View Full Version : 10% to us is not the same as 10% to others

When we see 10% we are upset and a bit angry. However if a normal person not following Ron Paul sees 10% he is surprised that the candidate that was called Kooky and a nut actually got a substantial amount of the vote, enough to be considered a serious contender.

The evidence of this is all the new supporters on the board posting here tonight.

Yeah, agreed. It is also a wake-up call to all those who were living in "ZOMG TEH RON PAUL WILL WIN IOWA" fantasy land.

We need to vastly increase our level of organization, starting tomorrow. This means getting the cell phone numbers of people in your meetup group, exchanging information, coordinating with the campaign, and most importantly,

NAMING PRECINCT CAPTAINS

This was far from a disaster. Obviously we would have liked to have gotten third but exceeding the polling numbers is really all we should have expected. Clearly things will have to be better in NH.

Ron Paul got triple the votes of Giuliani. Two months ago you would have been laughed at for even suggesting that would be possible.

Great point. 10%, we need to climb the mountain now! We can do it!

Everybody has their part to play and tweak their efforts and most importantly talk to people if that is your thing, otherwise get slim jims to at least the people in your neighborhood, if not your whole damn city!

Let's cut the bullshit.

I hope so. Yesterday, when all the predicitons were still going on, people that predicted 3rd (like me) were called trolls, LOL.

That's right. From what I've been hearing, for most everybody outside the Paulhead bubble, 10% surpasses expectations.
