Republican Demographics

[Timshel]

Paul's support could be said to be young, non-religious and generally liberal.
Romney surpisingly seemd to get a lot of votes from the warmongers and the fraidy cats.
Huckabee, the evangelicals
And McCain/Giuliani support comes from people who are retarded.

You gonna take that, WRL?

Is there some sort of inconsistency there?

 

[Bonestorm]

The oddest thing about both parties and the Iraq issue is that Clinton won amongst those who want to get the troops out as soon as possible and McCain won among those who approve of the Iraq war.

Nonsensical.

That is odd.

and McCain won among those who approve of the Iraq war.

Nonsensical.

That's not.

That's not.

Yeah, I forgot the "dis." McCain won among those that disapprove of the Iraq war, which is odd.

Ron Paul probably came in second in that regard. McCain just won overall because people consider Paul a loon.

 

[Bonestorm]

Here's another strange wrinkle: Romney won among those that strongly approve of the Iraq war.

Ron Paul was indeed second in that regard.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Well, the way the poll is structured, people win under some groups just because of their general electoral strength.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

I can imagine them shoving a list at people that asked who they supported, and what issues they were against and for. If people who opposed the war were individually asked who they thought was best in that regard, Paul would've obviously won out. But there's more issues to consider than that...

Yeah, that's what I pointed out. And those afraid of terrorist attacks. I would expect Rudy or McCain to do better there.

Huckabee and Romney serve to keep each other out of the office. While both are in the race they will continue to occasionally win a state or two, but mostly get second and third together.

Couldn't one tell their delegates to then vote for the other at the convention?

OH! The plot thickens...

Neither will. They both want to be President. Huckabee is the Religious Right's hope to avoid Mormonism being accepted as Christianity by fiat. If he was the only one in there, they'd vote for him.

One candidate needs a majority to win. So, either someone is going to have to start stampeding, or we end up with a hung convention.

There are many that are not shared, that the winner will take all. They'll push McCain or Romney over Huckabee... IMO.
