GOP Primary (tax, military, office)

[GregW]

A lot of people turned out for this primary. That was good even if your candidate didn't win.

As a Democrat I voted for President Obama. I was surprised by the number of opponents. I was more surprised that I did not recognize any names.

For those who are interested, boston.com has a great map of the primary results by town. Ron Paul carried quite a few towns, mostly in the western half of the state, from the Monadnock Region all the way up to the Great North Woods. Huntsman won a majority in a handful of towns within the same swath as well. Paul earned a majority of votes from those making less than $50,000 a year, while Romney was first among those making more than $50,000.

Where is this information? How would anyone know how much money a vote makes when they are voting?

Prolly done by average household incomes of towns.

i'll just leave this here...

The story is from The Business insider.
Ron Paul May Have Secretly Won The Iowa Caucuses

It is titled Ron Paul may have secretly won Iowa.


Paul supporters became convention delegates. Delegates are free to vote for who ever they want.
So the strategy is to try to have the majority of delegates at the convention then vote Paul as nominee.

Our voting process is a joke. There is fraud all over the place.

It's based on exit polling data. I saw the breakdown on CNN, but the same data is available from a variety of sources.

I'm simply amazed that even a single Republican anyplace voted for Romney. These days the GOP isnt even pretending to be conservative.

Hard to know if this is sarcasm... Santorum is in no way representative of GOP ideas with fanatical neoconservatism and social conservatism. Seems like big government military-industrial complex spending and government intervention in everyone's personal lives.
