Results of first two NH Towns has Ron Paul at 17% in 3rd Place
Submitted by Veterans Abroad on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 04:31These are actual results from two towns of about 58 people:
McCain 43%
Huckabee 22%
Paul 17%
Romney 13%
Giuliani 4%
Obama is crushing Clinton with 70% of the Dem vote compared to Clinton and Edwards tied at 13%
This included Dixon's Notch and Harts Location near the Canadian border.
These people are insane to think that McCain is anything he says he is regarding stopping earmarks and pork.

Here is the first place I read it, and used this article to do the math on my percentage post...

stomped
Rudy and Hillary are going up in flames it's just to funny for words!!!
Dr. PAUL.......17.4%
McCain..........43.5%
Huckabee......21.8%
Dr. PAUL.......17.4%
Romney........ 13.0%
Giuliani............4.3%
Thomson............0%
Hunter................0%
With 46 Total votes so far....
We had 11 Republicans and gained 12 undeclared voters = 23 total Republican votes so far...
And, with 10 Democrats, they captured 13 undeclared voters = 23 total Democrat votes so far...

where are you getting this
where are you getting this information
Use technorati.com to get fresh information
I always use www.technorati.com and type in Ron Paul to get the latest posted material.
This small sample, if it does show any trend, say the following to me:
1) RP seems to have deliberately declined to hit McCain where it counted: Senate voting record (pork, Internet regulation, etc). As I have said on other posts, RP may have wanted McCain to suck votes away from the other candidates like Giuliani and Thompson and Romney. Leaving McCain popular in NH was bad for the other candidates who were too stupid to know how to attack McCain properly themselves.
McCain's big win could leave Giuliani and Thompson gasping for air in the single digits by the end of the day. RP's biggest threat really is Giuliani in the big states like California and New York.
So, letting McCain suck the air out of Giuliani's campaign in NH would have been an interesting tactical maneuver. It is not as if McCain has a chance in the south, midwest or west.
2) Romney is in trouble! Romney cannot be too pleased at getting 3 votes out of the first 23 cast for Republicans. Huckabee beat Romney in Iowa and, if Huckabee beats Romney again in NH, that would be very very bad for Romney's overall chances.
3) Huckabee is surging? I do not like this "trend". With the prospect that Ron Paul might beat Romney in NH, comes the prospect that Huckleberry might surge even more? Still...I find Huckabee a lot less arrogant and mean than Romney. I mind it less.
4) Thompson and Giuliani will not beat RP today in NH. It appears that the only threat is that Huckabee will surge to challenge Romney for 2nd place and RP will get 4th place even with a decent showing of above 12% (even Luntz believes RP will get about 12% in NH).
Perhaps your factoring in
Perhaps your factoring in the Dems in your assessment, but I am pretty sure that between Republicans, Ron Paul is 3rd with 17%.
McCain - 43.4% (10 votes)
Huckabee - 21.7% (5 votes)
Paul - 17.4% (4 votes)
Romney - 13% (3 votes)
Giuliani - 4.3% (1 vote)
Extremism in the defense of Liberty is no vice.
As I know, Paul didn't
As I know, Paul didn't receive any votes in Dixon, so 14% isn't that bad. This is only a very small amount of voters. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
not sure about those figures
Earlier counts had Paul at 17.4 percent, check the forums...no big deal, but these figure are much different
