Oh, crap! He is tied with 0%! This may be closer than we thought!

Ist District is going as expected,,
unfortunately.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

When you know Its name, you know pride.
It is our nature, It is man.
Yet It is ripped from our souls, so
When you know Its meaning, you feel pain.

Don't despair MAN:
It is our nature, It will return to you.
It will keep your heart beating, and soon It will overcome.
Toady is the win.

haha, its getting better and better:
Amash has 46.4% to second places 19.1%.
17.1% precincts reporting.
Does anyone know if this district is traditionally republican or democrat? I hope he wins the general election too.

That's not even competitive lol.
He doesn't have to win by 50% or more right? No run-off?

"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
It is a republican lock in the general election.Originally Posted by farrar
Toady!!!
I read just a little while ago that the district is traditionally republican. It leans republican, its a republican year, and Amash is "a beast" to put it in terms of this 17 year old. I am very optomistic that there may actually be atleast two people in congress that agree with what I believe in. God thats amazing, until 6 months ago I thought everything I believed in was a lost cause for the seemingly more and more stagnet libertarian 3rd party. I'm so happy that America may have the opportunity to elect Amash along side Ron Paul. Haha, I'm beginning to have more and more hope for America.

Excellent!!!
Man!
That is an ass kicking. I thought Amash was a small favorite, but the race was gonna be close
Justin did very well at ~ 42% of the vote. Anything around 20%, 1 out of 5, is good and anything near 33%, 1 out of 3, is quite good. Personally, I'd rate 50% of the vote as excellent. Hopefully, he'll carry the momentum through the general election.

Truth Drives Me
Hell yeah! As others posted in the thread this is a republican seat, so he is pretty much set winning this primary.
1776! Damn good day for this movement and liberty and freedom.
Ron Paul will have back up in the HOUSE!
Congrats to Amash!

GO JUSTIN!!!
This is just the beginning, everybody.
dun dun dun!!!
The Heart of Conservatism is Libertarianism - Ronald Reagan
GREAT NEWS!
Next Peter Schiff!!!!!
I would argue that this is the first true large-scale victory of Ron Paul's campaign. Remember back in 2008, how he said that victory was not possible in the conventional sense, but that it was still possible to win? He then urged his supporters to run for office, saying that this is how we take our country back. Apparently Justin Amash ran for the state legislature at that time and has been in office since. That gained him the policitical experience as well as a position of respect as an elected official in the GOP. In just one term of the state legislature, he has used it as a springboard to win his Congressional primary in a R-safe district, and it looks like he is now on his way to joining Ron in DC. While there have certainly been other candidates who have won their primaries, they have been in D-safe districts. There have been several great candidates who have unfortunately not won their primaries. While Rand looks poised to win, he had the advantage of his father's name recognition and donor list (although this in no way diminishes the hard work and great campaign he's running). It would be great if Peter can pull off his primary in a week, but he will have an uphill battle in the general in a liberal state (again, this in no way diminishes the hard work of his campaign, and if he can pull off an upset victory next week in the primary, he'll be hailed as the genius he is). Really, I think Justin Amish's win is more significant than many realize. This is a serious over-the-fence grand slam in the space of two short years. The success of his political career path should be studied carefully. How did he turn 25% undecided in the polls into a win with 40%? Hopefully we can replicate this success down in NC soon, and continue to do so across the country.

Get Amash to endorse Schiff I think that would look great, just an idea. I think it is to be understood that Americans like an underdog and winners. Also mods are you going to send out emails about the success. I think you could effectively lure back people that might of not came on in a while or got discouraged the general contingency because of the seemingly overwhelming odds in the face of the mainstream.
yep i will have news about Kevin Cannell(ron paul republican at local level) on august 10th
