Mike Huckabee loses Iowa Caucus

AP-- January 4th, 2008

Yesterday, in what can only be described as a political anomaly, Mike Huckabee was defeated in Iowa by obscure isolationist Congressman Ron Paul despite polling high in the ever accurate media polls. Supporters of the kooky Congressman from Crazytown came out of their parent's basements in mass to vote for their cult hero. These nerds, misfits, white supremacists, and non Republicans think that this minute victory will catapult their crank candidate to the Republican nomination, but as political expert George Stephanopolous told us yesterday,"That's not going to happen." But enough about the winner, let's spend the rest of the page talking about Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee who are still the frontrunners according to us sane people and most of America...

[hawks4ronpaul]

never heard of that guy.

Exactly.


Clarification: Tsongas won the 1992 NH primary and Tom Harkin won the 1992 Iowa caucus in a landslide (Clinton got 3% in Iowa).

Associated Press, January 3, 2008:

Voting Fraud May Have Occured, Iowa Voting Machines Blamed For "Impossible Result," Says Expert Political Analyst:

[adpierce]

Unfortunately I don't know that it is possible for Ron Paul to win Iowa or even place well unless he can get 50.1% or better to show up in the Caucuses. You see it's not enough to have the most people out of all other candidates show up. Other candidate's supporters can band together to block out another candidate who would otherwise win. We all know that Ron Paul has no love lost with his fellow neo-con compadres and if Ron Paul does have a high turnout I don't doubt this tactic will be employed. I'll give you a very generous scenario

Ron Paul 40%
Huckabee 26%
Romney 19%
Thompson 9%
Guiliani 6%

Huckabee supporters join Romney supporters ... that's 45% resulting in a delegate who will go to the convention... who will be open to voting for either huck or Romney and will exclude the option of voting for Ron Paul.

Another scenario Huckabee supporters joins with Thompson And Guiliani supporters that again is 41% ... to get a delegate who won't support Ron Paul at the convention.

Romney supporters could even join with Thompson and Guiliani to make sure not even the top two candidates win that precinct with a 44% share of the precinct vote.

These are just three scenarios where Ron Paul loses delegates. This sort of thing happens all the time at caucuses. That's how they are different from primaries. People can join together to spite a candidate... and somehow I have this feeling that there might be a lot of that going on at the caucuses that's why we need a torrent of supporters attending caucuses. We need 50.1% in any given caucus site to make sure we select the delegates.

[coffeewithchess]

It'd be a complete upset, but I don't think he can get first.

Third is very good and possible.

I agree...I saw last night on Fox from one of their polls that it went:
Huckabee 35%
Romney 27%
Thompson 9%
Giuliani 8%
Paul 8%
McCain 6%(I think)

[Highstreet]

"Huckabee wins! Huckabee Wins!


After conceeding defeat to an unnofficial winner, Huckabee wins the hearts of the at least 18 people who came out to vote for him. Romney was a close third, and with Guilanai and McCain focussing on future primaries all eyes will be on more important states.

[conner_condor]

Faux morning news. Those RP supporters are at it again. They just spammed the Iowa polls from their computers. They spammed the diebold machines to make it look like he has support
See, diesbold is a computer also and is the same as a computer at home and they figured out how to send waves from their computers to these diebold machines.

[steph3n]

the problem occurs when you account for turnout.
RP supporters = hardcore voters
all others = lethargic fair-weather voters

NEVER stop getting votes, Iowa is crucial to eliminating the idea of RP as a fringe candidate

[Paul4Prez]

Here's how they would spin it:

"Ron Paul, who is not a factor in the race nationally, leveraged his small but active support base to eke out a narrow win in the Iowa caucuses, edging out Mike Huckabee, who appears to be the top tier candidate with the most momentum going into the New Hampshire primaries next Tuesday. Mitt Romney also fared well, topping Giuliani and McCain, to set up a New Hampshire showdown next week.

Fred Thompson is expected to drop out of the race on Monday after his disappointing finish, which should bolster Huckabee's chances even more. Whether his Iowa momentum will be enough to help him catch Romney and McCain in New Hampshire remains to be seen, as does whether Giuliani's Florida strategy can still be salvaged."

A top 3 finish in Iowa would help raise Ron Paul's credibility nationally as a serious candidate, which is probably his biggest hurdle right now. With all the money he has raised and all of the volunteers he has, he doesn't need to win either Iowa or New Hampshire to still have a strong campaign heading into February 5th.

We just have to do as well as we can, and keep fighting. The other candidates are the ones in danger of running out of money, and thin on actual supporters. Don't forget that, no matter what happens early on.

[Paulite5112007]

He will get at least 3rd place and that will be enough to cause a stir heading into N.H. Doesn't matter where Guiliani falls, he isn't counting on Iowa or N.H. so his place is irrelevant and the media knows it. The problem with a 3rd place showing is that it might be close enough to 4th and 5th to not matter. I am hoping for at least 18% for Ron Paul at 3rd with Huck and Romney splitting 50% at 23% and 27% resp.. That will leave McCain with about 12% and Guiliani with about 10% and Thompson with 7%...the last 3% is split to Hunter/Trancredo(he might still get votes?) and Other.

The closer to McCain we are the worse it will be. We need to be closer to 2nd place than 4th place.

[curtisag]

BREAKING NEWS:

Record low voter turnout in the Republican Presidential Caucus allows Ron Paul a surprise win in Iowa. Experts believe the cold weather and high profile football games on TV the night of the caucus lead to this strange turn of electoral events. Huckabee grabbed 2nd place (the presumptive front-runner currently), and Romney finished with a strong 3rd place showing. Frank Luntz assured the media at a press conference today that Ron Paul's surprise win in Iowa was a complete fluke produced by low turnout and argued his focus groups continue to be very much against the campaign of Ron Paul. Frank Luntz stated, "It's going to be a lot harder for the Pauliacs, as I like to call them, to spam the polls in the larger states with higher turnout. I expect Ron Paul to fall flat on his face starting in South Carolina." The media was very pleased with the analysis and it's set to run on every major network throughout the week. :)

I was completely apathetic about politics when the Ames straw poll was taken.

I did not find out about Ron Paul until 1 month later....and then I joined these forums. Since then, I've converted most of my friends and family And the campaign has grown tremendously.

It would be fantastic if we can win it all, but a 3rd place finish not far off the 2nd place would provide as much momentum.

Republicans can do it this way as well and have been known to do it in the past, and the likelihood that they will do things like this are much higher due to the fact that the race is so hot here in Iowa. Honestly any number of people have a good chance to win here in Iowa... including Ron Paul supporters. If you take into account that Ron Paul is the pariah of the neo-cons, if it appears that Ron Paul will win a precinct whos to say that delegate selection might not be a little more strategic than going to the ballot box and selecting your candidate. The point is the neo-cons are completely capable of railroading delegates through regardless of who brought the most people to the caucus.

The "fringe" candidate Ron Paul pulls out the victory, but he is irrelevant to the actual race. With a strong showing look for Fred Thompson to make a run in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Mitt Romney believes he has New Hampshire locked up and is starting to spend heavily in Florida in hopes of catching Rudy Guiliani, who was a no show on the radar at the Iowa Caucuses. Some election officials believe Guiliani had his supporters rally behind Ron Paul to make his opposition look like they are un-electable candidates.

Speaking of actually happening:

"Some thoughts on those angry voters. Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming. It's clear that the anger controls the child and not the other way around. It's the job of the parent to teach the child to control the anger and channel it in a positive way. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage. The voters had a temper tantrum last week....Parenting and governing don't have to be dirty words: the nation can't be run by an angry two-year-old."
