Another poll showing Newt surging to a share of the lead in TN. Newt has NO BALLOT OR DELEGATE PROBLEMS in TN. He is the SMART VOTE in Tennessee!!!!!!!

[TitansAFC]

Super Tuesday Poll Ping!

[HoneysuckleTN]

Cool beans! :D

[CainConservative]

Poll Date Sample Santorum Romney Gingrich Paul Spread

RCP Average 3/3 - 3/4 — 32.3 29.7 24.7 9.3 Santorum +2.6

Newt is merely helping Willard have a better Super Tuesday than any Massachusetts liberal deserves. And EVERYONE with a brain knows it. Period.

[VinL]

Titans, posted just after you. Asked mods to take mine down. You’re just too quick with good news!

Newt will rise again!

[lahargis]

Go Gringrich! We call what Santorum is doing the Santorum Slide...

[RC2]

The establishment is scared to death of Newt. He knows where all the bodies are buried and is willing to talk about it and change things. I doubt they will allow him to win the nomination but he is exactly what this country needs right now.

[JDW11235]

Does someone else have ballot/delegate problems in TN, or are you saying that he has problems in other states? I’m sorry, I haven’t heard this. I know that only Romney and Paul are on the ballot in VA, and I heard Santorum has problems in Ohio. I have not heard anything in TN, is there something I’ve missed? Thanks in advance! And either way, good to hear, he’s coming up again. Thanks for posting.

[Sybeck1]

Dang Paul is just giving this to Romney, no denying it.

[CainConservative]

Doubt that Newt wins more than his home state of Georgia tomorrow. He’ll very likely go one for ten. Or two for 23 overall when you count SC.

As for Tennessee...

Poll Date Sample Santorum Romney Gingrich Paul Spread

RCP Average 3/3 - 3/4 — 32.3 29.7 24.7 9.3 Santorum +2.6

Again Newt is ONLY helping Willard have a better Super Tuesday (and primary election cycle) than any Massachusetts liberal deserves.

Bottom line:

We must unite the two conservatives, Rick & Newt to defeat the two liberals, Willard & Barack.

[Lexinom]

I don’t care if it’s Newt or Rick. Just defeat Obomney!

NEWT POWER!

The TN delegate allocation formular:

---

Tuesday 6 March 2012: 55 of Tennessee's 58 delegates to the Republican National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders in today's Tennessee Presidential Primary.

27 district delegates, 3 from each of the 9 congressional districts, are to be allocated to the presidential contenders based on the primary results in each congressional district. [ByLaws of the Tennessee Republican Party. Article IX. Rule C. Section 1. and Section 4A.]

• If a candidate receives more than 2/3 of the vote in a congressional district, that candidate receives all 3 delegates.
• Otherwise, if only 1 candidate receives 20% or more of the vote, that candidate receives all 3 delegates.
• Otherwise, if 2 or more candidates receive more than 20% of the vote, the highest vote getter receives 2 delegates and the next highest vote getter receives 1 delegate.
• Otherwise, the top 3 vote getters each receive 1 delegate.
• The district delegates are directly elected and appear on the primary ballot.

The 28 At-Large delegates are bound "winner-take-most" to presidential contenders based on the primary results statewide. [Article IX. Rule C. Section 1. and Section 4B.]

• If a candidate receives more than 2/3 of the vote statewide, that candidate receives all 28 delegates.
• Otherwise, if only 1 candidate receives 20% or more of the vote, that candidate receives all 28 delegates.
• Otherwise, if 2 or more candidates receive more than 20% of the vote, the delegates are distributed proportionally to those candidates receiving more than 20% of the statewide vote. (Here, the "total qualified vote" is the total number of votes cast to those candidates receiving more than 20% of the statewide vote.)
• Otherwise, delegates are distributed proportionally. (The "total qualified vote" = total statewide vote.)
• One half of the at-large delegates are directly elected and appear on the primary ballot.

Proportional distribution and rounding: Beginning with the candidate who received the most votes, multiply [the percentage of votes received] by [28 National Convention Delegates] and divide by [total qualified vote]. Round any remainder up to the next whole number. Repeat for the next highest vote getter until all 28 delegates are allocated.

The 28 At-Large delegates include the 10 "at-large" and 18 bonus delegates apportioned to Tennessee. They do not include the 3 RNC delegates. These delegates are bound to Presidential candidates based on the results of the primary. Half are elected in the primary and half are appointed by the Executive Committee with the consent of the respective Presidential campaigns. When determining "half" divide the total number of At-Large delegates by 2. If there are fractional delegates, round up the number of delegates appointed by the Executive Committee and round down the number of delegates determined by the Primary. [Article IX. Rule C. Section 2.]

• Remaining Delegates: 58 total - 27 district - 3 party leader delegates = 28.
• Take half: 28 ÷ 2 = 14.
• No rounding is necessary: 14 are elected in the Primary and 14 are appointed by the Executive Committee.

Just reflecting on the last week’s news cycle; Newt remained calm and dignified.

There is no equal to Newt’s experience and maturity on the issues of these perilous times.

Newt doesn’t need us - we need him.

[gitmogrunt]

Newt is the only Statesman in this race.

[napscoordinator]

Santorum is going to win TN tomorrow. He has most of the early votes already. Unless a couple million TN voters vote for Newt. He is a cooked goose. I don’t have a problem with these feel good stories for the Newt fans because they have been so depressed for a month now seeing all those fourth place finishes. Tomorrow Newt will get his ONE win in his home state of Georgia.

[Pride in the USA]

This is great news to read this morning! Newt all the way to the White House in 2012!!!!!!

[A. Morgan]

2 + 2 = 4 ; NEWT = $2.50 a gallon GAS ; 2 + 2 = 4

[Parley Baer]

Fantastic news. GO NEWT GO!

God...Romney and Santorum suck...wake up America. Vote Newt.
