Ron Paul Write In Effort Is Underway

Ron Paul received two write in votes in one of the first locations allowed to vote: Hart’s Location in New Hampshire. Of course, Obama sweeped both Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location with the highest number of votes beating out McCain handily, but Ron Paul was the only other candidate to receive votes, write in or not.

Democrat Obama defeated Republican John McCain by a count of 15 to 6 in Dixville Notch, where a loud whoop accompanied the announcement in Tuesday’s first minutes. The town of Hart’s Location reported 17 votes for Obama, 10 for McCain and two for write-in Ron Paul. Independent Ralph Nader was on both towns’ ballots but got no votes.

As much as I think the write in of Ron Paul is a waste of time in the majority of states this is not one of those. Any state that he is an official write in candidate or on the ballot such as in California, Louisiana, and Montana I can’t argue against voting for him. Or in a special case like these heavily reported first voting locations in New Hampshire.

Get out there and vote for liberty. That is, vote for Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, or Ron Paul where appropriate.

    Thanks for helping. Why not just vote directly for OBAMA the communist? Because that is what you idiots are doing.

    NH,

    As these first votes illustrate the only person truly helping Obama win is the “idiot” McCain himself, not some fringe group of principled liberty voters.

    The difference between Obama and McCain in most places will not equal the cumulative number of votes Barr, Baldwin, and Paul get. There are a few exceptions, but I don’t think those exceptions would tip the election in McCain’s favor regardless.

    Then again… if it were to happen I don’t think it would be such a bad thing. It would certainly give media attention to the largely ignored “other” choices for a change.

    Enjoy,
    Marc

    NH, would you prefer to vote in McCain the Socialist?
