario21]

This shows the real power of the Grassroots.

Yeah, Colbert-Busch's campaign was total astro-turf. And the locals don't like that.

[ClydeCoulter]

71% reporting 54% to 45%, favoring Sanford !

[Warlord]

Why hasn't AP called it lulz?

[Warlord]

WHEN IS THE SPEECH!

[NoOneButPaul]

Amazing...

[tsai3904]

I wonder if he'll be sworn in in time for the debt ceiling vote on Thursday.

[69360]

so much for "businesswoman" her only business is losing

[HOLLYWOOD]

Don't forget Sanford was outspent almost 4:1. The National GOP couldn't give two shits about Sanford.Koch Brothers, some other billionaires donated. That loon puppetmaster that bankrolled Rick Santorum's campaign Foster Friess, held some fundraisers for Sanford.

[Warlord]

AP called it with 70% in

woohoo

[MrGoose]

Closer to 2016!

[Aratus]

its ballzier to call it with 55% of the vote in...

[Gage]

AP and Politico following in CNN's projection.

[Brett85]

I love reading the comments at the Daily Kos when one of their candidates lose. :)

[Adrock]

He certainly will have no allegiance to the establishment after they abandoned him.

Best part is the millions in Democrat establishment, union, and liberal money that was wasted.

[JakeH]

Take note, 2014 conservatives.

[Warlord]

I wonder how Erika and the morons at hotair now feel. 2 hours ago she had him losing HAHAHA...

you had very accurate numbers

the 55 to 44 projection

[Brett85]

can you provide samples. i don't want to get mud on my shoes.

Daily Kos comments:

"Well hell. They'd vote for the Devil in order(0+ / 0-)


to keep a Dem out of the seat.

That state is regressive as hell. I feel sorry for the Democrats living there.

I'm bummed. Still hoping for a miracle. :("

"Just goes to show that South Carolinians are beyond reason. They pick an adulterer over a Democrat."

"and the South for their total idiocy if they elect this total hypocritical creep Sanford. I'm sick and tired of throwing money at candidates when stupid stupid stupid people can't even make rational choices. Sanford abandoned their state and his own family, had an affair, lied, and he represents something that is going to appease the people who hate me because I'm gay but is some kind of reformed "family values?" I've HAD IT! EFF YOU SC!!!"

[lakerssuck92]

So glad to see Sanford win. :)

Another ally for Liberty...

[Warlord]

55/45 lets see when 100% is in.

wasting those union dues. gotta love it.

[Warlord]

DailyKos and ACTBLUE sent her 500k HAHAHAH

WHAT A WASTE !!

[Adrock]

wasting those union dues. gotta love it.

Hopefully their members will get pissed and vote in new leadership.

[Warlord]

EVERY UNION known to man gave her like $5,000

check her report... it's funny as hell.

[NOVALibertarian]

I wish nothing but misery on those DailyKos commentors.

HOW COULD THEY VOTE AGAINST A DEMOCRAT????
