Friday the 13th.

[Boardwalk]

Go Newt!!

[HiTech RedNeck]

If all the non-Romneys could agree on who will bear the standard, Romney would soon be yesterday’s news.

[cotton1706]

Just did a quick average of this Rasumssen poll and the ARG poll posted a little further down

Romney: 28.5
Gingrich: 23
Paul: 18
Santorum: 11.5

[KansasGirl]

Conservatives have to make a move and unite behind a single candidate NOW or Romney is going to be the nominee even though he is uwanted by 75% of the GOP voters.

[xzins]

Rasmussen does not weight his republican primaries when he should be doing so.

The weightings should be: I. likely voters in the repub primary: 1. republican conservative 2. repub moderate/lib 3. independent conserve, 4. independ moderate/lib

I’m assuming cross-over voting is permitted in S Carolina. I don’t really know.

[parksstp]

This is not good news for Newt.

I have simulated 7 following counties so far and have Newt at 21.41%. He is flat.

Anderson
Richland
Charleston
Aiken
Abbeville
Allendale
Oconee

With Santorum at 16%, it seems that Perry is garnering more Evangelical support than I thought in the NW. This leads to suggest that those not supporting to Santorum are turning to Perry before going to Gingrich, which is not good.

Once again, Paul is also running higher. I had him in the 13-15%. His increase may bring down slightly Romney’s percentages in Columbia and Charleston.

Overall, Newt hasn’t gained and Santorum has lost ground to Perry. If Santorum (who I had at 21.71%) had lost ground to Newt, then Gingrich should have been up over 25%. The fact he isn’t leads me to believe Gingrich has issues in the NW part of the state and that Perry is taking more votes than I though.

[Eagle of Liberty]

In some way, shape or form, Gingrich and Santorum need to join forces.

[Logical me]

If we lose Gingrich we will lose America. Look how far America has gone to a communists like nation now under King Obama. Keep this shi! up and you can wave goodbye to your lifestyle and be a slave to the State.

[Leep]

If I have to vote for the nom today it would be Newt. Newt has overall has had higher numbers than Perry or Santorum who have been mostly battling for third.
The one time Newt has had lower numbers have mostly been a result of Romney/Paul smear job. Otherwise, Newts numbers would have been more consistent and higher.

[Skeez]

time for Rick to drop out and endorse newt

Newt/Rick 2012!

[Bigun]

Right now I feel like the guy in the movie Groundhog Day since I’ve seen this scenario play out SO many times before!

There are far more people in this country who call themselves conservative but when the smoke settles all we ever have left to vote for is socialism lite!

GO NEWT!

[RavenATB]

Rush talked recently about the New Hampshire exit polling for Ron Paul, saying the the polls indicated a large percentage of RP supporters had no intention of voting for Paul in the general election, but would vote for Obama. I’m trying to find a story with those exit poll numbers. Can anyone direct me to it?

Thanks

[SENTINEL]

Above all else, RINOs must be punished ! We are in a war for the survival of our country and Mitt Romney is the Benedict Arnold of 2012 ! This must be dealt with BEFORE we can win against our enemies the democrats.

I intend to write in George Washington for president and vote conservative on all other ballot measures.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

[Linda Frances]

I like everything about Newt except his issue with trustworthiness. We know the media will ask him unfair questions and how does he answer them? My husband was in the military, then DOD at Stratcom, and now he is one of those evil military contractors. Those of you who had to have a top secret clearance to do your job will understand these questions. How does he answer them or similar ones?

Newt, military and DOD employee can't get or can lose their top secret clearance for having an affair. One of the main reasons is they can be blackmailed. How can voters be sure you only had two affairs and not susceptible to blackmail? Andrea Mitchell

Newt, the obamas look like the ideal family, while you have had issues with your trustworthiness? How do the voter know they can trust you?

Perry has been the most consistent, consistently low. He needs to drop out and quit siphoning off the other votes.

[jonrick46]

Newt appears to be moving up. GO NEWT!

[baddog 219]

[dontgivein]

We need to make sure Huntsman DOESN’T drop out as his numbers will surely go to Romney if he does.

[wardaddy]

all other polls show Newt in margin of error....(-2)

this is a race between Mitt and Newt

forget looney Paul

if the others had a commitment to beat Mitt and give someone with a much stronger record a chance

they would drop out and endorse Newt...soon

but as one can tell...it is all bout Romney from any GOP person with a voice and they must be loving Newt, Rick and Rick dividing up the righty vote

what a waste

we may end up with a candidate somewhere between Nelson Rockefeller and Bush I
