Since Santorum dropped out, they stopped conducting primary polls. Over at RealClearPolitics I’ve seen nothing for weeks. It’s just part of the media narrative that the rest of our votes just don’t matter.

I think it has more to do with money. Polling gets expensive, depending on the state and methodology. I don't think Newt has any money to do it and Milt doesn't care anymore.

Yes, and I guess you're saying that the candidates' judgement doesn't matter either?

What if we shorten your statement to the nub:

Since Santorum dropped out, ...the rest of our votes just don’t matter.

Damn that Santorum. If he'd stayed in then RCP would do polls and MY vote would still matter! wow.

Well, it’s a free market right? Who’s stopping you from starting your own polling firm and conducting polls?

I’m not really making fun of you, just ridiculing some simplistic thinking vis-a-vis the economy.

Sucks doesn't it....I just voted for Newt and the people there were all pretty much disgusted....the turnout was low and they think had Santorum dropped out earlier we would have had a Newt/Romney selection.....it would have been a different story all together and the race would have been on to the finish line.

People there were really angry at Santorum for screwing the whole Primary up...and handing it to Romney. Further in holding back his delegates

Honestly, this primary is over. That was proved tonight. Romney without Santorum in the field was dominant, as predicted.

I know this is difficult medicine for the Gingrich supporters, but Romney will get over the required number of delegates pretty soon.

Newt should have helped Santorum when they had a chance to defeat Romney, rather then helping Romney defeat Santorum.
