Live thread to cover today's GOP caucus. News, predictions, opinions, totals, and the like.
Will be heading out about 4 pm or so to get our site ready and do a final review with the precinct chairs. I expect it to be bigger than 2008 with very heavy turnout and we are preparing for that.
We are also ready for disruptions. They simply won't be tolerated. The state party sent us a memo saying if there's any trouble call the cops immediately. Anyone trying to cause problems is going to get a rude awakening.
My predictions of the outcome are a narrow field with about a 10 point spread for the top five with Bachmann far behind in single digits:
Santorum - 24 Romney - 22 Paul - 20 Perry - 17 Gingrich - 14 Bachmann - 4 The Rest - 1
Think things are still in flux and many won't decide till right to the wire, so I'm not terribly confident of any predictions.
Ron Paul: “I doubt if I’ll come in third or fourth.”
Here’s a better idea...maybe you should take the plank out of your own eye, then wake up.
That’s just WRONG
Romney is the Republican Dukakis.
Bible Thumpers?? Are you on the right site to be a Christian hater?
Pray for America
That he did. I won’t make excuses for that. Who do you make excuses for?
Thanks for pointing it out!
Good point. I was a bit put off by some of Santorums debate performances, but take what I didn’t like and turn it on Romney and Obama, and he would be formidable.
I think my reaction may have been because I liked Cain a lot, and Santorum may just have been a little aggressive because he wasn’t being given much attention.
A clear violation of the UCMJ.
Paul should also be investigated by the House for this.
Are you crazy?
Rick Perry is not out. He’s just getting started.
Bachmann may be out. Huntsman was never really in.
Iowa is not God. It’s a small state that went temporarily insane.
I’m not saying Santorum isn’t a decent guy but I never had much use for him because he just seems like someone Obama could kick sand on at the beach.
And Obama is the world’s biggest sissy.
Who is ahead?
It depends on what u call money!
****************
9 million dollars going into NH and SC— That’s what I call money.
So, is his money drying up as you indicated? That was your point. Or, are you now conceding your were wrong on the facts, and were merely being vitriolic?
“OBAMA would love to blow Santorum’s nose for him”No your just reliably. “ <<
No your just reliably? bly, bley, re, relia. LOL. Don’t get so flustered.
So well put. Lol.
Santorum is NOT pathetic. He is a Christian who is willing to stand dup and speak his mind.
God bless him and his family of eight.
Santorum down 13 - 92 percent in.
Still anybody’s show.
Welcome to FR, douchebag.
Moderates who think bible bashing, baby-killing and sodomony are winning issues need to get real.
A total of 28 delegates were at stake tonight.
With 25% of the vote, Mitt got seven of them.
It takes 1,150 to make a majority at the convention.
This thing is far from settled.
