Last night, when CNN shut down its election coverage after Ron won the Adelson caucus, there was no explanation, just a confusing switch to earlier coverage. We still do not know the results for approximately half the votes in the state. I believe Ron came in a solid second, at least, beating Newt and threatening Rom. And who knows, he might have done better than that. We can be pretty sure there are shenanigans going on, because the MSM is not questioning the unprecedented delay. It reminds me of the Iowa strawpoll, which I believe–with good reason–was won by Ron, and not Bach. I guess we will never know, without some courageous whistleblowers, but the US has a long history of stolen elections. Are we supposed to think the present breed of pols is above such things, when trillions and trillions are at stake?
UPDATE from Scott Weisman:
This is why I’m pretty pretty sure (in addition to the “it” in “in it to win it” being the presidency, not the nomination) that the good doctor is going to go all the way. At worst, he’ll just rally more people to the cause.
UPDATE from Michael Morin:
I lived in Reno, NV for 6 1/2 years, leaving Dec. 29, 2011. Ron Paul stickers and supporters DOMINATE Washoe County. The only other support I ever witnessed was for Obama. I was there in 2008 caucus..there is no way these results could be real. Something is deeply wrong.
GOP pols in Nevada still refuse to explain the outrageous and secretive late count of caucus votes in Clark County, home to Las Vegas. While 71% of precincts in the state were counted last night, that’s only about 50% of the people. Apparently the turnout was the smallest in some time.
Now, whose votes could those possibly be? (Thanks to Brad Funkhouser)
Incompetence, as Politico claims? Or something worse, to prevent Ron from trouncing Newt? (Thanks to Brad Funkhouser)
