Do Ron Paul’s Supporters Refuse to Admit His Faults When It Comes to Earmarks? « Republican Ranting

I was reading an article on ConservativeHQ.com, “Ron Paul’s Pork Problem,” which basically criticized Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) for being a hypocrite on fiscal conservative principles by arguing for smaller government and less government spending but getting 22 earmarks (totaling $96.1 million) in the recent $410 billion omnibus spending bill.

Ron Paul Endorses Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party Candidate) for President « Republican Ranting

OK, back on September 10th, I had meant to post Ron Paul’s “endorsement” speech, but some crazy things happened in my life and I didn’t get to it. Well, none of that really matters now. The basics of his speech there (which I have just below) were that he’s endorsing all of the 3rd party candidates - basically don’t vote for McCain or Obama.

Most of the eastern part of the state has now reported, most counties going for Obama, but the margin by which he’s leading has stayed the same. There’s still a few eastern counties that have to report in and a couple on the west side.

We are now just waiting on a few counties. Union and Lake are the only 2 that haven’t reported in any precincts yet. There’s a few down by Indianapolis that are incomplete, and then in northern Indiana, we’re waiting on about half of Laporte and 29% of Porter.

Clinton 515,289 52% 15 delegates
Obama 479,085 48% 11 delegates
There are still some counties that will go for Clinton that haven’t reported any precincts yet. Fountain county wound up going to Clinton. The rest of the counties that need to report should be Clinton counties, so she should finish around 53%.

Obama has now fallen quite a bit below that 60% line. The western counties have begun to come in, so I think that as the Charlotte and Greensboro areas continue to come in, Obama will go back up to around 58%.

Indiana Primary Results: 9:30 P.M.: Clinton & McCain Win « Republican Ranting

Here are the results from the Indiana Primary as of 9:30 P.M. EDT with 73% reporting:

Depending on how that county goes, Clinton may stay at only 52% or she may be able to rise up to 53% or even 54%.

Democrats:
Obama 433,287 59% 20 delegates
Clinton 285,442 39% 13 delegates
No Preference 9,355 1% 0 delegates
As I predicted, Obama HAS fallen down below 60%, although he may bounce back. He’s doing well along the coast, which is beginning to come in now, and Mecklenburg County (Charlotte) still has all but a few precincts still left unreported. The areas around Raleigh are now about 75% in. I think Obama will continue to hover around this 60% line.

Indiana Primary Results: 9:00 P.M.: Clinton & McCain Win « Republican Ranting

North Carolina Primary Results: 8:45 P.M.: Obama & McCain Win « Republican Ranting

Here are the results from the North Carolina Primary as of 8:45 P.M. EDT with 18% reporting:
Democrats:
Obama 330,965 62% 20 delegates
Clinton 194,701 36% 13 delegates
No Preference 5,687 1% 0 delegates
A lot of the areas around Raleigh (Wake, Orange, Durham) counties have reported well over half of their precincts, and this is where Obama’s main support is coming from, while the outskirts of the state (Clinton’s support) haven’t come in yet much at all (they have the option of staying open until 8:30, and it’s usually the outskirts that do this). I think he may fall to the low 60% range, or even fall below 60% by the end of the night.
