Ron Paul Campaign Statement on Beating Giuliani and Thompson... Again
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA - Kent Snyder, chairman of the Ron Paul 2008 Republican presidential campaign issued the following statement in response to the results of the Michigan primary:
"After beating Rudy Giuliani in Iowa, and Fred Thompson in New Hampshire, Ron Paul has now bested both 'national frontrunners' in Michigan, and in the three races held thus far Paul has received over 30,000 votes more than either of the candidates.
"If I had predicted that result when this campaign started almost twelve months ago, I would have been laughed out of the room by the so-called experts. Currently there is no frontrunner and this race is wide open.
"In Michigan, Dr. Paul's message resonated with voters because he discusses issues that nobody else will even acknowledge. Dr. Paul is the foremost expert on monetary policy, and he truly understands the crunch that Americans are feeling due to high taxes and high inflation that drives up gas prices and mortgage payments."
Below are the combined vote totals for Iowa, New Hampshire and Michigan:
Romney - 443,139 Total Votes
McCain - 361,546 Total Votes
Huckabee - 207,308 Total Votes
Paul - 84,554 Total Votes
Giuliani - 50,925 Total Votes
Thompson - 49,198 Total Votes
Hunter - 4,567 Total Votes

I understand that votes, but as I have pointed out to my friends on the other side of the aisle (democrats). Stop talking about wins in terms of votes. The nomination is won by delegates received, not votes casts. For example. Everyone is talking about Hillary's latest "wins", but look at the amount of delegates she and Obama received in both New Hampshire and nevada. It is really a tie. Votes are not relevant because of the way or system (party nomination) is rigged. I mean set up. I think it may be time for an article on delegates, superdelegates and how the system actually works (or doesnt).
I had heard this as well and found it interesting. The Republicans really are split this time.
