I thought the time was right to start up a live thread for results and comments about tonight, so here we are!

[Star Traveler]

Ummm..., maybe we should try asking the question like, how long have the candidates been ignoring the Evangelicals after getting their votes in the election.... LOL

“Christopher Dodd is dropping out”

Didn’t he do that back in the ‘60s? After turning on and tuning in?

[MNJohnnie]

Thompson now ahead about 300 votes

[SamAdams76]

Not to steal Chris Dodd's thunder, but I am also dropping out of the race tonight. It was fun but I really do have to get back to my paying job. At least I got twice the amount of votes as Dodd, thanks to the two people who voted for me (I really appreciate it).

Please refer to my profile to see my campaign platform. Don't worry, I'll be back in 2012.

They’re reporting Dodd with literally one vote in the entire state. That’s horrendous.

I get the percentages, but can anyone give me a link or channel to the numbers?

[Fox_Mulder77]

Huckabee’s speech is making no sense.........is anyone listening to him? he sounds like the Ms. South Carolina giving her final answer.

WEIRD

Thompson NOW AHEAD....!!!!! PATIENCE....PATIENCE....PATIENCE.

[Gondring]

Whatever it is, it's to the benefit of his pocketbook. Not us schmucks.

And just wait till his liberal son takes over the empire. He'll make daddy look like Reagan.

Right on the mark, as you often are.

[La Enchiladita]

Very important point.

BWAAHAAHAAA!

Republicans should learn from this that the pro-life vote is significant, and you don’t win GOP primaries without it.

Please tell me what Republican said, implied, or insinuated that the pro-life vote is NOT significant. If it happened, I missed it.

This was better than expected for Fred. He should get all the Conservative vote in the SE which should turn it around. He is in better shape than Mitt or InSane in the long run.

The big news is Harpy has been trounced by the people. Her numbers will tumble nationwide now that IA said it is ok to vote against the Machine.

Pray for W and Our Troops

I expect Fred to turn his attention to SC. He aint gonna drop out. The huckabee #s wont last and when they fall Fred will rise. Beyond that, when MS Cain drops out hi 3s will go to Fred

What's Fred's fiancial situation? I don't see him getting much of a bump with this showing (at least I had higher hopes when the first exit polls were showing him at 18-18%). Does he have the cash on hand to keep himself in it? A guy from politico.com(?) on FNC said he was "broke." True?

“That is a stupid book. It is full of lies and appeals only to the narrow minded. Walter Martin is a lier and a fraud.”

Yup - and Star Traveler fits that profile well!

Having lived with a “born-again” evangelical Christian and a Mormon, I can say that they have far more similarities than Fundies would like to acknowledge.

[wbill]

He had a bit part in the movie “Dodgeball”. Other than that, I’ve not seen him in anything.

[rb22982]

That’s 1 delegate, note vote. The Dem #s are reported as delegates (iowa has 2500).

[pay dirt]

If I missed the boat on this one, then so did a bunch of other folks I know that tune in to Fox every day. Please pass a life vest or 30.... LOL ;)
