No winner take all until April 1. We-don’t-have-to-follow-no-stinkin-rules Floriduh is being challenged.

Pawlenty the loser is bashing Newt 24/7.

Was Pawlenty bought off (in whatever coin) by Mitt? Wasn't he the one who pointed out early the similarities between ObamaCare and RomneyCare and came up with ObamneyCare or something, but a reporter or interviewer later asked him more about this and he just shied away from the topic?

ROmney will be finished if Tricia Erickson keeps getting local radio shows to promote her book: CAN MITT ROMNEY SERVE TWO MASTERS. Tricia’s father was a Bishop the same time Romney. She tells all from the inside position.

Gonna buy the book and donate it to the school library when done.

I think we are starting to see the full effect of Romney’s I don’t care about the poor/safety net comment, plus the coverage of Nevada just informed everyone who didn’t know that Romney is a Mormon.

I agree... these guys can pull a plurality among a number of these states... Santorum wins the Midwest, Gingrich wins in the South... and you put Romney’s abortion and gay rights record up and the convention and the coronation won’t happen.

I find Sanctimonium to be a more telegenic compassionate, big govt. conservative than Bush, but with one major tactical problem - his rhetoric is needlessly divisive and high stakes. He goes too far in his rhetorical defense of his social positions - he should not feel the need to brandish his conservative credentials over and over again. I am afraid this would turn off voters in droves (particularly women) in the general. He does not seem to have the discipline to hold back from sermonizing on social topics, i.e. too easy to take bait from questioners. I wish he had a smoother style which would deflect social questions and segue into economics.

Gingrich is actually more disciplined on taking bait on social questions - he is more apt to go off the rails on other topics, and he will pay a smaller price than Sanctimonium because of that. But both will score very poorly with women in the general because of different reasons - S because of his rhetorical indulgence on social topics and G because of his angry/mean demeanor which does not come across as cool and likeable. Unfortunately, Mullah Obama is a lot cooler in temperament than both S and G.

Bottom line - my concern with S and G is more on campaign tactics than policy. I can go with either. I am afraid they are both poor campaigners (although G may be a better debater).

Moroni of course, has a different problem, one of policy, but he is also showing himself to be less and less disciplined on the campaign trail. On paper, the only theoretical advantage Moroni has over S and G is one of electoral balance sheet - he will do better than S or G in swing states like NH, NV, MI and AZ because of different reasons. Also, I expect him to score much higher with women than either S or G. The problem with Moroni is his background (and now his gaffes) which may become too much of a millstone that could sink him.

Glad she put her contact information at the bottom. Wish Hannity would have her as a guest. She certainly has some impressive credentials.

[hoosiermama]

Not WHEN FLorida is reguired to play by the rules then he has 45.

[Utah Binger]

I live in a Mormon community of about 300. They are mostly uninformed or won’t listen to anything negative about their boy Mittens. Of course the town of Orderville is just two miles up the highway where the experiment in collectivism was tried before the turn of last century. Possibly they think Romney will bring that form of socialism and maybe even polygamy back.

And yes, they are mostly very poor here.

[hoosiermama]

A few things hit me when reading the threads this week.

One how much money the Mormons made by owning casinos, selling guns on line etc.

One of the mormons explained away Romney position as a Bishop....He was just the money manager.....(DIdn't want to start a fight but my mind said "What no faith based activities") The second. How poor many of their members were, and how many qualified for “food stamps”

[Utah Binger]

Wish Hannity would have her as a guest

Or Mark Levin.

[hoosiermama]

Or both....I’d be happy with both

Mark could even give her book a shout out next time he was substituting for Rush.

As I said “Trisha Erickson certainly has the credetials” not only to write the book, but her experience in the political arena are impressive.

Is Minnesota a winner-take-all state?

---

Actually no delegates will be awarded in these upcoming battles. They are caucuses and must go from the precinct level to county/state where the delegates are awarded. The Missouri election is nothing more than a non-binding primary excercise with their caucuses to be held in Mar.

[Utah Binger]

I lived in Vegas back in 1964-65. At that time I was still a member. Many of the casino managers were Mormons. That other mob owned the casinos.

Fast Coyote can tell you more about Mormons in Vegas.

Excellent!

"Santorum is gonna destroy Romney tomorrow"

Nope, he is going to pull enough votes away from Newt to hurt him. Romeny can buy his way to the top Newt is working his way.

[TexasFreeper2009]

listen, I am a huge Newt supporter, but we have got to start think strategically here. What is important at the moment is to stop Romney’s momentum. If Santorum is polling way ahead 1 day before the vote then I would encourage all Newt supporters that live in the states voting today to switch to Santorum for the day. Just to stop Mitt from wrapping this up.
