[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Don't celebrate too early yet, we are all being Punk'd!

6 to 8% of Santorum's votes were Obama Democrats.....Believe it.

[NoGrayZone]

Why on earth do we still have open primaries?

[ScottinVA]

CNN’s exit polls (for Mississippi and for Alabama) and the actual vote counts may be found at their site (and perhaps others have published exit polls, please tell me if you find any).

Remember how exit polls were oh-so-firmly showing Kerry was winning across the land vs. Bush in 2004?

Sorry... try again.

[org.whodat]

I am sure that that is what happened in SC, and Ga, how can someone with 14 % national support win anything.

[Qwackertoo]

I’d believe it. And I’d believe they were being some of the anti-Gingrich robo-calls on Sunday and Monday.

[FrankR]

I don’t doubt it, obama would MUCH rather go up against wimpy than Gingrich...any day of the week and twice on election day.

[the jogger]

I was shocked that Santorum won both of these, now I know why. I imagine tho not as shocked as Gingrich, now he knows why too.

[Utmost Certainty]

I believe it. Santorum is the Left’s dream candidate for Obama to run against.

[DannyTN]

If Democrats give us Santorum over Romney,I will thank them kindly.

If Democrats and big labor like Santorum, then maybe Santorum is a lot more electable in the general election than some give him credit for.

After all, it’s hard to collect union dues when your workforce is drawing food stamps.

[petitfour]

I believe it. One of my liberal friends in AL was talking about how he hadn’t decided who to vote for on Monday evening. He hates them all but probably voted for the weakest option.

[trappedincanuckistan]

Just like Michigan.

[Rashputin]

A friend of mine in Birmingham says at least 10% of the votes for Lawyer Rickey in Jefferson County were democrat voters.

I’d be surprised if there weren’t a lot more than that in a few other cities. The democrat fascists as well as the Vichy Republicans are scared to death that Newt might somehow get the nomination. Lawyer Ricky or Bishop Romney they don’t worry about.

[malos]

No it’s you who’s being punked. The vast majority of non Republican votes are going to Romney. Why? Because with 2 liberals running its a guarantee that a lib wins.

[elpadre]

Alabama has steel mills and probably unionized. The Unions have been fostering this voting for whichever they feel would be easiest for Obama to beat. In Ohio they went for Santorum and it appears the same thing happened Tuesday.

[House Atreides]

Sorry PSYCHO, it’s not us being Punk’d.

There exists a de facto campaign (by Conservative Republicans Gingrich & Santorum) to deny Romney the number of delegates needed to be selected as the Republican nominee. I agree with this strategy and hope that it succeeds.

To the extent that any (non-conservative) Rats come over and vote for Santorum or Gingrich in a misguided attempt to sabotage the Republicans, I welcome it. They are not the drivers of this strategy, they are USEFUL IDIOTS being used (and “punk’d) by the good guys (i.e., conservatives) in this noble effort. If our efforts to get a conservative nominee succeeds, these Rats will have made an inadvertent contribution to its success.

And, by the way PSYCHO, some of the Rats coming over to vote may be voting for Romney or some may be true conservatives (AKA Reagan Democrats).

[Christie at the beach]

They were laughing at this very same thing on Dk.

Of course, it is true. They are wanting to keep Newt in the back. heaven forbid, if Newt began to come on strong (can’t have that by the left or by Romney's media nor Newt's own party leaders)

[annieokie]

And NEWT knows the game being played and knows what to do about it, that as you know is why he is staying in. One way or another he will do everything he can to see that Romney is not our candidate. Gotta love Newt, he loves America FIRST.

[dforest]

No. People aren’t crazy for Newt. That simple.

[pgkdan]

I’m willing to believe that’s what happened in GA and SC...FL even. AL and MS? Not so much.
