11 Aug 2007 08:25 pm AMES -- The announcement of tonight's straw poll results has been delayed due to what one informed source says was a voting machine malfunction. About 4,500 ballots had to be re-run. We are waiting.... http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/08/straw_poll_results_delayed_due.php
Gee didn't see that coming!
Ron Paul 2008
Nope! 4500 votes out of like 15,000.
Fox has Cameron in Ames on TV now.
Cameron just said it could be due to the humidity!
Imagine that.... Justin.TV says there is 1800 people watching online right now

Right, that must be it.

http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/articles/ron-paul-ames-straw-poll.html Ron Paul SIgns Removed by Police at the Ames Straw Poll Supporters arrive at Ames straw poll JENNIFER JACOBS REGISTER STAFF WRITER August 11, 2007 Traffic was rolling smoothly at 8:45 a.m. on the roads in to Ames and Hilton Coliseum. There were no traffic jams. At 9 a.m., the candidate with the loudest presence was Ron Paul, a U.S. representative from Texas. Supporters stood on street corners, enthusiastically waving and holding up signs. At least 10 cars in the parking lot were decorated with giant “Ron Paul” signs. A guy in a minivan broadcasting Paul’s name drove around the Hilton lots honking his horn. Yard signs, mostly for Paul, lined the highway interchange on Interstate Highway 35 at Ames, but a law enforcement officer in a squad car was yanking out the signs just before 9 a.m. Posted: Des Moines Register
What that doesn't make clear is if they just pulled the Ron Paul signs or ALL the signs?

one minute to results

Ron Paul is 5th place. Tancredo 4th Brownbeck 3rd Huckabee 2nd Romney 1st
Could be worse....more people were introduced to him today...more people heard the message today!!!
Ron Paul 2008
Sorry I dont buy it.. what was it that dolt said about the results .. something about honest or what was it? I dont buy that Ron Paul came in behind Tancredo that is very very suspicious.. 14,302 ballots cast 11th place: John Cox (41 votes)
Smells
The campaign war room was upbeat. Already talking about New Hampshire. Romney paid so much $$.
Especially when it was delayed.. voting machine issues?.. Im cynical ..
I cannot buy Romney getting that many votes in comparison to others, just does not fit the equation.
agreed.. but the amt of $ he put into Iowa.. still doesnt change his msg does it?
Considering he didn't buy votes...he didn't spend the money there that others did too....HIS message is what gets people NOT the money!!!!!
Ron Paul 2008
Ron Paul said he spent ($200 per vote) 10 times less than Romney ( who spent $2200 per vote). Ron Paul campaign was in Iowa for one week, the others were there 3 weeks or more.
And Ron Paul said he is staying on message. He doesn't pander.
Romney is a non person in this campaign. Offers nothing except the same old refrain, more aid here there etc etc. For a bland non person to get over 4000 votes does not fit the vote amounts for the others. Zip..Of course, just perhaps the voters in Iowa are not too bright?
Jeff's about to shut down, but he repeated that the campaign's goal was to make the top 5, so they made that goal.
I was absolutely blown away by the enthusaiasm of Dr. Paul's supporters...wait until they get organized on college campuses as classes kick in about a month from now...the younger generation is the real 'X factor' in the next election.
Yeah thats it.. just a bunch of dolts in Iowa :P Someone from kept shouting 'whats wrong with the machines?'.. yeah what WAS wrong with the machines?
Female voters...they LOVE a pretty boy.
robin... The disparity in favor of a bland non person is difficult to believe.
I agree. They've had that energy all day! They are the future, it's looking better.
well.. I agree Lizza .. btw was that you in the chat room on Justin TV? I never could register.. But my issue is b/c of what I know about voting machines I am very skeptical.. the huge difference in the # of votes for the top winners and those after #3 is odd.. considering the voting machine issue that they had to look into.. just a tad suspicious.. but Im a cynic :P
Romney out spent Ron by 10 times. He spent more time in Iowa. The media gives Romney far more time.
Perhaps we should send Paul a few bucks and a note of encouragement?
Absolutely The Romney crowd won't admit how many tickets they bought.
I had in mind, from 4um posters with note of encouragement.
Nice idea, a group action.
Politicians always like the support of any group, large or small. Looks good on the tally sheet.
I just saw this on another forum: 14,302 Total Votes 12,000 people PAID $35 to vote and didn't?
