Have at it y'all !

Hey Florida -- let's show the Nation and all the RINO slugs some TeaPower today !

This one oughta be good for a couple thousand !

( oy, my poor ping page ! )

[tomkat]

Good boys and girls who stay On-Topic get extra cookies, youbetcha !

Keep it up and y'all don't have to eat those damned peas either !

Only distressing thing at this point, aside from loooow turnout, is that we've slipped to 7th place in the Breaking sidebar.

Dunno how John has that rigged up .. maybe we'll climb back up as the evening progresses and the post total rises.
I've forgotten what the default # of posts in Breaking is .. have mine set to 10

I don’t have any idea about demographics, is Palm Beach County considered conservative or liberal? Would it be more likely to vote for Mitt or Newt/Rick?

“How quickly we forget the Nov 2000 Miami melee at the county offices. Followed by the local canvassing board’s abrupt cancellation of a hand recount. Without the “melee” Algroe would have taken Florida and the Oval Office.’

The oh so hated “Brooks Brothers Rebellion”, as the Left Media calls it.

Then all of us need to learn how to Tweet over our summer vacation! LOL! Let’s drive the social media narrative FOR us, not against us! I just “tweeted” and put on a hash tag but I don’t know if I did it right! :)

First exit Poll I have seen and it looks bad:

Good data - and from a quick calculation - the hundreds that were not pro-Newt appear to be Ron Paul’s voting demographic.

"winner take all in Florida"

Maybe not. Can Santorum/Gingrich throw their support to each other after the vote and become the winner that takes all?

Florida may not be winner take all

[freemarketsfreeminds]

I have not, nor will I ever “tweet”. It’s unmanly.

[PatriotGirl827]

Unfortunately, liberal.

But I’m hoping that maybe Romney supporters may be a little over-confident and not worrying about turning out to vote.

I voted for Newt. I like Rick Santorum too, but Newt has more experience.

I prayed about it, and the bible passage came to me about Jesus telling His disciples to be wise as serpents, but innocent as doves.

I believe Newt is wise enough to know how to handle the jerks in D.C.

Make mine one of these bad boys please! Chocolate Marshmellow.... oh yes, mommy like!

[Kaosinla]

Hard to tell since it’s lib territory.

Rubio is not constitutionally qualified for POTUS or Veep. Otherwise he is doing a great job right where he is.

Drudge Flash....

SOURCES, EXIT POLLS 5 PM ET: 46% ROMNEY 32% GINGRICH 12% SANTORUM 7% PAUL... DEVELOPING...

EXIT POLLS SHOW ROMNEY NEARING MAJORITY IN FL

Gotta drive down that West Florida turnout!

[DannyTN]

"So is the light turnout good news for Newt? Or good news for Mitt?"

• Conservatives are more passionate so low turnout favors Newt.
• However low turnout also favors ballot fraud making it easier to steal the election.
• Low turnout also favors crossover voters, which will prob vote for Romney, unless they've bought their own hype and vote against Romney perceiving him as a real threat.

[Shelayne]

I’ll believe it when I see it, Drudge. No way Romney has 46%.

First exit Poll I have seen and it looks bad:

From linked source:  That's according to an informal poll of early voters conducted by the Daily News between Jan. 23 and 27

An empty-nester county. sigh.
