Michigan Primary

[Miro]

Well, I can't really say much about the Democrats because of what happened, but I'll include them anyway.

Hillary Clinton 55% ~ 328,151 Votes
Dennis Kucinich 4% ~ 21,708 Votes
Chris Dodd 1% ~ 3,853 Votes
Mike Gravel 0% ~ 2,363 Votes

(40% Uncommitted ~ 236,723 Votes)

^Funny thing is that Dodd already dropped out a few weeks ago,



Republicans.

Mitt Romney 39% ~ 337,847 Votes
John McCain 30% ~ 257,521 Votes
Mike Huckabee 16% ~ 139,699 Votes
Ron Paul 6% ~ 54,434 Votes
Fred Thompson 4% ~ 32,135 Votes
Rudy Giuliani 3% ~ 24,706 Votes
Duncan Hunter 0% ~ 2,823 Votes

(2% Uncommitted ~ 17,971 Votes)



Ron Paul's in 4th,
Look at that.

poor gravel

[MRat]

Oh boy. I wonder how many people actually listen to what people are saying at all.

[W.A.C.]

poor gravel

Gravel should've campaigned in Michigan.

[MRat]

poor gravel

Gravel should've campaigned in Michigan.

In the end it probably wouldn't have helped much anyway. People are only mildly swayed by the campaign at this point and they mostly already chose who they want and thats the end of it to them. Which is sad, but it's also human nature. Stubborness is in us all.

hmm
ron paul may have gotten fourth
but he only got 6% of the votes

I wonder if we made a TBA Ron Paul compaign support cartoon and whored it all over if it would help him at all.

[zomfgbie]

lmao, the collab subject?

[MRat]

lmao, the collab subject?

that topic died, is it was a source of many laffs for me. i think on occasion, when you least expect it, i will SPRING the collab on you in an unrelated thread.

Ayato, you made me one happy dude.

[W.A.C.]

A Ron Paul collab would be a unique idea to help promote Ron Paul but I wouldn't contribute to it because of the fact I suck at flash.

[MRat]

Well it was a joke anyway.

chuck 4 huck lol!!!!!!!!

i\\\'m helping the ron paul campaign by canvassing and telling all my friends about him. i\\\'ve already gotten 3 people to vote for him, and most of my friends that aren\\\'t can\\\'t really argue he\\\'s not the best candidate but they "don\\\'t think he can win" whatever that means

they don\\\'t understand the reason we\\\'re all voting in the primaries is to get DELEGATES but ok

the best way you can help ron paul is to sign up on their website for being a precinct captain. it\\\'s not an official position but what it gives you is access to the addresses and names of everyone in your precinct (could be anywhere from 300 to 1,000 people), a walking map and resources on how to properly canvas. you buy the materials, knock on doors, talk to people and see if you can find any ron paul supporters. if you find people who are interested, take note. if you find supporters, get their phone #\\\'s

you try to avoid arguing with them but if someone sounds remotely interested or says something stupid like \\\'ron paul is a whacked libertarian racist\\\' (oxymoron), there\\\'s no harm in asking why and maybe changing their minds.

two days before the primary, you visit the houses of the people who were interested to check back on them and see if they\\\'re now RP supporters. then you call the existing supporters to show up to the primary (because most people don\\\'t) which gives RP a better chance of winning your precinct.

turnout for primaries is typically really low in non-early states. the more of your supporters you get to show up, the better chances you have of winning

I would totally be up for doing this, if I lived in the states. Even if I couldn't vote, I'd do it. Good on you though, Rtil. At least someone cares.

[Miro]

Heh
I'll do it

my friend and I are at each others necks
he deems Ron Paul like this insane nutcase and hes going around getting people too vote for Kucinich
I can do the same, but with Ron Paul

[Nadroj0711]

one argument i've heard i found on someone's blog by accident when i was looking for ron paul images on google
i saw the title 'why i'm voting for huckabee over ron paul'
that caught my eye of course
anyway, their argument was that while ron paul is consistent, he doesn't pass any legislation and vetos everything

http://millerkevd.wordpress.com/2007/09/27...-over-ron-paul/

[rtil]

well duh of course he does, because all the legislation has to do with SPENDING MONEY. that guy is retarded

so your friend's #1 issues must be domestic because besides that kucinich and paul are almost the same candidate

also if you want to sign up for the ron paul precinct program go here: https://voters.ronpaul2008.com/grassroots/s...1e.it@gmail.com

[Hammi]

I mightve voted for him if i could. But then again, im not an American. Hell, i dont even live there.

what is happening when legislation is being passed? laws?

also, i don't think i need to sign up for the precinct program to support ron paul
i can just talk to my friends about him

[rtil]

yes basically. when legislation is passed it's typically one or several laws. the house specifically works with monetary law.
