We’re looking at the next president! Loving it!! GO MITT!!!

You smell funny.

[BenKenobi]

Good, because NH shows that Mitt is vulnerable to a SC blowout. He can’t break 40 anywhere except Manchester and the most liberal part of NH.

[Crichton]

Newt calls it like it is and is able to explain very complex issues in everyday terms.

Yeah, "capitalism is evil". Quite the message Newt is running with.

[parksstp]

Only bright side is Romney is below McCain’s 2008 numbers for now.

Between now and the 21st, any real conservatives need to get off the fence and endorse: That’s Palin, Cain, DeMint, etc.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Paint it!!!

[katiedidit1]

Perry isnt doing well at all....Gingrich and Santorum are neck and neck.

[show]

South Carolina Tea Party needs to support Newt !

[who knows what evil?]

Maybe NOW people will quit taking New Hampshire seriously...this is Ringling Bros. country...

[Gator113]

Yep.... ;>)

[CurlyBill]

Surprise! it’s Mittens, Paultard and Huntsman...1, 2, 3 strikes we are out or in big doo

Yeah. An open primary in a northeast liberal state. As always, by the time most of us vote the nomination may already be over. I blame the Republican establishment as much as I blame the media for all this.

[DJ MacWoW]

I see that you don’t post often. Just so you know, the owner of FR has said that he will not allow FR to be used to promote Mitt Romney.

[BenKenobi]

Let’s see.

Young. Check.

History major. Check.

Catholic. Check.

Supporting Santorum. Check.

[Strategerist]

Good, because NH shows that Mitt is vulnerable to a SC blowout.

Given that Romney is up 10% in the RCP poll average in SC, that seems rather unlikely.

If either Santorum or Gingrich drop out before the primary, the one remaining could possibly squeak out a win.

[jeltz25]

do you have any idea on what the final turnout #s will be based on the results so far.

Reason I ask is in 08 and 00 turnout for the GOP primary was around 235k and this year looks like it’ll be below that.

McCain won in 2000 with 115k and in 08 with 88k. Does it look like Romney will top either of those #s?

IBTZ?

[Gator113]

Don’t think it will be here long. LOL

We shall see....
