“And Newt is now blasting Santorum so that he can get a few more percentages to his last place finishes is just allowing Romney to win these things. His strategy gets worse by the minute.”

---

I blame the genius “advisers” that Newt is apparently listening to. They are totally clueless about stopping Romney. Or perhaps just in it for the paychecks from Adelson.

Is that even legal?

Wake up to reality. Let’s beat Willard the Lib not beat up fellow conservatives.

UNITE!!!

[entropy12]

Probably legal since the results are non-binding.

Also note that the caucus arrangements are not done formally by the secretary of state. It is locally organized by local activists.

There is nothing cheerful in not being able to vote. I was simply describing the reality of the situation on ground. And if they do not show up in November, I am positive that will make the anointed one very happy.

If one does not want to be disfranchised from voting, one should take part in organizing the event, instead of just showing up, or at least show up early.

And if everyone showed up early?

Remember that Romney ran before so he was very aware of the primary format. Next, he had a massive amount of money and used millions to buy up all the air time in Iowa and bash Newt 24/7. I watched Newt stand up during the debates in Iowa and get attacked by Bachmann, Romney and even Santorum.

Newt has been consistent on his solutions and we know what a magnificent record he has as Speaker...the best. There was hope that Romney would go down if he lost Michigan and even though the delegates were split..he won. Cain, I have NO doubt in my heart of hearts that Newt would make the greatest president since Reagan. I do not doubt it at all. We would see our gas prices at the pump cut; we would see the end of the Obama administrations csars, maybe even some of the judicial activists and of course he would never apologize to the terrorists. There is so much I love about Newt..but I will get back off my soapbox as I am watching Newt on Huckabee's forum right NOW! he is amazing

[entropy12]

I am Medicare age. I guarantee all voters will not show up early to vote. Some did show up way early on black Friday for shopping though. Naw...there was no breaking the doors down type of mob for voting.

[entropy12]

Newt would be a phenomenally effective president. He is not dead yet. Many states favor him and those are yet to vote.

Just heard on FOX that Romney is the projected winner in Washington state. 13 down, 37 states to go. Long ways from being over IMO.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks entropy12 for the topic, and thanks cripplecreek for the link.

...from pooled Benton County caucuses in Kennewick...

[GeronL]

The GOP just keeps on messing everything up this year

[Timber Rattler]

Oh, so only those who can fit in the room can vote?

Banana republic. Pure and simple.

[Lauren BaRecall]

How is this representative in any way?

[cripplecreek]

I’d walk out on the ice of a frozen lake to vote in the cold if that’s what it took.

It just doesn’t seem all that complicated to look at how many eligible voters there are and plan accordingly.

Will someone tell The Boy Wonder (Little Ricky Santorum) to:


1) STOP attacking Newt

2) STOP saying REALLY STUPID things, once a week ...



Ricky's troubles may only be beginning ...

Rush Limbaugh's massive cave-in APOLOGY will cripple his standing with Conservatives ...

And who has Rush Limbaugh been ferociosly endorsing ?

Little Ricky Santorum ...
