Ron Paul 2nd in Nevada

GO HILLARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If I have 22,649 votes and you came in second with 6,087 votes would you still consider yourself a contender?

How about if you were paying for television ads and I wasn't?

What are you hoping for? You know nothing is gonna happen so you might as well forget about it now.

ron paul can never win

The same thing was said about Reagan. Thanks for the inspiration

I personally love ron paul.. and I am here in nevada.. I wish he had more support.. however Romney is not so bad either.. just different

Don't forget to mention that I am ignored by the mainstream news and only the "serious canidates" make the newspapers.

How many spots to do I have to buy to make up for that?

You should have sold that thompson domain 6 months ago

So the fuck what if Ron Paul won't win. You clearly missed the point of him running.

To see how much money can be wasted?

Speaking of wasting money...... Ron Paul is hardly known in the UK, but ive been watching the process closely from here and I put down $1k at 33/1 on a long shot of Ron Paul becoming the Republican candidate.

I figure if you have to take a long shot bet, its worth the risk on this guy....

Incidently, worth seeing this interesting page on how Ron Paul polled towards the end of last yr:

next stop, the white house!!!!!

Go Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted Ron Paul to do well. Matter of fact, I'd like for him to become president.

The sad truth is he won't win. This country is fucking doomed no matter who wins if it's not Ron Paul

Only 1 other republican campaigned in Nevada and Paul only beat McCain buy 1/2 a percent. Ron Paul is toast.

amazing ... one GFY'er that gets the big picture

Ron Paul won't win. I wish he would.

His support is from the intelligent minority, the %10 of people who don't believe everything they hear and come to their own conclusions and follow the news and politics closely enough to figure out on their own that we're being scammed.

The majority is brainwashed and hopeless, like the future of America.

Everyone I know, from every political affiliation thinks they arrive at their opinions independently and from carefully reasoned independent thinking. Many seem to think that other groups - however categorized - don't. That "they" are the brainwashed "victims of mass-media". "WE are the smart ones", we say. Of course.

I know we all like to associate with groups of people who are more intelligent, better looking and more successful than others but ...

I haven't seen a shred of evidence that Ron Paul supporters are more intelligent than any other politician's group of supporters. I've read the Ron Paul forums over the past few months and seen every kind of bizarre conspiracy theory against Paul imaginable. "Everyone is out to get us". I haven't read anything that would lead me to think, "wow, these people are SO SMART".

I am not in any way saying they are less intelligent. Just where is the evidence that they are from the "intelligent 10% elite"?

The observable qualities in common from Ron Paul supporters are that they are young, independent and anti-establishment.

One might argue - and I won't - that Ron Paul supporters are the kind of people easily attracted to anti-establishment "revolutions". The kind of people who believe they will change the world if they just try hard enough. That "we" are better than "them". That "we" are smarter than "them". That "we" have it all figured out and that "they" don't. "We" will succeed. "They" will fail. Now what so intelligent (top 10%) about all that?

Nearly every Ron Paul supporter I have met thought Paul had a legitimate chance of winning the nomination before the primaries. A very failed test of understanding how things work.

It is possible that Paul's supporters are young intellectuals on average but less wise due to age. Again, I don't know. I haven't seen any demographics that would support that and certainly it is not possible to figure out.

Taking IQ as a proxy for intelligence that would mean Ron Paul supporters come from a group od people with IQ above 120. A bold statement. Convince me. Other than the fact that Ron Paul supporters agree with you and your world view what makes them from the elite 10% intelligent minority? How do you know that?

Ron Paul is going to steer enough small government Republicans away from voting Republican in November to secure a Clinton Whitehouse.

GO RON PAUL!

Serious question, has Dr. Paul even spent any money on TV ads or anything at all?

BTW message board posting and email spam do not count.
