GOP Beauty Contests: Alabama, Hawaii, Mississippi, American Samoa - Open Thread

http://hawaiipoliticalinfo.org/node/5158

what happened to the first time voters?? official results are the same as last week?

where are the samoa results? i know from the mainstream news reports that only about 70 voters participated but what's the vote count??

Gosh, I know absolutely nothing about this topic and should look into it, but does anyone know what the heck it takes to set up a network on tv? Like what sorts of hoops an organization needs to jump through, what sorts of licenses, fees, etc.? I imagine it's an incredibly difficult process, but I have no clue. The tv networks and the monopoly they hold is so disheartening, I wish there were a way we could fund and create a major network on tv to bypass the BS altogether(the internet networks are sweet, but I'm just wondering about what it takes to set one up on tv or to spread the word via stations like PBS).

I’d been on the DP everyday for months until the campaign asked if I was willing to coordinate the Big Island of Hawaii as a volunteer. The initial phase consisted of finding strong loyal supporters and strategically positioning them as observers and GOP volunteers at every location to ensure the count would be honest. No location was left unguarded. In the meantime we sign waved, made calls, canvassed neighborhoods, visited farmers markets, stood in high foot traffic areas passing out flyers and spoke with anyone who would listen.

I was helping other supporters place Ron Paul signs and banners outside the Caucus right up until I walked through the door in the role of Observer at 5 PM. Ours was the only presence up and down the street and at the entrance of the school library parking lot.

My district/precinct did win tonight and we took the Big Island. I personally - in one form or another – know everyone that was involved on this island. I also know many of the supporters who went out of their way to show up and vote. They are all amazing people who love and deeply respect Dr. Paul and gave this everything they could. If you were witness to their efforts, you would be very proud of them. Dr. Paul said, "May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in a moment of great crisis, stood up to their politicians, the opinion-makers, and the establishment, and saved their country." I know that I have stood side by side with the men and women Dr. Paul is referring to and I am honored to be in their company.

I'd also like to thank those on the mainland that made ID calls and reminder calls in the final hours leading up to the caucus. You also made a big difference.

some here don't like to hear it but Paul needs the (so called) Christian vote. This feels like a repeat of Huckabee from a few short years ago. As a Christian it makes me ill how the Christians are so brainwashed into not seeing how they are being played by Santorum.
The Christians are a brainwashed muslim hating/war loving/tea party/neo-con bunch that are being led to the slaughter and can't see it through the glass. I know it is about the delegates and the message and Paul is winning on those fronts but I fear the gop will cheat/lie and steal their way into another 4 years of Obama.
