GOP Presidential Primary: Total Numbers after Iowa and New Hamshire

GOP Presidential Primary: Total Numbers after Iowa and New Hamshire:

Thought I would create a thread that shows the totals of the primaries thus far in terms of total votes, totals by candidate, percentages, and delegates thus far.

So, here it is

Total Votes Cast (with percent in parens):

Iowa = 121,914 (33.57%)
New Hampshire = 241,299 (66.43%)
Total Votes = 363,213

Total Vote/Percent and Delegates by Canddiate :

Romney = 126,185 (34.74%) (12 Delegates)
Paul = 82,122 (22.61%) (10 Delegates)
Santorum = 52,921 (14.57%) (7 Delegates)
Huntsman = 41,650 (11.52%) (2 Delegates)
Gingrich = 39,321 (10.83%) 2 Delegates
Perry = 14,309 (3.94%) (2 Delegates)
Bachman = 6,416 (1.77%) (0 Delegates)

As I have said before, the time must come quickly for the Santorum, Gingrich and Perry camps to come together into a single candidate to challenge Romney. If they had done so, at this point that candidate would be looking at:

Conservative Challenger = 106,551 (29.34%) (11 Delegates)

That would be a strong 2nd place going away from Romney's home turf into South Carolina. When Hunstman drops out, most of his votes will go to Romney, so that would serve to tighten it up...and also split Romney's vote a bit as long as Hunstman stays in.

If the conservative candidates continue to split themselves three ways, then I predict Romney either wins SC or comes in a close second, and the same thing happens in Florida. Most are not talking about getting out until after Florida. I believe that if Perry, for example, has a poor showing in SC then he should throw in behind the leading conservative.

If they wait until after Florida, and if Romney wins both SC and Florida (which is possible in this split vote because he is leading in the polls in both states now), then it may be too late.

Ron Paul is the future of the Republican party - he took the young vote hands down.””

The indoctrinated people from 18-30 are just delighted that Paul calls for an end to the war on drugs- even cocaine & heroin. They don’t want to march & carry a rifle & be in ANY military, as they just don’t understand there sometimes is a need for war. Pearl Harbor is barely 2 words to them.

They are a self-indulgent generation & will remain that way until a war with Islam wipes them out.

When trouble comes to this country—& it will—this group will be totally useless & will be some of the earliest to be wiped out, IMO.

Sure is a long, hard fall from the heady times of the Reagan years.

No kidding. I just want to once be able to vote for a presidential candidate I am proud of, without having second thoughts. I was only 16 in 1984 so never got to vote for Reagan. I voted for Bush the elder both times, but was unsure about the whole compassionate conservative line. Voted for Dole, because he wasn't Clinton and voted for Bush the younger because he wasn't Gore or Kerry. When I voted for McCain it made me want to puke.

I know I won't be happy with the candidate this year. Santorum is too fast to embrace big government programs. Newt was on the couch with Nancy. Perry wants an open border. I'm not a fanboy for any of the candidates. But I could live with any of those three.

Romney is always wrong on every issue. There is not one single thing I like about the guy. I have tried to find anything and it just isn't there. I simply can't attach my name and my honor to a man I despise in every way possible. As much as Ron Paul scares me he at least believes the crap he is spewing. I can and will work oppose someone who I believe is wrong, but it is nothing like the gut wrenching fury I feel when viewing the traitor.

An (R) after the name just isn't enough. It is not that I can't vote for a candidate I don't agree with 100% of the time. I have done in many times before and I am likely to do it again many times in the future. It is that I can't vote for a candidate that I disagree with 100% of the time.

Paul voters are not going to any other candidate since Paul voters want a small, honest constitutional government that pursues and non-interventionist foreign policy. Paul is the only candidate that is advocating the elimination of 5 federal department, abolishing the IRS, abolishing the progressive income tax and cutting 1 trillion dollar from the federal budget immediately. No other candidate comes close.

I find it staggering that the media is telling us that Romney needs to be the candidate NOW- when just over .11 percent——just over 1/10th of a percent of the USA population has voted into these numbers!!!!!

The media was saying that before a single vote was cast.

They are not mentioning how very early we are in a very long process.

Well, until he screwed the pooch with his “Oops” move, Perry actually was trying to say that he wanted to cut three departments out entirely. And I suspect he’d be a strong fiscal conservative, plus he’s been doing what he can as Governor to try to control the borders (in spite of no help from the current administration.)

I still think he’s the candidate that combines credentials and philosophy the best, but he’s got to get some traction in SC or it isn’t going to matter.

Perhaps Mitt didn’t win IOWA—perhaps Santorum did!!!

I wish we could get a straight answer, as the media is working at making "two in a row for Romney" the 'truth'...

Thanks for putting this in context. All I am reading and hearing is that Romney will be the Republican candidate based on Iowa and NH. Such absurdity with so few delegates.

It is time to panic, not because of these rudimentary numbers but because of the American people and their herd mentality.

It’s possible. We’ll know when they certify it here in the next little while.
