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.
What’s the basis for your racism charge?
You’re right. Palin been such a disappointment to millions.
She needs to go BOLD for once this cycle.
Endorse Newt or Santorum, even.
That, sir, was a gentlemanly comment.
Really? I am not watching, just reading this thread, but that sounds great. Good to know Miss Sarah is still driving the pundits crazy.
LOL. The weather channel has too many commercials!
I am going to watch the local news at the top of the hour to see how cold it’s going to get here tonight!
Shenanigans!!!! We wait all night and they suddenly jump from 50 to 81 percent reporting and PRESTO Romney is in the lead!! I smell a rat.
60% in.
Santorum 26%, Mittens 24%, RuPaul 22%, Newt 14%, Perry 11%, Michele 6%
It may be to file suit for entrance into the SC debate...

Now Santorum again at 88% in? That was fast.
Freddie Newt’s Swift Boat, filled with ton’s of baggage, is about to swamp.
Darn, I hoped Santorum had enough of a lead. Down by just shy of 500.
Two interesting question marks are Orange City and Sioux Center. Both are college towns, but both are heavily Dutch Reformed. If they follow the pattern of Pella, which despite having Central College went for Santorum and not for Ron Paul, those areas could put significant numbers of voters into the Santorum camp.
With 30 days notice, one can switch parties in all closed primary states, such as FL. No notice is needed for the fifteen or so states with open primaries, such as SC, GA, and AL.
You post the words, pro-life, in sneer quotes, then go on to suggest that a mother be given 30 days after a positive pregnancy test to do what, exactly? Murder her unborn child?
You ought to get the ZOT for that statement.
NOW ITS TIED AGAIN
this is crazy
Right. Rubio is a natural born citizen.
On Foxnews results site they have Romney headquarters streaming...and Romney headquarters has CNN on....so you hear Wolf Blitzer! LOL

How popular is Sanford NOW in SC? How will Newt’s similar personal morals go over there? If Newt were running with a (D) behind him that wouldn’t be a problem, but with an (R) I’d think there’d at least be second thoughts.
What a night.
Well by golly, if Fox news keeps things going their way, they should be able to get Obama’s reelection guaranteed, well before the general even begins.
Every single on of those Fox new bastards make me sick.
