Ron Paul Dominates Straw Poll Double Header

Presidential candidate wins big in Alabama and New Hampshire



August 18, 2007

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Representative Ron Paul handily won two Republican presidential straw polls today.

The first contest, sponsored by the West Alabama Republican Assembly, was held in Tuscaloosa at the University of Alabama. Dr. Paul garnered 216 of 266 votes, or 81 percent. Mitt Romney placed second with 14 votes, or 5 percent.

The second straw vote, sponsored by the Strafford County Republican Party in New Hampshire, was attended by fellow candidates Mike Huckabee and Tom Tancredo. Dr. Paul received 208 of 286 votes, or 73 percent. Mitt Romney finished second with 26 votes, or 9 percent. Huckabee and Tancredo received 20 votes and 8 votes respectively.

"Our campaign is growing by the day and continues to build momentum," said campaign manager Lew Moore. "Today's victories demonstrate Dr. Paul's tremendous grassroots support across the country."

Heya, I was just a bit too young to vote at the last election and I definately want to vote in the next election. What are the chances of Brown calling an election this autumn because of his current lead? I'm going to be away at my final year of Uni and I can't really fly back home and miss classes just to vote so I really hope there's not an election til after I graduate next summer and am living back home where I'm registered on the electoral roll!

For those of you who are unaware, John Edwards is a predator, he and his fellow trial laywers prey on the medical community, feasting on contingency awards of 30% - 40%.

Doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and the entire medical community pay excessive insurance costs to protect themselves from personal injury lawyers. Insurance companies and drug companies are besieged by these cretins, passing on the expense to the consumer.

With jury awards looking like lotto pay-offs, is it any wonder how predators like Edwards, are gazillionaires, as a result?

For those of you who have had needless cesarians, thank John Edwards.

Democrats fight tort reform and don't want you to know that the USA is the ONLY country in the world where you can file a frivolous law suit and lose, not have to compensate the innocent party for their legal expenses and loss of reputation. In other countries, the loser pays- these country's courts aren't filled with frivolous suits- thanks John Edwards!

Is it true Barack Obama is actually a secret president of a middle-eastern country who has plans to take over the US? It's rumored he has millions of middle-eastern "plants" all over the US who plan to take up arms once he's elected.

After the events of September 11, 2001 put the 'war on terror' at the forefront of international politics, it seems the issue remains a favorite fallback for politicians starting out on the long road that they hope will end at the white house.
US candidates who have learnt from the example set by President George W Bush that creating an 'external' enemy is a good way to create sense of paranoia.
do you agree?

AMENDMENT XXII
Passed by Congress March 21, 1947. Ratified February 27, 1951.

Section 1.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

This means, if Hillary has Bill run as her V.P. then resigns, Bill Clinton can be president for a third term.

Maybe that's what she has up her sleeve?

A month ago I would have included McCain and Edwards but they have really dropped off. So now there are 4; do any of the other candidates really matter on either side?

Who do you think won the debate.
and
When the candidates were asked about the power of prayer, Dennis Kucinich said "I've been praying to God that you would ask me a question." In my book he won the funniest candidate prize.

It seems like every time I hear her latley she is talking about something Barack Obama said or defending herself in some way. I feel as though she feels threatened by him, almost like he is her only real competition.

Okay, here's the deal.
I thought both primaries and caucuses were to select the 'delegates', who determine the candidates for each party.
I thought primaries and the caucuses were 2 different ways of selecting the delegates within a party. Is this right?
because I read this thing somewhere else, and they said that the caucuses are for the party to 'nominate' candidates and the primaries are to get the delegates....

I'm so confused right now.

basically, I would appreciate it if somebody thoroughly explained the difference between the primaries and the caucuses

THANKS!!!

This is my first year to be able to vote and I have no idea if I am a republican or a deocrat. I am for gay marriage and I'm against abortion and stem cell research. So am I a democrat or a republican?

i hate bush as much as the next person, but hillary keeps talking like every problem in the world is bush's fault, probablly just to get more votes from bush haters(since most people are). For example she keeps saying this is "george bush's war" when she voted to go into iraq in the first place and continues to nothing about it except for voting to fund it. Whenever she's critisized for anything she blames bush whether it's for healthcare or high gas prices or whatever. Don't democrats realize how arrogant she is? she's like a liberal george bush. why are so many people supporting someone whos just going to give us the runaround for 8 more years.
