Ron Paul has best finish yet in Minnesota primary with almost 30% of the vote!

I'd say tonight was a good night in Minnesota! Let's keep the momentum going (since we know that Rick Santorum's roll will not last)

So Proud of our County!!

We rocked our county for Paul, even though we didn't have hundreds for Paul, we still made it green!!! Also I know for a fact we have 7 Delegates for Paul! WooHoo! I am so excited!!! :D

bump, yay!

High five!

That Was Awesome!

We did well in Minnesota, and we keep growing by leaps and bounds. Remember, most of the Delegates haven't been chosen yet...what Fox and CNN put on their screens are projections and they aren't even accurate in most cases.

We need to keep at this, long after this campaign is over, to take-back our local elections, and then work on our states. Remember, Ron Paul started the Campaign for Liberty. Unlike Campaign for President, the Campaign for Liberty is endless. It will be our life's work, and then our children's work, and then our grandchildren's work, etc. We keep going, we keep influencing local offices and running for offices ourselves, obeying the Constitution, etc. We are doing fantastic! We really are.

Great Job Minnesotians!!!!!!

Great Job Minnesotians!!!!!! Your next-door-neighbor in WI Thanks you!!!! Great to see RP finally top Mitts!! Well done Patriots!!!

I'm a proud Minnesotan!

I caucused last night with my wife, and Paul won our precinct!
We stayed after and became delegates, and I know our Youth for Ron Paul chapter made a strong showing and also became delegates! I'm very happy with our results!

We were P9, which was 4 20-somethings and the rest aged 40, and 50+ years.
P10 Next to us was full of college Paul supporters, as were several other precincts. The official that was collecting precinct counts said that Ron was doing very well overall, and was also surprised by Santorum's success.
Here was our vote in Duluth Precinct 9 (St. Louis county)
12 people:
5- Ron Paul
4- Romney
2- Santorum
1- Gingrich

DO WE?

do we REALLY know that this instant oatmeal cooked up for santorum isn't going to sit out of the counter for the rest of the entire election season???!?!? i'm totally baffled by anyone choosing mitt hairney or the grinch but a frothing, rabid dog?!?!?!?!?

it's an insult to rabid dogs across the globe.

Still have to crack 1st

Still have to crack 1st though.

I know there are more of us out there. Why aren't they voting?

I went through a lot of

I went through a lot of "Don't talk about Ron Paul for just one day Patrick!" and "It's my birthday can you please not talk about Ron Paul" it was just a funny moment because there was quite a bit of friends over for my friends birthday when I just yelled "welcome to the Ron Paul pre-Caucus meeting!"

URGENT!!!!!!!! PLEASE READ!!!!!! How Ron Paul WINS

This was passed as URGENT by Patriots---to give information on Election 2012......... (Sounds good).

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
Time to face the facts. What the GOP fears most is what America needs most.
Neither Santorum nor Gingrich can win the Nomination for one simple reason. Neither of them can collect enough delegates to win the Nomination.

Neither man can be the nominee because neither one was able to get on enough states' ballots to make a difference. (564 delegates that Newt can't win ), Same with Santorum (over 700 delegates he can't win ). And the media as well as the GOP is praying to god that the American people continue to remain ignorant of this fact for as long as possible while they try to come up with a strategy that will bury Ron Paul before Romney is forced to face him on stage alone and the commentators are no longer able to marginalize Paul by giving all the questions to everyone but him.
Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are the only two candidates that made it on the ballot in every state. Romney will not beat Obama, he's too similar except he will raise taxes on anyone making 40k a year or less in favor of giving himself lower taxes. Independents are going to run to Obama if Romney is the alternative.
It is a two man race between Ron Paul and Romney for the nomination.
It is also a two man race between Ron Paul and Obama for the White House.
It's time Conservatives and people with any functioning brain cells in their heads started backing the only real candidate that will beat Obama and save America. And whether you like it or not, that candidate is, by default, Ron Paul.
The facts can't be twisted to point in any other direction. The Delegates decide who gets the nomination and you can't get delegates if you aren't on the ballots. It doesn't matter how much money gets pumped into your campaign by special interest groups. The facts are the facts.
IMPORTANT FACTS
Fact : Gingrich and Santorum cannot win the nomination no matter how much they get in " popular " votes.
Fact : Romney will fail epically against Obama in a general election.
Fact : Ron Paul will decimate Obama on his Foreign Policy stance alone. Add in his Economic and Defense policies ( All 3 of which were policies Obama ran on in 2008 and abandoned once he got in the White House so no one would be stupid enough to believe he's going to follow them in his second term ) and you have an un-beatable candidate in the general election who the bulk of the American people will vote for when they finally get a chance to see the man unfiltered and unbiased by the media.
America is broke and the average American is tired of hearing about another war on the horizon and seeing more dead soldiers coming home in coffins for no reason...all the while the freedoms they are dying to " protect " are being stripped away from us by our own government...one by one.
Obama has ‘0’ chance of beating Paul and Washington knows it. The GOP knows it. The corporations that own Washington know it too so they instruct the media outlets they own to hide it from you.
But now you know. Gingrich and Santorum are mathematically incapable of winning the Nomination and Romney can't beat Obama in the general election.
Ron Paul is the only choice we have. It's just nice that, for once, he's the RIGHT choice and not just the " lesser of two evils ". Stay in, Don't give in or up. Be diligent to take pictures and record the elections and exit polls if GOP wants it all in private, do what you can to secure the votes and post at watchthevote 2012 on facebook"

Thanks to all you MN

Thanks to all you MN supporters that worked your butts off for this result. It is so appreciated by ME!! Something good to look at and it energized Ron and Carol, too.

Short-lived record: Maine will soon shatter it!

Ron Paul once again break

Ron Paul once again broke that ceiling of 25% that people keep saying that he can't break (I read somewhere that a political science professor said Paul can't break 25% except in Virginia a while ago). Ron Paul ceiling is unlimited, keep fighting patriots! Maine will officially be the starts of Paul's momentum that will last into Arizona and beyond (2 weeks gap for more people to research Paul). Santorum only won tonight because he stole most of the "true conservative" votes that should have gone to Paul.

"The true Patriot will repeal the Patriot Act..." - Ron Paul.

Maybe Minnesota is the only state not rigging elections thus far.

I feel that this is the best

I feel that this is the best result that we could've hoped for short of Dr. Paul winning. The republicans don't want Romney. Santorum has no fundraising ability and he is absolutely lost outside of the midwest. Also, this wasn't a good night for Gingrich either; completely absent from Missouri, a distant fourth in Minnesota and a weak third in Colorado.

Im in MN, we dominated for RP

Im in MN, we dominated for RP in my precinct. AND almost all the delegates are RP....it didnt seem like any of the other candidates wanted to be delegates.

Im very motivated after seeing the movement grow, very pleased to be a Minnesotan tonight, were making progress and growing.

Well done MN...
