Default Re: Ron Paul\'s Straw Poll Showing

[ QUOTE ]
The campaigns purchased 25000 tickets for people to attend and less than 15000 voted. Romney's campaign is known to have purchased at least 5000 tickets and it is rumored they may have bought as many as 10000. Needless to say they were not happy to receive less than 5000 votes. There were 200-300 buses of people brought in from around the state. Ron Paul's campaign purchased 500 tickets and did not bus people in.

They did. Unfortunately for the principles involved, it was on Romney's buses.

Well, the article you've cited clearly states that the people promoting the idea of hitching a ride on Romney's buses were acting independantly from the campaign.

I guess if you can't afford to get to a polling place the "principled" thing to do is not vote and let the people with the money make the decisions for you. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
