A new survey of Minnesota from Public Policy Polling (D) shows Newt Gingrich with a big lead in this state’s caucuses, which will be held on February 7. And what is more, A Gingrich win here could potentially embarrass Romney very much.
The numbers: Gingrich 36%, Romney 18%, Santorum 17%, and Paul 13%. The survey of likely caucus-goers was conducted from January 21-22, and has a ±5.6% margin of error.
Romney actually won the Minnesota caucuses in 2008, which were held on the February 5 Super Tuesday event of that year. In that cycle, Romney had emerged as the conservative alternative to frontrunner John McCain, with Romney winning the state by a nearly 2-1 margin of 41%-22%.
But this time around, Gingrich has emerged as the conservative alternative to frontrunner Mitt Romney.

Huh.. They didn’t call me.
I would have added to Newts lead.
Oh, Santorum beating Mitt would be sweet.
They DID call me and I DID add to Newts lead :-)
Sorry Michele but at least you got a kiss.

ya’ll have open or closed primaries ?
We don’t have primaries in Minnesota, we have caucuses, which are open.
Let me amend that. We do have a primary, but it doesn’t choose delegates. The state convention sends delegates to the national convention, and that process begins with local caucuses.
when did I ever make you think I understood THAT ?
lmao
thx for the heads up
If he believes Newt is going to win, he needs to call Newt and strike a bargain for his dropping out and providing his full support to Newt.
If he believes Romney is going to win (and if he supports Romney), he needs to stay in and continue to split the vote.
But as for Santorum as the nominee, he lacks the charisma and personal magnetism to win and lead.

LOL...Oh my! The absolute derangement of that statement...
Hannity misquoted the Quinnipiac poll on his show. He flipped the numbers for among likely voter poll. "40% for Romney and Gingrich 34%".
As we know, it is the other way around:
Gingrich 40% Romney 34%
