TF Exit Poll... Is TF like the rest of the state?

[Joe]

Here it is... put in how you voted....

[PPGMD]

I voted Thompson. But I voted early so I wouldn't have been counted in an exit poll either.

[TampaDude]

One more for Ron Paul...he's probably not going to win Florida, but I'm voting my conscience.

Hopefully, the GOP will nominate someone who I can vote for in November without having to puke afterwards.

[dan]

voting after work. really undecided still. almost wanting to vote for RP or thompson just to skew the #s and see how high we can get their percentages, but i don't know if i want to waste my vote, and at least give the best one a chance in case it's close.

already know what i'm voting on amend 1 though lol. at least that one was fairly black and white, as confusing as it was.

[Billy]

Voted before heading into work just now, but only on the amendment.

[BigBadBuick]

I'll be casting my fuck you vote on the way home.

[billybongthorton]

i voted guiliani

[oh1coupe]

:bird:

[dink921]

RP FTW .. i know he wont get the nomination but eh, thats who im backin'

[Elohim]

Ron Paul, Yes on the tax exemption, Yes on Pinellas County School Continuation... etc.

[Kryptix]

No on tax exemption.

[Beth]

Obama, No on the Tax, Yes on the School cont. in Pinellas.

[Iroc Joe]

If I could vote now, I would vote Paul. No on the tax exemption.

[BERT-O]

:corn:

[Alli]

I'm torn. I think no matter who I vote today, I will be unhappy with my decision

[Fatalia]

Edwards, No on tax, yes on school.

[Josh]

voted this morning - go RP!

[BUDO]

+1 for paul.

[whitebread]

i almost voted for ron paul because he is my actual preference, but i ended up voting strategically. since its so close between romney and mccain, and i really don't like romney and think mccain would have a better chance of winning the general, i gave mccain my vote. in my opinion, hes probably the best of the big-government crowd, which is everybody else running, from both parties.

[Alli]

Ok I voted Romney and No on exemption. I didn't get a PC school question since my current address is in Leon County

[TampaDude]

My wife and I both voted...we kind of canceled each other out, though...

I voted for Ron Paul and NO on 1.

She voted for Rudy Giuliani and YES on 1.

:D

[jabtay]

Romney

[jabtay]

Ok...who the hell voted hillary??? come on fess up!

[Joe]

Ok...who the hell voted hillary??? come on fess up

I wonder if they would even admit it...

[BUDO]

Ok...who the hell voted hillary??? come on fess up

It is an open poll, why don't you just look???

[BUDO]

Here it is... put in how you voted....

I guess TF is not like the rest of the state considering the fact that everyone on TV considers RP to be a non-issue and our "untampered" poll tells a different story.

[PPGMD]

The people that go out and vote in significant numbers barely know how to get on the internet, let alone participate in a group where the median age is likely in the low 20's. Particularly in Florida, God's Waiting Room.

Anyone remember Howard Dean?

Scary huh!? BYAAAAAHHHH!

[ms. kat]

I'm an indie, so I could only vote on the amendment, NO on 1.

If I had been able to vote, I would have voted Obama.

[jabtay]

Because, they should fess up

[BUDO]

Stop trying to add insult to injury. :lol:

Yeah, when the final election rolls around most of these stoner fucks who are swinging on Ron Paul's nuts will be the ones in the political threads who meekly admit they didn't even go out to vote - or they'll just not say anything and try to hide it. Either way, their voices don't matter until their turnout at the polls increase.

[PPGMD]

Oh for those intrested you can check the current results for the state here:

[jabtay]

Haha Thompson is beating RP and is not even in the race :lol:

[BUDO]

Haha Thompson is beating RP and is not even in the race :lol:

How did you deduce this?

Ron Paul
(REP) 14,185 3.2%

Fred Thompson
(REP) 5,667 1.3%

[PPGMD]

At the time he posted it, it was true but at that time they both had around 500 votes.

[jabtay]

It goes to show that RP is a pure internet sensation, and not a polling sensation.

[oh1coupe]

..if mccain ends up being the republican nominee.........fuuuuckk.......cnn just called it. conservatism ftw in 2012. 2008 is blown.

[PPGMD]

There is still Super Tuesday, Florida is only worth 57 delegates, it just evens it up.

[Tumbles]

It sucks I was in such a rush between classes and work I didn't get a chance to vote :( If I would have remembered I would have gotten up earlier. But I would have voted for Ron Paul even tho my vote doesnt matter now

[Silvia_San]

Edwards, No on tax, yes on school.

+1

[Silvia_San]

i'd rather vote for a mutated ron paul/billary baby than guliani lol........although i despise huckabee at a close second. i have to say though i'm really un-impressed with the "selection" i mean all politicians are lying thieves, i hate this lesser of two evils shit.

[oh1coupe]

lol at mccains speach w/ crist in the background with the WTF look on his face.

[whitebread]

i thought it was pretty good, particularly this part:

"we believe government should do only those things we cannot do individually. to tax us no more than necessary and spend no more than necessary. and then get out of the way of the most industrious, ingenious, and optimistic people in the history of the world, so that they can build an even greater country than the one they inherited."

["?"]

ok I'll fess up, I voted Hillary. I'm registered Dem and do not want any other of the candidates.

you know what, i completely agree with those words. I don't trust the man who's saying them though. RP defiantly swayed the platforms of his running mates imo....hucabee come lately with his abolish the irs/fair tax , and several other things that have come up since the begining that i cant recall right now..and now mccain has to try to win conservatives over...hes going to start trying to sound conservative.

[Joe]

Looks like TF is not a "good" yard stick for the rest of florida...

The dems in Florida are obviously overwhelmingly socialist. Sad to say the least...

BTW, the people that voted Hillary are :

"?", BERT-O, Kryptix, Topless T/A

This is a public poll.

i think ron paul had an influence on the contest too. thats why i have contributed to his campaign several times. i never thought he would win, i just wanted his message to reach as wide an audience as possible and make the other candidates respond to the ideals of liberty.

as far as mccain goes, i believe that he is being genuine when he says that. unfortunately, i think he puts a lot more things into the "can't be done individually" category than i would like.

I left work late, I was high. I almost wrecked on the way to the poll, got pulled over and almost got arrested for possession. By the time the cop let me go the polls were closed.

You do realize that the way you carry on against Paul and anyone that supports him is just as, if not more so, fanatical than the actions of his supporters. Let it go, your Washington insider, career politician fuckfest is right around the corner.

[dan]

i voted for ron paul because i really couldnt make up my mind. i knew he would get like 5%, but i was really torn on the other 2 choices that i didn't know enough to make a good choice on one of them and feel good about it. romney seems legit at times, but there's something about him that seems evil. i took my father's stance against mitt early on because he came out in the very beginning and started the hating on hillary bandwagon, and i'm against the smearing that early on. he seemed to be going on and on about her and not what he was actually about. left a bad impression.

mccain while seemingly old and decrepit looking, has some decent poise. i was kinda miffed that crist was all over him all day. people here are attaching to crist like the second coming of christ it seems, and anything crist is for, the lemming people of FL are for (point proven with mccain and amendment 1).

i voted no on 1, though i knew that it would pass, merely because most people think short term and are all about getting money back...and the fact crist plastered his ads all over tv about it, while i think i saw ONE anti-amend.1 ad... (yet i read in the paper this morning that $250 savings will likely be eaten away at by local govt taxes and stuff)

all in all the results are what i expected. hopefully guliani is ready to throw in the towel, only a landslide victory next week will give him a snowballs chance in hell.

i had a feeling clinton would have won too, i think while none of them really did shit in florida, she was the only one who really visited or spent any time here.

i should have voted thompson but since he already pulled out, i knew that would have not made sense. im waiting to see if someone VPs thompson, that could be a selling point to me.

Yeah? So?

I like how TF won w/ Ron Paul vs the state, :lol:

Ding-dongs!!!

:lol: I carry on for the sole reason taht they're absolutely hilarious and absolutely insane with the statements they have made. Even whitebread, who at least has HALF a brain, is touting how he affected the platform of people and all that. Err, did he affect their platforms while he was being laughed out of debates, or when people were stratching their head (and note, they still are) going, "Ron Paul, who?"

I mean c'mon. Its hilarity. I get the same joy out of railing these people as you do from repoing a car.

[whitebread]

well, you're right that he was often mocked in debates and even today may not be all that widely known.

bill clinton delcared that the era of big government was over and then bush came into office and oversaw the biggest expansion of government in decades. i think the republican candidates would have been happy to talk about national security and such and not address that they had become the party of big government.

i saw ron paul mocked over his foreign policy. i didn't see him being mocked for advocating small government. i think it would be politically damaging for the other candidates to state that they are against small government and fiscal conservatism, because a strong segment of the party still believes in that. but if ron paul wasn't there and nobody was passionately advocating for small government, they could all talk about expanding government without looking the worse for it relative to the other candidates. if you look at what ron paul was saying on domestic issues, it wasn't far off from what reagan and goldwater, the icons of the modern republican party, said. its hard for the other candidates to turn their backs on that once it has been brought up. and ron paul was the one who brought it up.

so thats my reasoning behind thinking that ron paul had an impact on the contest.

[Sumthin Nuu]

Little late finally gettin around to this thread but anyhow, I voted for Paul and yes on the Amendment, for reasons I've previously touched on in some FFA threads.

Since it increasingly tends to be trending towards McCain and Clinton being the nominees, the irony of the American voting populace embracing "change", yet voting for more of the same, is always good for a smile when considering what the discussion might be 4 years from now, at the next election.
