Obama said since the MIch delegates did not count, and he did not want to against his Party’s rules, he had his name withdrawn from the list..

That seems kind of, well, dumb, doesn't it, if your campaign needs to develop MOMENTUM?

[HonestConservative]

Now Romney 43

McCain 32

[westmichman]

Isn’t he Pat Paulsen with a new name?

“Intrade.com has Romney of fire with McCain going down in flames.”

Markets are always lagging indicators.

Mitt must have won, the media is awful quiet tonight compared to NH.

You beat me to it, that's exactly what I was thinking. It's so obvious they've always wanted McCain but Delay was right, what happened in New Hampshire will turn out to be nothing but a blip on the radar screen in the campaign.

[SamAdams76]

33% of the vote in already (that was fast!)...

Romney 39
McCain 34
Huckabee 12

He made the decision months ago, when ballot qualifications were happening. Once he started to move post Iowa, it was too late.

Guys, pls post a % reporting stat with your “scores” haha

[joshhiggins]

The Muslim Observer, a newspaper based in Michigan, came down on the side of the presidential candidacy of Republican Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. "The Muslim community in Michigan has a unique opportunity to beat the pundits by voting as a block for Ron Paul as the Republican candidate".

This leads me to believe that the "Muslim Observer" believes barack is a stealth mohammedan. If they viewed him as an apostate they would want him to lose to hillary.

Fox saying Romeny now 39, McLame 26. heh heh.

I prefer Fred, can accept Romney, can moderately accept Rudy, dislike the idea of McCain or Huckabee

[HonestConservative]

39/31 now

Mitt has been averaging an 8 point lead.

[TheLion]

Somehow, I think they already know but are downplaying it.

[StarFan]

OMG I wish that holds! Thanks for sharing.
