Romney takes fourth and is declared the winner. First place goes to Rick Santorum who is immediately declared a loser for not being able to win in New Hampshire. Ron Paul surprises everybody by taking 2nd place and not first, MSNBC declares it a travesty because the evil Christians must have came out in force to keep the only sane candidate from winning. Third place goes to Newt, who having failed to exceed expectations by the same amount that Santorum did, becomes just a media afterthought. Perry takes fifth place and thus becomes the third and final media ordained ‘ticket’ punched in the Iowa caucuses, after Romney and Paul. Bachmann earns as much as Cain and Palin combined then goes on TV saying that proves that she deserves both their supporters votes in the future as a result.

Winners of the Iowa Caucus who didn’t get the nomination:
1972 Muskie D
1980 Bush R
1988 Gephardt D, Dole R
1992 Harkin D
2008 Huckabee R
With 40% of likely caucus goers saying they could still change their mind at the last minute, you might as well throw darts at a list of the candidates or pick names out of a hat. Newt has already predicted that he won’t win. I’ll predict that Bachman won’t win either.

Gee, for once we agree. It’s gonna be Romney. And the so-called “real conservatives” are either going to have to hold their noses and vote for him or somehow convince a third-party candidate like Santorum to run and basically hand the election to Obama.
I’m looking forward to coming back here in a few months to hear the variations on the theme, “Well, I don’t like Romney either, but I’m sending him money and voting for him because we can’t have another four years of Barack.” Conservative values be damned, you’re all going to wind up voting for Mitt, a former pro-choice, pro-gay, anti-gun, pro-mandate left-of-centrist flip-flopper.

Paul 2nd
Santorum 3rd
Gingrich 4th
Everyone else
The GOP elite has decided Paul can’t be the nominee, so Romney is spending all his money going after Gingrich (since Santorum has 0 name recognition and almost no money). Romney is trading at 80% on intrade, the place where people put up actual money to support their beliefs.
The result of the caucus will be to narrow the field to Romney, crazy Paul, no name Santorum and weepy Gingrich. Romney can go after Santorum and put Gingrich out of his misery shortly after NH. Conservatives will try to rally around Santorum, but his fund raising ability and lack of name recognition will end his campaign by March-April. Paul is already a nonstarter for most conservatives and Romney will be the nominee.
In the general Obama will portray Romney as a flip flopper and win the election. The question should be why so many conservatives prefer a 2nd Obama term over a Ron Paul presidency.

Nazis and Communists WERE best friends, cuddled up next to each other on the left end of the political spectrum.
Nazi, as we all know here, is a slang contraction for the name National Socialist Party—the party of Hitler, you know.
National SOCIALIST Party.
It was only when Adolf stabbed his buddy Uncle Joe in the back by breaking the treaty between Germany and Russia that it became necessary to redefine the National SOCIALIST Party and move it, at least on paper, to the other end of the ideological spectrum.

Did Santorum Strike Nerve?
Accuracy in Academia ^ | January 3, 2012 | Malcolm A. Kline
Whether he wins the Iowa Caucuses or not, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has apparently hit a raw nerve in higher education. “Let’s look at colleges and universities,” he said in Mason City, Iowa. “They’ve become indoctrination centers for the left.”
“Should we be subsidizing that?”
is that crying?
bardolfJanuary 3, 2012 / 7:53 pm
Big mistake my friend. Iowa has 2 excellent public universities in U of Iowa and Iowa State that Iowans take pride in. There is also Grinnell a top notch liberal arts university and numerous others.
I can understand why being an alum of Joe Paterno’s State Pen U makes Santorum ashamed. Maybe his time in the Tau Epsilon fraternity gave him the clarity to see the modern university for the indoctrination center that it is, snort. He certainly doesn’t know how to run a campaign, he got hammered by nearly 20% as an incumbent.
He has put his law degree to good use though: In one case he represented the World Wrestling Federation, arguing that professional wrestling should be exempt from federal anabolic steroid regulations because it was not a sport.

No, you silly silly goose, you did not mention students. I did, when I suggested that perhaps a column in the R.U. would let your students see your sneering contempt for various demographics.
“Potty mouth”? You whimper about comments on your effete persona and then you get all fluttery about the word “bitch”—used as a verb, no less. Hint: Surly peevishness and, yes, bitchiness, are hardly qualities that come across as very manly. Not my fault. Don’t bitch-slap the messenger.
Has it occurred to you that if you had posted anything even remotely political, instead of simpering sniping, you would have a different image?
But no, you snap into a hyperemotional hissy fit during which you blurt out your condescension for, as far as I can see, people older than you, women, people who live in mobile homes, people in agriculture, people who ride horses, members of the GOP, and so on.

Don’t flatter yourself. It is only out of faux chivalry that Mark and Matt don’t moderate your use of the word “bitch” as vulgarity. Together with the fact that you are nearly the only poster posing as a female.

You pretense to be a strong woman is belied by your pseudo-victimization at each turn. You jump into the middle of conversations, begging for attention when none of the boys are giving you the time of day.
You are looking like a desperate girl hoping some boy will pick her to dance at the ho down or perhaps for a paternal pat on the head. Contribute something interesting once in a while and you won’t need to rely on the putdowns you mastered in grade schools.

I am always intrigued by the choices you offer those few who bother to read your shrill screeds. Today it is the choice of seeing you as one who purposely lies to try to make a point, one who simply has absolutely horrible reading comprehension, or one totally ignorant of history.
Not, you understand, that they are mutually exclusive. You’ve shown that often enough in the past.
Hitler turned on Stalin, or if you prefer, Germany turned on Russia, BEFORE WW II. It was Hitler’s breaking of their treaty that put them on opposite sides during the war.
Prior to this betrayal, yes, Hitler and Stalin WERE buds, and even after the treaty was broken Hitler’s party was the National Socialist Party.
So: The lie is that I expressed the belief that “…Nazi’s (sic) and Communists were friends at some point during WW2 ..” . The inability to process the written word could be part of that, if the error is just a stupid mistake instead of a lie. And as for the ignorance of history, well, you obviously do not know of the long-standing alliance between Hitler and Stalin prior to WW II.

The first pact was an economic agreement, which Ribbentrop and Molotov signed on August 19, 1939.
The economic agreement committed the Soviet Union to provide food products as well as raw materials to Germany in exchange for furnished products such as machinery from Germany.
During the first years of the war, this economic agreement helped Germany bypass the British blockade.
The Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact
On August 23, 1939, four days after the economic agreement was signed and a little over a week before the beginning of World War II, Ribbentrop and Molotov signed the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact. (The pact is also referred to as the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact and the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact.) Publicly, this agreement stated that the two countries – Germany and the Soviet Union – would not attack each other. If there were ever a problem between the two countries, it was to be handled amicably. The pact was supposed to last for ten years; it lasted for less than two.
What was meant by the terms of the pact was that if Germany attacked Poland, then the Soviet Union would not come to its aid. Thus, if Germany went to war against the West (especially France and Great Britain) over Poland, the Soviets were guaranteeing that they would not enter the war; thus not open a second front for Germany.
In addition to this agreement, Ribbentrop and Molotov added a secret protocol onto the pact – a secret addendum whose existence was denied by the Soviets until 1989.
The Secret Protocol
The secret protocol held an agreement between the Nazis and Soviets that greatly affected Eastern Europe. For the Soviets for agreeing to not join the possible future war, Germany was giving the Soviets the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania). Poland was also to be divided between the two – along the Narew, Vistula, and San rivers.
The new territories gave the Soviet Union the buffer (in land) that it wanted to feel safe from an invasion from the West. It would need that buffer in 1941.
Impacts of the Pact
When the Nazis attacked Poland in the morning on September 1, 1939, the Soviets stood by and watched. Two days later, the British declared war on Germany and World War II had begun. On September 17, the Soviets rolled into eastern Poland to occupy their “sphere of influence” designated in the secret protocol.
Because of the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, the Soviets did not join the fight against Germany, thus Germany was successful it its attempt to safeguard itself from a two-front war.
The Nazis and the Soviets kept the terms of the pact and the protocol until Germany’s surprise attack and invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941.
******************
I stand corrected: There WAS a relationship between Russia and Germany “..at some point during WW2..” —between September 1, 1939, and June 22, 1941.

‘Mischief’ voters push Paul to front of GOP race[Dems started playing mind games with GOP primary]
Washington Examiner ^ | Byron York, The Examiner’s chief political correspondent
In Iowa, according to Rasmussen, just 51 percent of Paul supporters consider themselves Republicans. In New Hampshire, the number is 56 percent, according to Andrew Smith, head of the University of New Hampshire poll.
The same New Hampshire survey found that 87 percent of the people who support Romney consider themselves Republicans. For Newt Gingrich, it’s 85 percent.
So who is supporting Paul? In New Hampshire, Paul is the choice of just 13 percent of Republicans, according to the new poll, while he is the favorite of … 26 percent of Democrats who intend to vote in the primary.

GMB,
What that shows is that going out among the folks, traveling to all 99 counties and holding several hundred town hall meetings can make up for a shortage in the money department. A TV ad can express a particular fact or perception, but an actual person can spell out in detail what the ad distorted or didn’t say. Whoever wins the GOP nomination should take heed of that, because Obama is going to have a money edge in the general.
Blogs For Victory 
Romney takes fourth and is declared the winner. First place goes to Rick Santorum who is immediately declared a loser for not being able to win in New Hampshire. Ron Paul surprises everybody by taking 2nd place and not first, MSNBC declares it a travesty because the evil Christians must have came out in force to keep the only sane candidate from winning. Third place goes to Newt, who having failed to exceed expectations by the same amount that Santorum did, becomes just a media afterthought. Perry takes fifth place and thus becomes the third and final media ordained ‘ticket’ punched in the Iowa caucuses, after Romney and Paul. Bachmann earns as much as Cain and Palin combined then goes on TV saying that proves that she deserves both their supporters votes in the future as a result.
doug

Romney will win with 25%

With 40% of likely caucus goers saying they could still change their mind at the last minute, you might as well throw darts at a list of the candidates or pick names out of a hat. Newt has already predicted that he won’t win. I’ll predict that Bachman won’t win either.
What puzzles me is why we make such a fuss over a state with 6 electoral votes and less than 1/100 of the nation’s population.
…why we make such a fuss over a state with 6 electoral votes and less than 1/100 of the nation’s population.
Good point. And the way the primaries are done this year, Iowa is less important than past years. Florida will determine the winner, and I am of the mind that Romney has it pretty much in the bag.
Gee, for once we agree. It’s gonna be Romney. And the so-called “real conservatives” are either going to have to hold their noses and vote for him or somehow convince a third-party candidate like Santorum to run and basically hand the election to Obama.
I’m looking forward to coming back here in a few months to hear the variations on the theme, “Well, I don’t like Romney either, but I’m sending him money and voting for him because we can’t have another four years of Barack.” Conservative values be damned, you’re all going to wind up voting for Mitt, a former pro-choice, pro-gay, anti-gun, pro-mandate left-of-centrist flip-flopper.

The GOP elite has decided Paul can’t be the nominee, so Romney is spending all his money going after Gingrich (since Santorum has 0 name recognition and almost no money). Romney is trading at 80% on intrade, the place where people put up actual money to support their beliefs.
The result of the caucus will be to narrow the field to Romney, crazy Paul, no name Santorum and weepy Gingrich. Romney can go after Santorum and put Gingrich out of his misery shortly after NH. Conservatives will try to rally around Santorum, but his fund raising ability and lack of name recognition will end his campaign by March-April. Paul is already a nonstarter for most conservatives and Romney will be the nominee.
In the general Obama will portray Romney as a flip flopper and win the election. The question should be why so many conservatives prefer a 2nd Obama term over a Ron Paul presidency.

Did Santorum Strike Nerve?
Accuracy in Academia ^ | January 3, 2012 | Malcolm A. Kline
Whether he wins the Iowa Caucuses or not, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has apparently hit a raw nerve in higher education. “Let’s look at colleges and universities,” he said in Mason City, Iowa. “They’ve become indoctrination centers for the left.”
“Should we be subsidizing that?”
is that crying?
Big mistake my friend. Iowa has 2 excellent public universities in U of Iowa and Iowa State that Iowans take pride in. There is also Grinnell a top notch liberal arts university and numerous others.
I can understand why being an alum of Joe Paterno’s State Pen U makes Santorum ashamed. Maybe his time in the Tau Epsilon fraternity gave him the clarity to see the modern university for the indoctrination center that it is, snort. He certainly doesn’t know how to run a campaign, he got hammered by nearly 20% as an incumbent.
He has put his law degree to good use though: In one case he represented the World Wrestling Federation, arguing that professional wrestling should be exempt from federal anabolic steroid regulations because it was not a sport.
baldork
and like Klintoon, barry and the Mooch who had to turn their licenses in.
must make you 3rd rate jr college “teachers” sooo proud.
snort
Guess that about sums up dolf’s contribution.
Check into that R.U. column yet? I can write to them and suggest it. The students might love to see how condescending you are outside the classroom.
GOOPER GOOPER GOOPER
I tell you, that dolf is just so darned witty. I’ll bet stuff like that just pops into his head, just pure inspiration.
Dorothy Parker would be so jealous—of the wit, the sophistication, the intellect, and of course for being out-bitched.
Amy
I haven’t said anything about students. I’ve made light of some universities football programs (I grew up in Big 8 country) and a cliche of animal house behavior evidenced by fraternities and loons like Sanitarium.
Your obsession with my manliness is frankly creepy. The Count is taken, but if you’re willing to clean up your potty mouth some geezer in a nearby trailer will allow you to cook him dinner. You’ll have to shut your big yapper though , because your opinions aren’t as relevant in real life as you imagine them to be while riding your horses.
When Obama wins in 2012 it will be primarily due to people like you and clueless living in fantasy land. Fish riding a bicycle, I wonder what old liberal hag first spouted that nonsense?
And there you again with your ageism and elitism.
No, you silly silly goose, you did not mention students. I did, when I suggested that perhaps a column in the R.U. would let your students see your sneering contempt for various demographics.
“Potty mouth”? You whimper about comments on your effete persona and then you get all fluttery about the word “bitch”—used as a verb, no less. Hint: Surly peevishness and, yes, bitchiness, are hardly qualities that come across as very manly. Not my fault. Don’t bitch-slap the messenger.
Has it occurred to you that if you had posted anything even remotely political, instead of simpering sniping, you would have a different image?
But no, you snap into a hyperemotional hissy fit during which you blurt out your condescension for, as far as I can see, people older than you, women, people who live in mobile homes, people in agriculture, people who ride horses, members of the GOP, and so on.
I repeat: Check into that R.U. column yet? I can write to them and suggest it. The students might love to see how condescending you are outside the classroom.
Amy
Don’t flatter yourself. It is only out of faux chivalry that Mark and Matt don’t moderate your use of the word “bitch” as vulgarity. Together with the fact that you are nearly the only poster posing as a female.
The thread is the Iowa caucus of which you’ve contributed 0 but insults. Your belief that Nazi’s and Communists were friends at some point during WW2 pretty much puts you into the tinfoil category.
You pretense to be a strong woman is belied by your pseudo-victimization at each turn. You jump into the middle of conversations, begging for attention when none of the boys are giving you the time of day.
You are looking like a desperate girl hoping some boy will pick her to dance at the ho down or perhaps for a paternal pat on the head. Contribute something interesting once in a while and you won’t need to rely on the putdowns you mastered in grade schools.
Meow
Oh, dolf, take a pill or something. So you got beat up by a girl—it’s not as if THAT’S never happened before. I’ll bet you flapped your hands and gums at them, too, sniveling that they only whupped your scrawny heinie because there is something wrong with THEM.
I am always intrigued by the choices you offer those few who bother to read your shrill screeds. Today it is the choice of seeing you as one who purposely lies to try to make a point, one who simply has absolutely horrible reading comprehension, or one totally ignorant of history.
Not, you understand, that they are mutually exclusive. You’ve shown that often enough in the past.
Hitler turned on Stalin, or if you prefer, Germany turned on Russia, BEFORE WW II. It was Hitler’s breaking of their treaty that put them on opposite sides during the war.
Prior to this betrayal, yes, Hitler and Stalin WERE buds, and even after the treaty was broken Hitler’s party was the National Socialist Party.
So: The lie is that I expressed the belief that “…Nazi’s (sic) and Communists were friends at some point during WW2 ..” . The inability to process the written word could be part of that, if the error is just a stupid mistake instead of a lie. And as for the ignorance of history, well, you obviously do not know of the long-standing alliance between Hitler and Stalin prior to WW II.
The first pact was an economic agreement, which Ribbentrop and Molotov signed on August 19, 1939.
The economic agreement committed the Soviet Union to provide food products as well as raw materials to Germany in exchange for furnished products such as machinery from Germany.
During the first years of the war, this economic agreement helped Germany bypass the British blockade.
The Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact
On August 23, 1939, four days after the economic agreement was signed and a little over a week before the beginning of World War II, Ribbentrop and Molotov signed the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact. (The pact is also referred to as the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact and the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact.) Publicly, this agreement stated that the two countries – Germany and the Soviet Union – would not attack each other. If there were ever a problem between the two countries, it was to be handled amicably. The pact was supposed to last for ten years; it lasted for less than two.
What was meant by the terms of the pact was that if Germany attacked Poland, then the Soviet Union would not come to its aid. Thus, if Germany went to war against the West (especially France and Great Britain) over Poland, the Soviets were guaranteeing that they would not enter the war; thus not open a second front for Germany.
In addition to this agreement, Ribbentrop and Molotov added a secret protocol onto the pact – a secret addendum whose existence was denied by the Soviets until 1989.
The Secret Protocol
The secret protocol held an agreement between the Nazis and Soviets that greatly affected Eastern Europe. For the Soviets for agreeing to not join the possible future war, Germany was giving the Soviets the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania). Poland was also to be divided between the two – along the Narew, Vistula, and San rivers.
The new territories gave the Soviet Union the buffer (in land) that it wanted to feel safe from an invasion from the West. It would need that buffer in 1941.
Impacts of the Pact
When the Nazis attacked Poland in the morning on September 1, 1939, the Soviets stood by and watched. Two days later, the British declared war on Germany and World War II had begun. On September 17, the Soviets rolled into eastern Poland to occupy their “sphere of influence” designated in the secret protocol.
Because of the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, the Soviets did not join the fight against Germany, thus Germany was successful it its attempt to safeguard itself from a two-front war.
The Nazis and the Soviets kept the terms of the pact and the protocol until Germany’s surprise attack and invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941.
******************
I stand corrected: There WAS a relationship between Russia and Germany “..at some point during WW2..” —between September 1, 1939, and June 22, 1941.
Excellent political commentary, dolf—you really hit upon the essence of the positions and policies of the candidates. Nice to see you have your priorities straight and your grasp of political nuance intact.
Though I have to admit, seeing you comment on the manliness of others is a tad bit like watching Rosie O’Donnell lecture on civility.
Or like watching a fish trying to ride a bicycle.
“Or like watching a fish trying to ride a bicycle.”
Pics or videos or it didn’t happen.:P
I’d say Mitt Romney will come out on top tonight…but I really don’t want to see him become our next President. I would rather see someone like Newt Gingrich or Michelle Bachmann become the nominee, because they are way above Obama on experience insofar as it relates to handling the duties of the Presidency.
That said, we get we get…I mean, anyone is better than what we got!!
jer
LOL
you bet
I like Santorum, Perry, Bachmann, Gingrich, romney, paul, Satan, Ochimpy
in that order.
Thanks for living up to my every prediction guys. The rationalizing is really impressive and you’ve only just started! Keep it up! Go Mitt!

“dustbin of history”—sounds like one of the old CPUSA slogans.
Would you prefer Ron Paul or another 4 years of Obama? – barstool
I prefer Austrailia. That choice would surely represent the end of America as I knew it.
Jack,
I am interested in your rationale for being an Obama supporter. You’re obviously a man of strict principle, and surely you can’t support killing American citizens over seas. So instead of mocking others, how about explaining yourself?
You’re obviously a man of strict principle, and surely you can’t support killing American citizens over seas.

What is Austrailia?
What is America as you know it? (I am assuming know is not in the biblical sense but with people who dodge simple questions is is hard to tell )

it is the 57 th state where Ochimpy’s BC is.
Romney, Paul, and Santorum in a three way tie. Very interesting. Since Iowa does not have a good record of picking the eventual nominee, can we count all three of these guys out?
Wow!

Santorum 24%
mittens 24%
ru-paul 22% awwwwwww
Going to be an interesting year, It looks like we finally have a “not romney” Rick Santorum is a bit of a big spender but if I am forced to vote for the lesser of evils he would be it.
Lets see if he can keep it up. Lets have Santorum/Bachman in 2012. 🙂
GMB
Lets have Santorum/Bachman in 2012.
Yuuuup
that would make our sooth Sayer libbys heads collectively explode…..
S = 25%
romulin = 25%
ru=paul 22%
S = 25
romulin = 25
ru-paul the spoiler = 21
take rupaul, newt, bachmann, cain, huntsmann, etc out of the equation…..= S
Looking forward to how Santorum does in New Hampshire and South Carolina. If he can keep it close in those two states I would be hopeful.
I agree the rest of the pack should just drop out. Paul will be gone after South Carolina and that would leave a clear choice.
I am hoping that March 23 will mean something.
Fla votes the 26th of jan, straw votes has S ahead of the pack.
If S wins Fla it will be a show stopper.
even if romulin wins by a tiny margin, this is HUGE for S
Neoconehead
Straw polls in Iowa had Bachmann ahead of the pack. She is currently last.
How about an actual poll in FLA, oh yeah Tampa Bay Times
Fla poll: Romney 27%, Gingrich 26%, Paul 5, Bachmann 4, Perry 4
Intrade now has Romney at 82% for the nomination. The point in Iowa for Romney was to eliminate Perry and Gingrich not Paul or Huntsman or Sanitarium.
baldork
How about an actual poll in FLA, oh yeah Tampa Bay Times
the margin of error in THAT pole is?

GMB,
They say Romney has a lot of support in New Hampshire. So between New Hampshire and South Carolina…South Carolina will be Santorum’s best shot of the two.
Looks to be a tough race all the way around.
I am not counting Santorum out for anything. Where was Santorum during the repubs flovor of the month contest? On the bottom below Bachman.
Like I said, just keep it close. Like Neo said, Florida will a show stopper. Nationally Romney isin’t doing much better than the 24% he is winning in Iowa.
Lets wait and see.

Should Santorum skip New Hampshire and concentrate on South Carolina? I’m torn. Not much chance for Santorum to win in New Hampshire but I think he should make Romney fight for it.

“a NO contender, lightweight, polling at 10% comes to within 41 votes for the win.” – Neoconehead
People aren’t voting for Santorum. They are voting against Mitt.
Some dose of reality is in store before you waste too much of the princesses $$. As of now, intrade has Romney at 83% chance of winning the nomination. He has eliminated governor Perry and seriously deflated Newt. Santorium couldn’t even make it onto the Virginia ballot.
baldork
As of now, intrade has Romney at 83%
Stuck on stupid…….
I sent Santorum a contribution last week, before his surge really took off, so I was really happy to see him pull this off. I’ve always liked him a lot, have seen him speak at CPAC and just wanted him to develop a little more polish and maturity.
And he has.
This could not have turned out better. A tie between the least palatable person for the right-wing nut jobs and the least palatable person for virtually everyone else.
This. Is. Fantastic.

a DULL one.
Face it Jack, barky is toast. Even Darth Mittens will beat him. Keep up the hopeful thoughts though.
I don’t think Mitt beats Obama though it’ll be close. Actually, given actual campaigning abilities vs. theoretical abilities maybe Mitt is the only one that can beat Obama.
I’m surprised at how Bachmann collapsed in the end.
Bardolf, get your head out of the main line media please. Darth Mittens will have a tough time of it but will beat barky. barky is no where near as popular as the media would lead you to belive.
They said the same thing about jimmuh in 79-80. He would beat that cowboy Reagan easily.
HAH!
baldork
my dog beats Ochimpy……
In the PPP poll, 48 percent of Bachmann supporters said that Santorum was their second choice.
Perry supporters also most often cited Santorum as their second choice (27 percent),
followed closely by Paul (25 percent).
Santorum also has the lowest unfavorable rating (30 percent) and highest favorability rating (60 percent) of any other candidate.
The first time an Obama voter confided in me that she and her husband were beginning to think they made a mistake was about three weeks after the inauguration. And that phenomenon has only picked up momentum since then.

I’ll convince her RS is the man.

Dolf, You’d don’t think whoever wins the GOP nomination won’t have an ad with the situation room photo showing Obama slouching in his chair, still in his golf jacket, because they had to drag him off the golf course to be part of the photo-op as the Bin-laden op went down? My guess is that it will eventually become common knowledge that he was barely even an ancillary part of the operation, or, more likely, an impediment to it like he was with the Somali pirate fiasco.
Lolzer big time!! Rumor has McCain endorsing Romney tomorrow. Kiss of death!!
Smack.
GMB
ROTFLMAO……..
Just listened to the speeches from Santorum and Romney, and found Santorum’s to be so much more compelling than Romney’s canned rehash of the same old same old. There is a geniuneness about Santorum that has always shone through, but he has matured as a speaker and become quite impressive.
I see the dolts are already trying to invent pweshuss snotty nicknames, a sure sign that he is seen as a threat to the RRL.
flip flopper mitt, meet flip flopper JFnK (viet Nam vet) your ship has just been torpedoed.
Amy
Go take your meds. Santorum is a threat to nobody. He lost as a senator by 20 percent AS AN INCUMBENT. He couldn’t get on the ballot in some states. Romney has the big money.
RICK 29,908
MITT 29,874
34 vote lead for Santorum.
The county by county map makes me sick as it reminds me of my state when it comes to elections. Here the republican candidates win 85% of the counties, yet lose the elections – showing that property owners are for republicans in general. Well, in Iowa, Romney won very few counties compared to Santorum, is it possible that Romney is a bit like our democrats, just liberal enough to appeal to inner cities and not conservative enough to appeal to property owners.

‘Mischief’ voters push Paul to front of GOP race[Dems started playing mind games with GOP primary]
Washington Examiner ^ | Byron York, The Examiner’s chief political correspondent
In Iowa, according to Rasmussen, just 51 percent of Paul supporters consider themselves Republicans. In New Hampshire, the number is 56 percent, according to Andrew Smith, head of the University of New Hampshire poll.
The same New Hampshire survey found that 87 percent of the people who support Romney consider themselves Republicans. For Newt Gingrich, it’s 85 percent.
So who is supporting Paul? In New Hampshire, Paul is the choice of just 13 percent of Republicans, according to the new poll, while he is the favorite of … 26 percent of Democrats who intend to vote in the primary.

GMB,
What that shows is that going out among the folks, traveling to all 99 counties and holding several hundred town hall meetings can make up for a shortage in the money department. A TV ad can express a particular fact or perception, but an actual person can spell out in detail what the ad distorted or didn’t say. Whoever wins the GOP nomination should take heed of that, because Obama is going to have a money edge in the general.
