The exit polls shown on Drudge as late as 6PM,and the Monday poll cited on FR showing RS losing BOTH states by about 10% were PHONY, trying to bump up the numbers for one of the others. Milt, what do YOU know about this? Bob
I voted for Newt in GA. One thing I STILL like about Santorum, and in spite of his “warts...but they ALL have some...is his grassroots campaign strategy. This is the old way. People went door to door, or county to county, talked to people, shook hands, held babies, took pictures, etc. It lets the community know that the candidates see each voter as an individual, not taking anything for granted. Romney acts as if he is owed the nomination. Newt is Newt, but when he’s on, he’s awesome. But, I seriously think that he hurt himself when he attacked Romney and was too stubborn to see that the only person he was hurting was himself. That is Newt’s problem. He is stubborn. I agree with Michele Malkin and David Limbaugh, that although Rick Santorum is not my perfect candidate, he is the best man standing and still conservative. I’d love to see Newt pull this out, and I do hope, as I posted the other day, that both Santorum and Newt stay in, taking enough voted away from Romney to have a brokered convention. I personally would love to see Palin nominated to run against Obama. She is more than capable of taking him on and turning him into mincemeat. Why do you think he (Obama) has already started attacking her? He surely thinks it is possible.
Answers: No. No. No. No.
Polling firms don’t eliminate people in the “wrong” party when they poll. They ask if the person is planning to vote in the primary, and if so, they count their pick.
For your conspiracy to be rational, the conspirists, who according to the conspiracy WANT to make it look like Santorum has support, would have had to have LIED to pollsters about voting in the primary, thus suppressing Santorum’s poll numbers, and then showed up to vote to make him win.
If they were trying to help Santorum, they would have told pollsters they were voting for Santorum.
I doubt that many democrats are motivated enough to show up to vote just to mess up our primary. After all, REPUBLICANS are motivated enough to show up to vote.
Right Michigan dissected and picked apart exit poll claims about crossovers in Michigan.
It may have been the result of low turnout in the suburban counties where Romney needed to roll-up large raw vote totals to overcome his weakness in the rural counties.
Santorum’s grassroots efforts are growing in numbers everyday. The excitement is spreading. It works every time. When the average American gets behind the candidate who is most like themselves the formula works.
Because you can’t trust polls, duhh...
