PPP surveyed 400 likely Washington caucus voters between February 16th and 19th.

Polls does not show the fluidness of this election. Too old.

It shows the high watermark for Santo. What we want to see is from the AZ Debate onward of polls if Santorum can stand up to criticism that he never received the months before when he was 4th or 5th or 6th in the polls.

Unrelated, but I'd be interested to see if Paul's favorability ratings hold. Paul called Santorum a “fake” in the debate. Name calling usually has blowback, although it may not be relevant with Paul supporters.

Yes, Gingrich cleared the decks for Santorum to be the one to take on Romney. The guy is a gentleman.

Arguing for Mr. Rogers as the better candidate is like choking up hairballs.

All this handwringing and concern about Newt Gingrich, by worried ole Steelfish, when in fact, both Romney and Paul have Virginia all to themselves!

Yes, Gingrich cleared the decks for Santorum in Michigan to be the one to take on Romney. The guy is a gentleman.

I try to keep up with this great delegate chart.

Newt still in 2nd place - Romney should not have all 50 Florida delegates - GOPE changing the rules for Romney.

It wasn’t disasterous for any of the candidates.

Thank you very much, dear sod!

These silly calls for Newt Gingrich to drop out are silly, beyond silly.

I tried telling Steelfish on another thread, it’s all about “delegates”, NOT polls.

Don’t kid yourself. Newt isn’t the “only chance”, although I’d certainly vote for him.

Obama is defeating himself. If we hit $5-$6 gas for a while even RP could beat Obamalini.

there is a sudden interest in getting Newt out of the way by Santorum folks, when Santorum just flubbed the last debate won by Newt - and more and more folks are realizing the real vote count, etc.

Hey, I’ll admit it was foolish of Newt to ask Santorum to step aside when he did - and for the same reason now - the same advice would be equally as foolish coming from the other side.

Depressing ain’t it?

Pondering that Newt never had a ‘grand scheme’ or huge ego to run for POTUS - but did so in order to start a critical conversation which would encourage strong contenders. I honestly believe he would have stepped aside had someone shown the necessary talent, experience and leadership. Suspect he was like most of us - waiting for Palin - liked Perry and Cain - and had to step up and take charge against Romney. Santorum’s ‘surge’ is a surprise - but still too green and self-absorbed IMHO. This is not the time for a freshman - we need a Professor.

Right there with you, onyx! I was so apparent during the debate who our candidate should be. The person we choose needs to be able to think fast on his as the Obama team with rig any debates they agree to.

To quote a line from a favorite movie of my husband and son....."There can be only one!"

There is still a lot of water to flow before we can declare anyone the true front runner. After Super Tuesday we'll have about 35% of the delegates having been in some sort of selection process and then the herd may become better defined.

Gingrich, Newton Leroy "Newt" 838,882  27.49% 33   1.83% 10   2.08% 43   1.88% 29   1.27%
Santorum, Richard J. "Rick" 570,834  18.70% 16   0.89% 27   5.62% 43   1.88% 3   0.13%
Paul, Ronald E. "Ron" 338,564  11.09% 12   0.66% 23   4.79% 35   1.53% 8   0.35%

There are about 3% of the popular vote not shown which goes to a myriad of candidates such as Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Huntsman and various unknowns.

Oh my goodness, I can't type....

again...

Yes, and a Commander-in-Chief! Colonel Ollie North backing Gingrich means a lot to me.
