Ron Paul 2008

So Paul is in 2nd in Nevada but looking at Foxnews.com one would think McCain was...

Other than Fox News being partisan and skewing data I think this was a surprise to most people.

98% in the finally put Paul on top of McCain. Paul won by a couple hundred votes.

Ron Paul campaigned in Nevada, the only other person who did was Romney who beat him by a landslide. But this is a good result for the Paul campaign.

Paul barely campaigned there.

I think you've said that after every primary now. Where exactly has he campaigned a lot? Where is he making his stand?

What the hell is he doing with all that money if not campaigning in the state about to have it's primary?

He campaigned pretty hard in NH. Where he had horrible turnout.


I also think he campaigned somewhat hard in SC.


But to answer your question, he's not really campaigning anywhere hard, which is why he won't be winning the nomination.

His campaign sucks.

Which was my concern months ago, that he just didn't have the organization needed to compete

Yes, he won second in Nevada...not sure how that counts for anything with such a landslide...but yes, second. I am glad though the Ron Paul people are finally seeing that it was virtually impossible for him to win a primary, let alone the nomination.

I think think he will win at least one primary, which is what I've said all along.

What a great way to say the people who bothered to vote did not vote for him.

He's supposed to being a higher percentage of supporters out to the polls. I highly doubt he had a horrible turnout. I think it's more likely he just doesn't have the support.

Agree, there was record turnout in both Iowa and NH, because many more people are interested this year.
