NH polls open 7AM - What will Rand get ?

Just noticed in the meme CPUd posted:

Cruz has giant ears that rival Rubio's Donkey ears. And then I think of LBJ, and Obama.

Is there some evil gene that politicians have that also carries the trait for big ears? Or is it a sign that they're really lizard people?

Actually, large ears (especially when they have long lobes) are indicative of a strong physical constitution. They are much more common on people born before WWII (before our food went to $#@!) and those raised on good quality food in countries where the diet is better. Look at pictures and statues of the Buddha, for example. Many very elderly people have such earlobes.

NO ONE BUT PAUL MOTHERFUCKER

If only I could like a post, I Will write in Paul in MI. Cruz can suck it, the whole dam field and the RNC can go to hell.

Praying that there's some brave soul in Dixville Notch or another of the towns that vote at the stroke of midnight

Kasich just won that one.

[James Otis, Jr.]

Rand Paul picked up a vote in one of the three midnight voting precincts. His name was last on the whiteboard and probably added after the voting slips were read.

Your ears actually get bigger as you grow older. Actually, they sort of sag, but they appear to get bigger with age.

So they did start at midnight, as I had always heard about New Hampshire.

USA Today front page has Hillary and Bernie pics above a Republican Ted Cruz
for the New Hampshire primary front page article.

Online edition already has started with the first tally . . .
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...hire/80012880/

Voting started in the wee hours of Tuesday in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary.
In Dixville Notch, residents did their traditional first voting just after midnight, bringing smiles to the faces of Bernie Sanders and John Kasich.
Sanders swept Hillary Clinton in Dixville Notch, 4-0, while Kasich topped Donald Trump, 3 votes to 2.

In Hart’s Location, population 43, Kasich bested Trump again, 5 votes to 4, with Chris Christie gathering 2 votes. Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, and Marco Rubio got one vote each. Sanders edged Clinton, 12 votes to 7. Mark Stewart Greenstein, who calls himself a “liberty-leaning Democrat,” got 2 votes, the Union Leader reported.
But the real deal starts as polls across the state open later Tuesday morning . . .

Lol when the voting started and I turned on CNN coverage last night, I thought the small numbers were saying how many towns each candidate won or something. But those were the actual number of votes. At 4pm EST CNN is starting the real coverage.

Let's just hope he doesn't steal too many Cruz votes, that would let Rubio and Trump win.

I hope Carson drops out before voting opens, his crowd seems like they'd vote for Cruz.

Ted Cruz is a statist. I would encourage everyone on this forum to ignore these Cruz plants.

[AuH20]

I hate Cruz but he never said that.

I can't get Grandpa Munster out of my head now whenever I see Ted Cruz

The biggest question of the NH race will be this: How far does Marco Roboto fall? Third? Fourth? Possibly lower?

I'm thinking somewhere between 40% and 60%.

Would be higher, but I think he lost some support due to dropping out.

Well, looks like I was wrong. I blame the cold weather. If it wasnt so cold in NH we probably would have had better turnout and Rand Paul would have won NH I think.

You're a true leader! You can admit when you were wrong, even providing a direct reference to it, but you don't stop at just admitting you were wrong. YOU ARE LOOKING AT REASONS WHY! The weather was definitely cold today. It looks like it's below freezing right now, and it's difficult to get out in that type of weather.

Maybe we should look at hand-warmers and snowplows for 2020, instead of blimps?

This is wrong, Texan. We know the Paul's always do better on colder days, because only die hard Paul fans vote when the weather is bad. The other candidate's supporters aren't hard enough to get out there when the weather is bad to vote hard.

Maybe a couple of Eduardo's socks...

I've actually seen our good friend Ed on Facebook go hardcore against Ted. But it was my first thought.

Yeah, I'm not Cruzer.
