It's 0930 EST and there's nothing in the sidebar that looks like a live thread for the SC primary . . .

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

It’s early yet, perhaps the weather will pass and they will come out.

Well, I like Santorum a lot more than Newt.

Ever hear of the “gang of seven”?

“The Gang of Seven refers to a group of freshmen Republican U.S. Representatives, elected to serve in the 101st Congress in 1990. The group loudly condemned the House banking scandal and the Congressional Post Office scandal, forcing the congressional leadership to address the issues by ensuring the incidents stayed in the media and public eye. The group also criticized other Congressional perks, such as congressional subsidies for the Capitol Barbershop and Senate Restaurant.[1]

Two members of this group, Jim Nussle and John Boehner, were also key drafters of the Contract with America, which along with the banking and post office scandals helped the Republicans take control of the House in the 1994 elections.”

The seven Representatives were:[1]

John Boehner (OH-08)
Rick Santorum (PA-18)
Charles H. Taylor (NC-11)
Frank Riggs (CA-01)
Jim Nussle (IA-01)
Scott Klug (WI-02)
John Doolittle (CA-04)

You are right. I’ve asked the same question before about King David, and I’ve yet to have anyone respond to it.

Observation.....it’s amazing. How quickly a thread turns into everyone insulting everyone else’s choices. Good...but not great....entertainment. No fist fights please!

Oh.....and let the best candidate win! :)

It was a joke, Marcella, based on his silly comment to me about my 'emotions.'

Didn't you see the little winky face at the end?

Just for the record, we in Ohio don't vote for a while, and I haven't made my final decision between Newt and Rick. They both have strong and weak points. That's one of the reasons I'm watching today closely.

I will vote my conscience for the most solid conservative who can win, as I always do.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Surely you don’t know me very well.......and yes, GO NEWT!

[BenKenobi]

Wow, coming from you, that’s something.

Again - Santorum won, he earned his victory. It takes nothing away from Newt et al to acknowledge his efforts.

See if people are willing to pull the trigger on Newt - Newt was supposed to win Iowa, but didn’t.

Was reading that she was a major fundraiser for Hillary in the past, but made news when she came out to endorse John McCain in 2008.

I knew I’d seen her before.

“The caucus is way too decentralized and volunteer for any one person to control it. Even if they tried they’d need blind luck to make it happen”

Maybe you should go back and look at all the videos of how Obama manipulated all the Caucasus's and won the election by doing so.

[ohioWfan]

Jimmy Carter has absolutely nothing to do with anything I've said.

Nice try, though........even though it's been tried many times before.

I hope so. At 10:30, my precinct only had 125 voters.

If the turnout is this low, it will help Paul. At least it appears to be zero dem voters causing mischief.

Good afternoon dear FRiend

The day is half over...

just over 6 more exciting hours to go..

:)

I really do not care that Newt had affairs, because we do not know the reason why he had the affairs.
I feel that marriage is between two people, and the ex-wife could also be at fault for the failure of the marriage.
Withholding sex, being over possessive, clingy, bitchy can ruin a marriage.
Since we were not present, do not know the specifics, I am not going to judge.
Everyone is holding Santorum out as some kind of saint- but lets face it.
All these candidates are politicians. All politicians ( in my opinion)- are crooks.
I just want my crook that I vote for to make this country a great place to live, and promote American exceptionalism.

[ohioWfan]

Marcella didn't get the joke.

Kudos for her for sticking up for you, even though she missed the entire point.

[BenKenobi]

Notwithstanding the polls showing Newt in third, behind Santorum?

[greyfoxx39]

I’d be proud to sit down and have an A&W Rootbeer with that guy.

[faucetman]

LOL, but did you get rid of your dial phone?

[greyfoxx39]

;0)

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

LOL, That, and if he here wearing athletic glasses, we would likely sneak up behind him and snap the elastic band holding his glasses on.

Really though, as a person, he is quite decent, but as a leader, he needs to leave that up to the professionals.

Newt and Romney

Mano y Mutt

Wee Willie Mitty couldnt handle a debate alone on the stage with the Newt..
