How can you say that the GOP is toast? Every primary/caucus has a different winner. It is obvious that the GOP is headed to a brokered convention. Then the RINOs will take over.

[Politicalmom]

Why?

That’s ridiculous. Romney brings money and votes, and pull in several states.

Hunter brings NOTHING.

Put Hunter in a post where he can do the job against illegal immigration.

[EGPWS]

The rain isn’t going to stop today either.

Rain?

In my neck of the woods if the car battery isn't frozen and the tank heater is working I'm on my way to vote. /snicker

[Lib-Lickers 2]

Fred is getting my vote in an hour,, it may not be crawling across glass but it’s nasty out there

[blam]

"Looks like Divine Intervention to me!"

I don't have a drought problem around my area anymore, lol.

Mitt gives the advantage of money for the campaign.

[EGPWS]

That’s ridiculous. Romney brings money and votes, and pull in several states.

Conservative conviction isn't worthy of ridicule.

If it's money and votes alone that are the focus, then lets push for a Bloomberg/Buffet ticket.

[Polybius]

People can take their time when they’re on a day off

No kidding. How many vote-before-work-people are going to get up at 7 am on a Saturday to vote?

Shouldn't we push for Saturday voting in our own States?

Tuesday voting favors the unemployed ...... who tend to be Democrats.

[Politicalmom]

You said “REALISTIC”. There is nothing realistic about Hunter as VP.

[alicewonders]

One can see divine providence in this, or not.

The way I see it, we prayed to the Lord and the Lord answers prayers. Whatever happens, it is the Lord's will. We have to give it to the Lord when we pray, and trust he will do what's best with it.

That said, I think dreary weather would be favorable for those who are more passionate to vote - I think it bodes well for Thompson!

[EGPWS]

There is nothing realistic about Hunter as VP.

VP selection is a POTUS in running decision based upon his/her mindset as to who would serve their administration best in that position.

Fred Thompson IMO would never chose Mitt Romney as second in command.

It would be a personal decision not a financial decision.

[Shady]

Glad you all are getting wet down there!!

[Politicalmom]

Not if it’s done for political and strategic reasons.

If it’s a choice between winning with Romney or losing, I would hope he would take Romney.

You really think Reagan CHOSE GWH Bush?

[EGPWS]

You really think Reagan CHOSE GWH Bush?

No.

Wasn't it Bledwin Rostenmeyer who chose GHWB?

[streetpreacher]

Unfortunately, Huckabee’s supporters are fanatics.

[streetpreacher]

Hunter is a statistical blip with an asterisk beside it.

[SuziQ]

Whatever combination of Romney/Thompson would be in my mind the Dream Team. I would prefer Thompson in the Number 1 spot and have Romney as Vice President. With his age at 60 now, he would be set for the Presidency when he turns 69, after Thompson has the Presidency for two terms.

I could certainly support that!

[EGPWS]

Hunter is a statistical blip with an asterisk beside it.

Irrelevent when it comes to a POTUS in running.

What was Dick Cheney's position in the primaries in the running for POTUS in '00?

2nd or 3rd?

Low turout...... I guess it depends upon the location, reporter, etc. From another article with Carl Cameron:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1956333/posts

Turnout is steady in the low country and lighter in the upstate. South Carolina Republican Party officials expect half a million votes will be cast provided the weather isn’t too lousy in the upstate.

[Hattie]

CBS just said Mitt projected to win the NV caucus.
