(CNSNews.com) - Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania won a plurality of votes from the Tea Party supporters who attended Tuesday night's Iowa caucuses, while former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won a plurality of those who say they oppose the Tea Party, according to an entrance poll published by CNN.
Sixty-four percent of caucus-goers described themselves as Tea Party supporters, 10 percent described themselves as opponents of the Tea Party, and 24 percent said they were neutral about the Tea Party.
Among Tea Party supporters, Santorum won 29 percent and Romney and Rep. Ron Paul tied for second with 19 percent each.

Ping!
I wonder how many self-proclaimed “Tea Party” supporters are actually serious fiscal conservatives, vs. how many think the Tea Party is a religious convention, vs. how many are merely bandwagoners who fancy themselves nominal conservatives.
Think about that one a while.

No, they probably weren't Republicans.
So, we have Republicans voting for Santorum and Democrats voting for Romney.
And it's about 50/50.
That sounds about right. In Iowa that is. They've swung around from time to time, and although that place is NOT Obamaland it sometimes has this Farmer-Labor spasm and they'll vote for a Commie.
I think if the Democrats weren't able to stuff Romney down folk's throat in Iowa, they won't be able to do that elsewhere either. There were, after all, the other half of the voters who chose OTHER REPUBLICANS.
It may just be lexicon in the article, but how are there ‘tea party opponents’ voting in a republican primary? The tea party is simply an active group promoting the very basic principles of the republican platform. If you are an opponent of lower taxes and less government, you should be participating in a GOP primary or caucus.
Well, where I was in an affluent suburban precinct, bankers, real estate and corporate execs (and their wives) were against the Tea Party. Many were long-time Republican activists, contributors and party officers.
Crossovers aren’t the problem - the establishment is.
I heard that in Iowa you can change parties just before the voting.
If Santorum won, I hope the truth comes out soon.
This morning on Bloomburg radio, I heard some kind of political analyst say if Romney wins the first three it’s all over.
Now I don’t agree with that, but the perception will be there for SOME voters, which could change their voting and/or decision to contribute to conservative candidates.
Anyway, I think Santorum will exceed expectations in NH and win more races after that.
Santorum: “I embraced the Ryan plan and said it’s a good first step”

What’s wrong with that?
Well, maybe you’re a moderate, but moderates are people, too.
what I heard him say is he wants to cut the payments to retires and not do anything about the deadbeats sucking the live blood from the system...no insight as to what the problems really are. typical of what is wrong with the politicians we have today.
FReepmail “Antoninus” to be added or removed.that up.
Last I heard, Santorum won the whole thing. Any more on the recount in Iowa (one precinct still in doubt at last report)?
They make a show of being Republicans but they scratch those Democrat backs too.
Fortunately they are a small minority.
The folks further down the line like the bankers, real estate folks, stock brokers, doctors, lawyers, dentists ~ they may sound like the establishment but for the most part they aren't ~ never have been. It's your retail class that belches up a lot of our local party leadership, and they vote in party caucuses for the County and State chairmen, and pass out campaign assignments.
The Young Republicans end up doing a lot of the ground work ~ they'll get older and move up the economic ladder and end up like the realty folks and proessionals.
Then there are the Social Conservatives ~ they cut across the economic class lines and in some places they are the Establishment.
The target of most of the disgruntled talk are the PROFESSIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMENTERS ~ these are the folks who attempt to move public opinion through use of the media. They don't like the TEA Party because it's simply not exciting enough for them nor do they imagine TEA Party idea are attractive to the average citizen.
The Pros inside the party structure want to win ~ at all costs. They are unconcerned with the fact that Romney is UNELECTABLE ~ they imagine they can make other Republicans believe that he is, if not for his ideas then for the power of his friends to cheat.
End of that story. The guy can't win.
I heard today that Santorum was now 6 points behind, but they might still be counting, because it hasn’t been certified yet.
Thanx for using the ping list!
