Ron Paul takes Florida
 

As I recall it was suggested a couple weeks ago that 5th is as good as 1st for him, so congrats, looks like he has another victory under his belt.

To be fair Ron Paul gets most of his support from Independents who were not allowed to vote in the Florida Primary and thus he has spent his time campaigning in the super Tuesday states.

The real shots should be at Rudy who spent all his time and money in FL and still came a very very distant 3rd and will leave the election process with 1 total delegate or 3 less than Ron Paul has currently.

LOL I was watching CNN about 20 minutes ago and thought the same thing.

Haven't seen one bit of campaigning for him here in SoCal.

Yeah he bet the farm on Florida and underestimated the momentum that the previous primaries could bring the other candidates. He has basically been out of the discussion for almost a full month, never a good idea.

The results haven't come in from the Panhandle( the polls there close 1 hour later than the rest of the state ) which is very conservative. So Huckabbe could pass Rudy.

:thumbsup

He would win every time if the evil media empire monopoly would give the 'round the clock, 24/7 nonstop coverage a top tier fringe candidate like Dr. Paul truly deserves.

Honest question Baddog, why do you dislike the guy so much?

Is it his politics, or the fervor of his supporters?

Yeeeeeess.

Independents in California can only vote for Democrats in the Super Tuesday primary... So much for Ron Paul doing anything in Cali...

And baddog, why do you have such a hard-on for Ron Paul? It's like you go out of your way to bash him... I don't get it...

Baddog is just an annoying old fart. Look at his comments in any thread. He assumes because he is an 80 year old gay biker he knows how the entire world works, and no one else does. Look at his comments on Obama for example, he just flat out assumes stupid positions, which is most likely why in all his years he has never amounted to too much. And no, I am not a Ron Paul fanboy.

Backing a Loser, well it certainly makes sense doesn't it?

McCain ftw

looking to obtain the " bro status " ....

I do not dis-like him. I am sure he would be a great grand-father to have.

His GFY supporters are so much fun though. They make politics fun again.

Rudy dropping out of the race. Ron Paul finishes with more delegates than Rudy or Fred and outlasts them both. Not bad if you ask me.

Oh, I am sorry. I did not know this was his goal.

If I told you before the primaries that Ron Paul would outlast and have more delegates than Fred or Rudy what would have said?

big deal

I would have thought he would be Fred, but no chance he would beat Rudy. 6 months ago I thought Rudy would be the next president. Things change fast in politics.

WTF is your deal? You know you would have said I was just some ron paul nutjob who didn't have a clue what I was tlaking about. just accept your pwnage.

No, I never thought Rudy or Fred stood a chance, just like I never thought Clinton or Obama will result in a win for the Democrats.

Then WHO exactly did you think was going to win? Kucinich?

Win what?

Ron Paul 2012

"No, I never thought Rudy or Fred stood a chance, just like I never thought Clinton or Obama will result in a win for the Democrats."

Ok SOMEBODY has to win an election. There has to be a WINNER. You have told me who you thought WOULD NOT win. So I am asking you who you thought WOULD win.

Ok I think he might be dead by then. He's like 87 now.

so who do you think gets Paul's supporters

if he withdraws

He won't but they'll most likely go to McCain. Other than Mass and Utah I'm not sure what else Romney can win. Maybe some of the other NE states. This looks like McCain's baby now.

You obviously have comprehension issues when you get angry.

Let me type slower.

I never thought Fred, Rudy or Ron could win the Republican nomination.

I do not think Clinton or Obama can win the Presidency. One of them probably will win the Democratic nomination. I would rather see Edwards.

I think McCain will will the Republican nod, and he will win the Presidency if my prediction (above) comes true.

interesting...

(CNN) -- Florida has often played an over-sized role in presidential politics -- for proof you need not look further than the 2000 presidential race.
