Theres a reason Ron Paul has received more money from people in the military and retired veterans than any other candidate.

I don't know, the media is pounding Ron Paul hard for not giving up after the caucus. I forget the exact language they used.

Though if this caucus was proof of anything, it's that the media does NOT control who people vote for. I think everyone's taken by surprise at the results.

Skel... are you serious? lol maybe on the democratic side but who didnt expect huckabee to win in iowa?

Drew1200 · 01-05-2008, 03:50 PM

I didn't. In terms of $$$ and the size/depth of his campaign organization Huckabee is at the shallow end of the pool. Luckily Iowa's a pretty small pool I guess.

Will be interesting to see if the evangelicals keep voting for him...

oh and that solider is pretty dead-on... my friends that have or are serving right now all kind of feel the same way, and these guys for the most part are pretty conservative.

Which drives me nuts that so much 'worth' is being staked in a small rural state, much less a sampling of such a small number of eligible voters there. Is it too early for me to start griping about the system, or should I wait until super tuesday?

But yeah, enough thread hijacking from me.
