Yeah, I’m a bit baffled at everyone’s shock, the results are very close to recent polling.
The only difference between the results so far and the polling is Paul’s extra 5% or so, likely the result of unusually high unaffiliated turnout (which may have been hard to predict or model in polling; of course, every time a poll DOES include anyone other than registered Republicans, FR has a cow over it.)
And now a public service message:
FUMR!!!
If Perry comes in last..he should drop out before SC and unite behind Newt
