FR's eyes on the nation | today | me

[tomkat]

It's 0930 EST and there's nothing in the sidebar that looks like a live thread for the SC primary . . .

[KansasGirl]

FL’s primary is closed!

Btw, Juan just admitted that Romney could not properly articulate the message and “failed to deliver a knockout punch that was setup for him by everybody...”. WHAT?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Red eyes aside .... he sure had time to glue his hair.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Keep praynig Ben, keep praying for your boy Mittens.

[kevao]

Oh, really. Then explain what Brit’s point was in pointing out that only Romney finished strong in all three primaries so far? It was indeed to suggest that Romney is still the guy to beat.

[Leep]

Let me thank your soon to be ex-governor Nikki Haley...blah blah blah

[Right_in_Virginia]

Mittens has absolutely NO fire in his belly.

This nomination is his ... damn it! He’s paid for it for eight years!

[eyedigress]

I must say I don’t remember that! HA! Good for you Scout. It’s a small world. :^)

[Matchett-PI]

"Wow. 4% of the botes were caste for folks that have withdrawn...what kind of idiot wastes their vote like that?"

Lots of nit-wits in Florida, that's who. They've already wasted their vote during the early voting and using absentee ballots.

[Marcella]

“Now we need ...ex-Gov. Jeb Bush..to endorse NEWT!”

The rest of the Bush’s have endorsed Romeny. Don’t expect Jeb to buck the family.

I feel better now, had butterflies for a few minutes there

[seekthetruth]

Hey South Florida Freeper! I’m in St.Pete but will be down that way. Goning to see Newt in Coral Springs on Wednesday and West Palm on Saturday! :)

Newt, Palin and Bachman were the only ones that had the guts to go after the Kenyan Marxist Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama.

Romney meekly says thing like “ we really (sort of) need to get rid of Obama, we really(sort of) do”.

Newt says things like “ We MUST get rid of Obama, he is a danger to our republic and he is a Saul Alinsky radical’.... etc.

Newt it NOT John McCain. You will not see Newt doing this sort of thing:

“Mittens acting like he won lol!”

To be fair, he IS talking to his supporters, and he HAS acknowledged (in a roundabout way, so far) that he’s lost this one.

[CSM]

Good point. I had forgotten about absentee votes. Thanks for that reminder.

[BenKenobi]

Santorum also doing well in Dillon and Chesterfield (2nd, ahead of Romney)

Paul is 2nd in Abbeville.

Abbeville has Romney at 18, with Santorum catching up.

Spartanburg is actually for Romney, not Newt as was reported.

[EDINVA]

Wouldn’t you love to know who the 700+ are who voted for Perry/Cain/Huntsman/Bachmann?

[Island Girl]

Even Brit finally admits Romney doesn’t have the political “It” factor. Sorry Brit and the rest of you, but we don’t like Romney. We really don’t like him.

[BenKenobi]

10 in.

39 Gingrich
30 Romney
17 Santorum
13 Paul.
