He won the anti-war vote in NH too.

Something is fundementally flawed in this country. I simply can not believe people against the Iraq war are voting for John "100 more years" McCain.


We can not mantain a constitutional republic without an educated electorate.

Is there a low tax, pro-liberty nation I can move to?

Yes I've been watching the exit poll results. Its ridiculous. Paul needs to run ads distinugishing himself as the anti-war conservative.

Shows how powerful the media is.

Also shows that there are TONS of people out there we can enlighten!

I agree 100%, time to get his message out there on a National scale!

Well, these same states went for McCain in 2000. Its largely familiarity with the McCain name. Once we get out of these states and move towards ones that went overwhelmingly to Bush then we should pick up some of the antiwar vote.

I also think that it has something to do with the conservative talking heads not trouncing on Mccains 100 year statement. It contradicts many of the talking points. So, many McCain voters just don't know about it.

You have to remember that "anti-war" in a republican party exit poll is not the same as "anti-war" in a democrat party exit poll.

It might help if we had an antiwar ad.

Republican 'anti-war' must mean the Bush/Rumsfeld strategy was wrong.

We need to circulate some youtubes showing McCain as the lying warmonger that he is.

That's most likely part of it, yes.

He isn't winning the anti-war vote, he's winning the "war was mismanaged" vote.

absolutely... it makes him feel anti Bush and people care right now about being anti Bush than peace... such a perversion of logic, but we need to move on that and correct it...

Ya at least in Iowa RP got 54% of the "angry" at Bush crowd.

NH voters are odd. McCain would just continue the wars that are started and not bother looking for WMD, as he has said.

I'm personally flabbergasted that he gets any votes. How many times has he betrayed the Republican base? Most recent and notably, with amnesty. And I'm not buying his magical "conversion" on the issue, either. :mad:
