Huckabee and Obama take it...

I wish I were talented enough to repeat the same statement three times.

Repetition is the biggest form of mind control.

Repeat.

Repeat.

That's why Time consumes so much of our mind.

You know like, 1 am, 1 pm. 1st of the month, 12 month. Year in, year out..

Is it odd that today on the news service here in Australia they had a run down of the candidates running - I had heard of a few of them already purely from being on these boards, but to actually hear it on our news service made me think just how much American politics dominates the entire world. I wouldn't have even known there was an election in Pakistan if it weren't for the assasination, let alone know the names of the candidates who were running for nomination to have a crack at the presidency -

Just an interesting thought

The 'election' in Pakistan has been getting pretty major coverage in the UK for a while now... I'd have thought it was a pretty major event, although I suppose we do have a lot of people of Pakistan origin so it is perhaps more relevant than to Australia...

But yes, American politics does get pretty big coverage. Whoever wins is gonna have their finger over a huge red button, so I guess we all want to know who it will be! Plus Bush is certainly a worldwide figure now, so the election of his successor is bound to make the news.

fwiw, i think the news outlets here were talking about the election in pakistan before the bhutto assination...but probably from a war on terror perspective.

Lets not forget Pat Robertson won Iowa in 1988.

Actually you are incorrect. Robert Dole had 37.4% to Pat Robertson's 24.6% in the 1988 Republican Caucus.

I don't think Ron Paul did bad at all. 10% in a caucus isn't bad at all, especially when he came in just 4% behind the third place finisher. I'm not disappointed.

[Ham]

We never expected to win the caucus. I xpected 3rd which we were very close to.

We have gone a long ways from 1%. We're getting there.

Paul came in first with independent republicans with 29%.

We will gain speed.

[DaGip]

Sorry Ron...

Ron beat Giulliani...surprising that Paul got 10%! I figure he will do a bit better in New Hampshire, but the Republican mind frame is owned by the NeoCons...so I don't expect RonPaul to get the nomination.

I am preparing to vote for Obama, but I will consider whomever RonPaul endorses.

Congrats to Obama and Huckabee!

[got tonkaed]

in theory of paul was going to do well in an early state, it would be new hampshire...its too bad romney will probably get a lot of that vote. or at least too bad for paul.

Especially considering 9u11iani's low, low vote.

I was thrown back by the low vote on Giullani...Ron Paul kicked his ass!

[AndyDufresne]

What you've got to realize about Giuliani and his low vote total..was that he skipped campaigning in Iowa. And he isn't doing it in New Hampshire either. Or South Carolina. Or Nevada. He's going straight to Florida. Different strategy. I don't think it will work. But that's the reason for low voter turn-out for him.

Andy beat me to the explanation.

At least I disagree. I think it will work for Giuliani. I'm certainly hoping he wins the nomination – that way Republicans have no chance...

Exactly!

[Serbia]

I just wanted to point out that Romney won in Wyoming. CNN Story And best I can tell, there aren't many Americans in Wyoming, because Paul got a 0%. Even though he did campaign in the state. FoxNews Story

The name or the campaign turnout?

Huckabee, how is it possible to end up with a protectionist who thinks he can make America self sufficient...also I sort of exageratd the comment to wheedle out Huckabee supproers into debate.

Who are you talking to?

Huckabee, how is it physically possibleto end up with a protectionist who thinks he can make America self sufficient.

Perhaps you could do it without swearing. I know others here don't care about that, but I thought you did.

Ok, this seems fair enough, I didn't realise you would consider this swearing. I wanted to add emphasis to the statement in a disparaging and colloquial way, the aim ofmy post being more than anything to draw into debate with Huckabe-ists.
