“Watching Fox... They’ve written Newt off as an also ran...”
Is that what they said about Reagan after the Iowa caucus - when he came in 4th? - Indeed, Iowa is more of a reverse barometer - most candidates who WIN Iowa, do NOT go
on to win the primaries -
.
If Newt comes in fourth, same as Reagan did - I’m comfortable with that. (Romney came in first in Iowa before - didn’t do him much good. Also - out in the ‘real’ world, it’s just a fact that many will not vote for Romney because he’s a Mormon - and insult to injury, even Mormons don’t like him. He’ never been able to get above his average mid 20% - when the field gets watered down, others will leave him behind...I’m going to enjoy the results in SC - and watch Nikki realize she made a deal with the devil, and lost.)
BTW, is FOX and the other media deliberately reporting on precincts they know Newt is weak in? They’re reporting with just a few hundred votes counted?
As another good poster educated me, Reagan came in 2nd, not 4th. Only a point or two seperated them.
Your posts always put me in a better mood. ;>)
GO NEWT GO.........
“If Newt comes in fourth, same as Reagan did - I’m comfortable with that.”
I just checked out the link to Google at post #34. In 75% of the precints reported (in color), Newt is somewhere in the top 4. Only 1 has him #1, but the others have him ranging between #2-4.
In the purple areas, where Rick S. is winning, he doesn’t do as well. Right now it looks like Newt will be able to advance as somewhere in the top 4.
“...and watch Nikki realize she made a deal with the devil, and lost.”
Who is Nikki, Poodle?
