In 1996, NH republican voters chose Pat Buchanan in the primary. What an independent bunch of of voters willing to look outside the establishment and return to more fiscally conservative government! So I thought surely Ron Paul would fare well here, especially after getting 10% in Iowa, where the voters tend to be much more conventional. Well, despite our best efforts
Ron Paul only got about 8 or 9% of the vote. Wow. What surprise! And one situation has come to light that gives me a sinking feeling - some people in Sutton, a town next to ours, noticed that it was reported that there were 0 votes for Ron Paul, even though they knew they had voted for him. Apparently the town made a mistake in reporting their numbers to the state. That one was easy to catch - but what if there are more "mistakes" like that? It's a depressing scenario.
Here's a new article I read today that describes a lot of the characteristics that I have noted about Dr. Paul, both in watching him in appearances and in conversing with him during lunch (scroll down for that)!
