Last count was 67 total difference, and these are the counties that Paul did not poll well in that have been counted.

Don't think for a second that there is a co-incidence between young voters supporting Obama over Hillary in large #'s. Yes, young liberals WOULD love to see history made AND are easy sheep for words like 'hope' and change. Don't think for a second he/his camp doesn't know this. He's also YOUNG.

Libs want a YOUNG MAN as pres just as conservatives want a white christian MAN to win. That's how it always is.

CNN is projecting McCain winning NH and Obama as actually black. Sorry, Paulie.

[metman]

So Romney is toast tonight in NH and Hillary has a lead 40 - 35% with 13% reporting.

Rudy's still counting on Florida. If he's still running neck and neck with Paul then the alarm bells will go off. Still, I'm sure this isn't the way Guiliani's team saw this going off 3-4 months ago.

It'll be a while before the Republican nomination will be decided I think.

But he was BORN in SC.

Edwards was born on June 10, 1953 to Wallace Reid Edwards and Catharine Juanita "Bobbie" Wade in Seneca, South Carolina. The family moved several times during Edwards' childhood, eventually settling in Robbins, North Carolina

Not sure if that counts for much, but NC and SC are pretty close to one another anywho

Paul getting 18,000 votes while barely touching the 23 million dollars he raised recently. Sets him up good for an Independant run with an expensive campain. Where he would actually be allowed to get exposure to media.

Considering most thought he would be lucky to get 1% of the vote anywhere when he announced he was running, not a half bad night for him.

[Joe McDonald]

I am now debating on voting for Rudy or Johnny Mac on Feb. 5.

I may go for Mac, since he's more electable IMO.

It's either that or write in Jeb.

The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars. We must have new leadership in the White House to ensure this never happens again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for a new exciting vision for America. The herald for a new Era has arrived...

Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft of our young men and women.

We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress, as required by the Constitution.

Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations.

Too often we give foreign aid and intervene on behalf of governments that are despised. Then, we become despised. Too often we have supported those who turn on us, like the Kosovars who aid Islamic terrorists, or the Afghan jihadists themselves, and their friend Osama bin Laden.[!!!] We armed and trained them, and now we’re paying the price.

America will have it's cake...

At the same time, we must not isolate ourselves. The generosity of the American people has been felt around the globe. Many have thanked God for it, in many languages. Let us have a strong America, conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.

and eat it too."

***

A couple of thoughts off the top of my head...

1. First off who the f*ck is calling for a Draft, Mr. Paul? Chuck F*cking Rangel that's who.

2. Again with the we financed financed bin Laden canard. Someone's been watching too much Bill Maher.

3. Iraq is more dangerous..blah blah blah. Yet another guy studiously avoiding any news of the undeniable success of the surge. It's true it's too bad he was left out of the debates. The Democratic debates. They hadn't gotten word there either.

Oy vey greg. I generally like you man, but your spin is killing me here.

If he runs as an independent I wonder which party he'll be siphoning off votes from?
