iowa caucus results
    #7829460 -

So Ron Paul did pretty well... I went in with low hopes, but he managed to pull out 10%... 5th just barely behind Thompson and McCain.

He beat Guliani who got a measley 4%.. but I don't think it says much... Guliani probably isn't goin to do well in midwest states.

I'm suprised we give so much weight to Iowa, Wisconsin, and NH who have shit for electoraral votes. People need to ignore these stupid ass primaries and just focus on the ones for the BIG states like TX,CA,NY,FL,OH

So much weight put into a state who has less electoral votes than my testicles.

If you think about it.. the SWING states like OH and FL should be the ones ppl focus on. These are the states that decide presidents.

I like that we start off with such a small state. I just wish it wasn't full of farmers.

I was surprised to see that Ron Paul beat Guliani by more percentage points than he(Guliani) received. Hopefully the trend keeps going in the direction it is in Iowa. I would like to have seen Edwards beat Hillary by at least 1 percentage point. But oh well. I think if Edwards had the kind of cash the Clinton campaign has he would be doing better.
Republicans... Aside from Rudy only getting %4 I wasn't surprised. As big a supporter of Ron Paul's as I am I don't expect him to get the nomination; although I'll be voting for him. It's just nice to see Jesus is an alien Romney not getting top spot.

"Pretty well"? How on earth do you figure that? Yeah... he beat Giuliani, but only because Giuliani completely ignored Iowa.

Paul might break into double digits again in New Hampshire - because there are probably more Libertarians per capita in NH than any other state in the country - but that'll be the last time we see him in any spot other than last place.

Phred,

Big media Hype for Thompson and McCain did 13% each, and the crazy guy the media shreds in his weakest state, where he spent little time compared to the rest except for Rudy, did 10%.

Paul is also the ONLY one that took a whole county except for Mitt and Huck. It was Jefferson County he won. Thompson and McCain didn;t win in any county.

Some people might see that as pretty well. He also did 34% higher then the pre caucus polls gave him.

Hunter will always come in last.

Paul is going to show higher when we get to Western states like Nevada, California, Washington, Hawaii, Texas, Colorado, and even in Michigan, Virginia, NH, and Florida to name a few.

Considering how much the media has shredded on him, what little time and poor questions he gets in the debates and that most of the media except for Cafferty and Tucker wants him to go away, anything Paul does over 1% is pretty well.

If Paul did shitty at 10%, then so did McCain and Thompson at 13% as well as Giuliani at 4% and Hunter at 0%

This was Iowa. Even Bill O'Rielly said that the Iowa Caucus is nothing more then a media spectacle and means nothing. I think only two people that won Iowa went on to become the President.

After Super Tuesday we'll have a clearer idea of where everyone truly stands.

edit-added Virgina where he has more delegates then anyone else

He came last except for Giuliani -- who skipped Iowa completely -- and Hunter, who as even you acknowledge has no chance and should have dropped out of the race long ago. He just barely cracked double digits.

I don't see how anyone can categorize this as doing "well", that's all. This was Iowa, after all -- the Children of the Corn are... umm.... special in many ways. I'm sure Paul's belief in creationism, for example, gave him some street cred with that group he won't get from others.

Same with Huckabee -- you won't be seeing Huckabee in the high thirties in California or New York or Florida, for example.

hey yo

all where the expectations are...

I don't expect Paul to win.

I would LOVE to see him get 10% average in rep. primaries.

Stop hating...

Ron Paul will rock you like a hurricane

Paul has done better than everyone expected.:thumbup:

unfortunately he has no chance, and neither does my boy Fred....

Huckabee will win South Carolina the first BIG primary state. (FUCK!) My only hope now is a Brokered Convention, and we find a real conservative to run against Mohammad.
