Today is the day.
How could the polls be closed? It’s, like, noon there.
Cool. Which MN would have them on a weekend. Probably get better turn out.
Nevada holds cacucus, it does not polls I have been told
It;s a causus, they don’t work like normal primaries.
Got any results? How many delegates is Nevada worth? Winner take all state?
It is great news. He can't tank fast enough or low enough to suit me.
“Kudos to the great state of NV for not allowing the Lamestream media to dictate their caucus.”
The MSM wants to keep up the image of Republicans in division and disarray, when in fact they have been quite consistant in giving Romney either a first or second.
The Dems want ANYONE BUT ROMNEY
Please dear one, don’t feed the twit. If you ignore him, he wanders back to DU sooner.

Republican presidential candidates seeking a win in South Carolina’s primary — and an edge in what so far has been a wide-open race — were hoping voters would head to the polls despite bad weather.
Rain and snow were falling in some places on Saturday morning. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who was victorious earlier this month in Iowa caucuses, said the snow was “something we hoped wouldn’t happen.”
But, Huckabee said, “We have to take the weather for what it is. We don’t get to choose it. I just hope that our voters are so committed that it doesn’t affect the fact that they are going to vote, because ... it’s a mission that they have to deal with today.”
Malfunctioning voting machines plagued Horry County, which contains the cities of Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, according to poll workers. Workers said the machines have been down since polls opened at 7 a.m., and they are not reading activation cards.
Workers were handing out paper ballots, but at least one precinct has run out — it had only 23 on hand. Poll workers said the county has about 100 precincts, and all of them are affected.
Historically, the path to the GOP presidential nomination has gone through South Carolina, which relishes its role of being the political gateway to the South. Residents like to point out that no one since Ronald Reagan has reached the White House without a South Carolina win.
“South Carolina is the state where the Republican base passes judgment on the candidates,” CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider said. “If conservatives are going to rally behind any single contender, we’ll see that happen in South Carolina.”
As of around 11 a.m., about 140 people had turned out to vote in the Seven Oaks precinct of Lexington County, South Carolina. Some of them, however, complained about phone calls earlier in the week from campaigns.
“It’s a little much,” said Kay Burns, who said she voted for Sen. John McCain of Arizona because “I like what he stands for.”
Others said they voted for Huckabee.
“I like the fact he’s a Christian,” said voter Stacee Groome.
Kay Burns’ husband, Ellus, said he voted for former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee because of his “presentation, maturity and Reaganism.” Burns said the most important issues for him are the economy and international relations
Nevada Republican caucuses are done, and the results are coming in. Dem caucuses are still going, we’ll see results later today
Looks like it took its ball and went home. Thanks tol.
AMEN!!! Go FRED!!
Thanks at work and the IT Nazis blocked out the website you posted.
By "workin' men," I'll assume you mean the proletariat.
I AM GETTING SICK OF FOX PIMPING HUCKABEE AND MCCAIN! And down playing Thompson like he has no chance.
I need to switch it over to college basketball or something!
Anytime FRiend!
You don’t know how many times I’ve heard that. Don’t people realize they’ve been fed propaganda and create a self-fulfilling prophecy when they buy into it?
If everyone who didn’t vote for Fred because he can’t win it actually voted for Fred, Fred would be winning.
