He flew to Alaska

and came in 3rd there.

Nothing was spent on ads here either

Submitted by ZekethePlumber on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 22:21.

You can't win if you don't try. The campaign simply did not try here. Nothing wrong with playing smart, but don't expect a minority grassroots effort to beat those who spend campaign money here either.

Look at Ron Pauls???

Submitted by DZdownUnder on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 22:19.

Look at Dr Pauls Profile, Then scroll down and look at the Virgin Island results . . . And Surprise Surprise, Oh Ummm . . We are still "Processing Results" We are not quite sure how to fudge it yet.

But I suppose you're right, this photo might actually be good for television victims in the south.

Look at the counts.

Same all over...

...with the exception of SC and OH, every State has been WAY down in turnout. Let's hope all the sensible people are too busy stockpiling food, gold, and ammunition to bother voting...

For spending all day at the polls in Alabama, I'm disappointed that we got so little.

But we fight on for the cause of liberty!

Lets Hope For

Hawaii:

This is working right according to RP's Plan.

Looks like Romney will get 3d in both southern states. Lets hope it works this way.

The longer they keep splitting this thing up the better for us as long as we have the stealth delegates.

Lets Hope we do strong in Hawaii and then Listen to the Josh Trolly Show again.

You are witnessing history. The GOP is self Destructing before your eyes

Alabama and Mississippi

Submitted by Caardvaark on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 21:41.

Are number 49 and 50 when it comes to education, literacy and test scores. What do you expect?

Wait a minute...

Submitted by Dr. J on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 21:58.

My wife and I are both life-long Mississippians, and we both have earned Ph.D's. We voted for Dr. Paul and also convinced most of our friends and family to vote for the good doctor. We have also donated thousands of dollars to his campaign and spent countless hours spreading the message of liberty around here. These two "dumb, uneducated" Mississippians even plan to become delegates at our county convention in April.

While it is true that I am ashamed of my fellow Mississippians for not supporting Dr. Paul, I believe that this ignorance is pervasive across our country. Otherwise, Dr. Paul wouldn't be last in so many states.

Also, remember that Dr. Paul spent absolutely NO time and money here in Mississippi. As I paraded around town today with my Ron Paul t-shirt, everyone said, "Why didn't he come to Mississippi?" Just one visit to our state might could have garnered more recognition and support for him.

Maybe we should all (Ron Paul supporters) just move to the Virgin Islands. :)

Remnant

Submitted by Ronolian on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 23:14.

The remnant is strong in every state but not strong enough to influence 51% of the electorate away from the establishment, yet.

"Maybe we should all just move to the Virgin Islands."

First sensible thing I've heard all day. : )

There are plenty of dumb ppl on here

Submitted by Thisissupposedt... on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 22:12.

Talking about how old people can't be convinced, women are too emotional, southerners don't go outside... I ALWAYS assume they're from the other campaigns

Thank you for disproving the myth

Submitted by ralph hornsby on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 21:56.

Kinky Friedman used to say about Texas' spot in the test scores in our education system, "Thank God for Mississippi."

Samoa

Submitted by KomradKthulu on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 21:42.

Don't worry guys, Samoa can turn this whole thing around...

But, no, really, I'm from SC and most people here don't care enough to do research other than watch FOX News. What does that say about AL and MS? And for not spending a single penny in the states, this isn't that bad.

He did even worse last election. The west will be better.

Tonight on the Jason Lewis Show, I was proud to be a long time RP supporter after hearing all of you call in and go ape &$(# after Jason gave his monologe on the Federal Reserve and monetary policy. Stand your ground and let them know, No concessions, no cabinet possision(s), THEN THE GOP JUST SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT!

Not like I gave us much of a chance in the deep South anyway. There's a lot of good people down there, and I love the South, but too many people have been sucked into neocon paranoia and religious zealotry.

Romney's in 3rd in both MS and AL. We need him to lose both States.

Are the southern states tonight winner take all?

Alabama is not

Submitted by ZekethePlumber on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 21:24.

It's proportional. Hence, no 3rd place, no delegates.
