Word of mouth: "In Idaho, Ron Paul got more votes than Hillary and Barack combined"

The Idaho Democratic contest was a caucus, not a primary.

Can't understand why you all are getting happy about 24% when McCain got 70%

24% is disappointing considering that the dropped out candidates like Huckabee were finally not on the ballot and many of those votes don't necessarily come from Ron Paul supporters, they are protest votes from people who don't like McCain.

I'm only going to be happy when Dr. Paul beats McCain.

Well, 70% is NOT a mandate for McCain no matter how you spin it.

He will lose in a landslide, of his own doing.

I understand that. What it is to me, is a showing that our movement has better numbers than the media will admit to. While I do understand that some of those votes were probably just protest votes, I much prefer a protest vote to someone toeing the party line, like so many Republicans have done in the past.

It's a good sign.

Forgot we did so well in this one.
