Romney was expected to win and win big. The 2nd and 3rd place finishers got more votes than Romney, though. Ron Paul 2012
What a difference from Iowa. There are major regional factions within the Republican party. If the Democratic Party were so inclined, they could divide and conquer, but they never are.
President Paul ! President Paul ! Loved the chants. Monumental speech last night that could reverberate across the ages, can't say the same for his opponents.
Romney won 5 delegates, Paul won 3. To put it in perspective. I think 2,000+ are needed to be the nominee.
i actually supervised one of the last debates at the capital center for the arts in concord nh, and ron paul was clearly the only one of them who wasnt completely full of shit...and he attacked the fed and the military industrial complex, which was a "whoa" moment, when all the others where just spouting canned rhetoric at one point a bunch of protesters stormed the back door and almost got in, THAT would have been good tv
