got that in my inbox this morning.. wait.. no my spam box since that's where the "RNC stuff goes now

I don't see a ticker of outcome but hoping it shows up soon

[Lucille]

Wow. I can't believe they included Ron on that list!

[oyarde]

Wow. I can't believe they included Ron on that list!

Yeah , and I did not even know who Sandavol was .

[Christian Liberty]

Wow. I can't believe they included Ron on that list!

Voted for him and wrote in Judge Napolitano. Didn't pick a third choice. I would have wrote in Amash or Massie if I could have done a second write in, but it didn't let me.

[oyarde]

Wow. I can't believe they included Ron on that list!

I think I may know why ....

[Christian Liberty]

I think I may know why ....

Why?

[oyarde]

Why?

splits the vote between Ron and Rand.

[CaseyJones]

voted for Ron and Rand (you can vote up to 3 times) wrote in Massie

[Lucille]

splits the vote between Ron and Rand.

Man, I didn't even think about that! Of course that has to be why they did it.

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

Voted for Rand, Ron (even though I know that will not happen and would prefer he just enjoy his very busy retirement) and did a write in for Thomas Massie.

[asurfaholic]

Oh well, a vote as such can be counted up as Ron and rand. 5 for rand and 5 for Ron is 10 for liberty. Loosely..

[asurfaholic]

I sure ain't gonna donate money, the RNC is a criminal enterprise in m o

[opal]

anyone see any results on that site?

[Lucille]

I only voted for Rand. Though I'd prefer Ron, he is not going to run against his own son, and I'm not going to play the GOP's sick splitting the vote games.

Man, I didn't even think about that! Of course that has to be why they did it.

I don't know if it will accomplish that, since you can vote for both.

It's a fund raising gimmick. I doubt they'll even publish the results. For all I know, it may not even be a real poll. Those radio buttons could just do nothing.

Yep. This "straw poll" is just a cover for data mining and donation solicitation.

I used one of them.. and the RNC goes to spam everywhere.. so unless I check spam for something that is supposed to be in my regular mail.. I don't even see that shameless begging crap

[oyarde]

Probably works too .

I think that due to the previous elections, we've had a LOT of people getting actively involved in supporting Ron Paul that are still holding on to their positions. We've been replacing Establishment Republicans with Ron Paul Republicans, and many are STILL there. Thus, we have a lot more influence than most are willing to admit that we have. Which is GOOD!

LOL why. They already have my mailing address. They send me surveys and I send them things like this:
