keep this in mind folks...most of the 85% or so are just brain--
dead voters, or ones who do not know about Ron Paul.... they are not the hard core motivated Ron Paul patriots that we are...WHICH IS WHAT WE NEED AT THE GOP STATE CONVENTION!!!!!
WHICH MEANS ALL YOU RON PAUL SUPPORTERS MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR BUT TO THE STATE CONVENTION...carpool, hitchhike, take a bus , but get there!!!
Right. Show up as a
Right. Show up as a majority, and your first order of business should be to remove and replace the chair. Don't wait for them to play games.
I wish all the anarchists in eugene
Fortune Favors the Bold
could have gotten over their not voting thing, just once
Not just the anarchists,
but those who thought that a vote for Ron Paul would be a "wasted" vote. That was a big problem at the poll I worked in PA.
-Dr. Charles Good Kid-
Still 15%
41,112 votes for Ron Paul
-Dr. Charles Good Kid-
15%?
Is that the best we can do?
Why not 50%?
What is wrong with us as a species? Is 15% our best state so far? That means 85% of these repugnicans think an unprincipled tyrannical war-mongering economical ignoramus is the best choice for the nomination. The other states show even more of a need for a genetic mutation.
I want to withdraw from the human race. We are doomed.

This is misleading
Yes it may be 15% with 76% reporting, but that's not the whole story. Many of the Ron Paul supporters did not submit their ballots until today because we waited until we knew exactly who to write in for some positions. Mostly pcps but also attorney general.
In Oregon, we do things differently. We vote by mail. We also have voter intent. We also count write ins two days after the election. That means all those Ron Paul numbers you see do NOT include the Ron Paul votes that are on ballots that have write in candidates. All those ballots will not be tallied until Thursday. That 15% number will definitely go up. 17% sounds about right but I would not be at all surprised to see 20% or more.
Um
Fortune Favors the Bold
wasn't today the deadline for submission though?
Yes
Today was the deadline for submission. 8PM. That means that all ballots had to be in the election office or library or other designated area by 8PM. The ballots dropped off at libraries would not be counted right away as it takes up to an hour to transport them.
But regardless of when the ballots were recieved, even if it was a week ago, the ballots that contained write ins will not be counted until Thursday. And MANY of those are Ron Paul ballots.
As high as 22% in some Eastern Oregon counties
Nice!!!!
Where is the Republican Exit Poll on CNN ? Dems have
...and what's up with those 4 counties not reporting anything ?
If you look at the Kentucky numbers, it's pretty
evident that McCain has a significant problem. The "presumptive" nominee got 72% of the vote for a nomination that, allegedly, he's already "secured". Take a look at the results. They show, despite McCain's spin doctors' efforts, that he has a very serious problem in GOP-land. Over a fourth made an effort and showed up at the republican primary to register a vote for someone *other* than McCain. That represents a significant percentage of pretty dissatisfied people in the GOP camp.
too true
McCain has had a significant problem since he Lost to Bush in 2000.
Who wants someone that LOST to BUSH ???
Although I wish it could be
Although I wish it could be even higher, I'm sooooo happy to see our numbers in the double digits!!!
Me too
I'm happy to see Oregon in double digits. Woop Woop to Wheeler, Morrow and Josephine County!
1/3 left to go to HIT that 17% !
Paul now at 15% ! ! !
SCHWEEEEEEET
It must be overwhelming numbers
If he gets 14% you know they have to shave off a good portion of the vote and if we still get 14% we must have had quite the showing.

The State of Jefferson
Based on my own personal observation, southern Oregon and northern California have the greatest display of support for Ron Paul. This area is known as the State of Jefferson. Google it.
Portland's east side is a lost cause - too many tattooed lesbian wannabe trendy Obama supporters. The west side (of the Willamette River) is more family oriented. My canvassing experience there yielded very good results.
well
well it looks like the movement will gain close to another 100,000 confirmed supporters today! who knows how many were lost to the machines.
Too bad
that the ballot was mailed.
So machines were out of our hands, maybe that is why we have such a high number!
Maybe it was a good thing!
That's the problem..
only a handful know
Oregon loves Ron Paul! (and so do I!)
Still a lot of votes to be counted!
Regarding our voting practices -- here in Josephine County (southern part of state - Grants Pass area), the votes are counted by machine in the Voting Registrars office by the voting office employees. I called and asked if the public could view the count, was told yes, and THEN was told that there would be ONE democrat and ONE republican allowed to sit in on the count. Was told by the registrar that there was not enough room to allow others in. Since the Registrar's office is in the Court House, I asked why it could not be done in one of the rather large court rooms. I got no answer. Frustrating!
In my little town of less than 3000 people, we had over 60 people at our first meet-up. Seriously, people up here in the great northwest really love Dr. Paul. If a real revolution ever starts, I would not be surprised if the first shot was fired somewhere in Oregon -- bunch of free-thinking, radical, ex-hippie people up here. Not really very amenable to being told what to do and what to think. We have legal assisted suicide, and I see more and more people openly on the street passing a "cigarette" around for all to sample. Lots of rebels up here!

WoooHooooo

Oregon Ballot
On the republican ballot, Ron Paul and Mccain were the only options for presidential canditate. Dropped my ballot off today, felt good to finally vote for Dr. Paul.
When do they count the ballots?
Is to day the deadline for the ballots to ARRIVE, or to be Postmarked? If so, when do they actually start tallying them? And is it done in public or in secret?
They had to be returned by 8
They had to be returned by 8 pm PST. Most people drop them off at a drop-off location, like a mail-box, in front of the elections office, saves a stamp.
