Re: Estimate Straw poll rusults.
Uhhh, alot of us do not live in Iowa [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] You spend too much time dissecting posts. The fact is that most of the "mainstream" polls have him at 1% and he got 9%. So STFU. I think you got my point. Quit being a nit.

If that's true then maybe it was a good showing. If it isn't true then youve got to be concerned about turnout. Its far from a nit.

Re: Estimate Straw poll rusults.
I don't think Paul is dissapointed at all about his results. Turnout was down overall and I disagree that Paul wouldn't have broken 5% with Giuliani there. You figure he bumps up the total votes to around 20,000 and Paul is still at 6.5% with his total. You have to remember that Paul put together his campaign in Iowa in 1 week and only campaigned there for 1 week. He said he only spent about $250,000 there and I'm sure the rest of them spent double that at least and even more for Romney who spent in the millions. The only ones who should be dissapointed by this result are Tommy Thompson, Duncan Hunter, and possibly Mitt Romney even though he got 1st, he bought more tickets to give away than he actually got votes.

lol, what Ron Paul supporter is going to vote for Guiliani ever? I mean, maybe if Badnarick is there he might steal some votes.

Re: Estimate Straw poll rusults.
Wtf, You have to pay $35 to participate in this poll? And some of them give away tickets? Sounds pretty weird to me.

Obviously Paul's % would go down with Giuliani there because there would have been more total votes. He would have been more around the 6% area instead of 9%.

Re: Estimate Straw poll rusults.
Yep, and Romney I believe spent ~ $2 million in Iowa. What a surprise, he won LOL. Free transportation, free tickets to vote for him, rock-climbing site at his tent(s), free T-shirts, free entertainment, free food, etc. etc. A regular carnival. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] Huh? first nobody said the would. Second, youve got the situation backwards..its what Giuliani supporter would vote for Paul in Giuliani's absence...and my answer to that question is not many, but some, especially as an anti-Mormon vote. j555...I agree...my 5% was a little aggressive. The increased denominator plus those who defaulted to Paul still would probably only bring it down to the high 6s.

A great money making scheme by the people who perpetrate this thing.
