[quote:Anonymous Coward 1493293:MV8xNTk0OTE0XzE2Q0Q4MUI0] In 2008, there were 200 college kids who decided to move to Iowa and support the Ron Paul campaign in the weeks before the Iowa caucus. They made thousands of calls to thousands of voters and convinced many to turn out and support Ron Paul. They put the names and numbers of these voters in a central database so they could call to remind them the day before and arrange transportation to take them to the caucuses. The day before the caucus, the database holding all this important information fried. There was no backup and no hard copy so no-one was contacted and no-one was picked up. People who would have supported Ron Paul and who were promised rides by his campaign either drove themselves there or just stayed home. Because of this the turnout was limited to already-loyal Ron Paul supporters and almost all the hard work done by the 200 college students was for absolutely nothing. Ron Paul's campaign can go fuck itself and anyone stupid enough to follow that piece of shit campaign again can go fuck themselves to! :bird: [/quote]
