Newt Gingrich has a large lead in Minnesota...for the moment. Our weekend polling there found him with 36% to 18% for Mitt Romney, 17% for Rick Santorum, and 13% for Ron Paul.
If Santorum's out of the race by the time Minnesota's vote comes around it could work to Gingrich's further advantage. Santorum voters prefer Gingrich to Romney 44-20 if they had to pick between the two and overall Minnesota Republicans pick Gingrich 50-29 in a head to head with Romney.

Whoooooo-hooooooo. Things are indeed looking up. The RINOs are in total melt down. They are probably having a secret meeting with Nancy Pelosi. Bwahahahahahaha. GO NEWT GO!
I know what the magic number is 1,144. Florida still has about 300 "soft delegates" and the winner of FL would likely receive the bulk of those depending how the race goes.
In SC, also a state penalized, as I recall, the soft delegate count (25) will depend on who won what congressional district. Gingrich as I remember won all those Cong districts except maybe one. Gingrich's soft and hard delegate count for SC is about 48 delegates won. Romney got probably just 2.
It will be zip, nada for Santo and zip for Paul in SC.
I disagree we can win Minnesota this time.
Obama’s job approval rating has averaged 44% in Gallup Daily tracking since the start of January. That is below the approval rating of seven out of eight previous incumbents at a comparable point in their presidencies. It exceeds the ratings of only one — Bill Clinton — in early January 1996.
With five of the eight former presidents who sought re-election — George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, and Lyndon Johnson — winning a second term, and three — George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Gerald Ford — losing, the January approval ratings do not appear to be strongly predictive of the election outcome.
However, by March of the re-election year, approval ratings for all of the prior presidents largely portended their fate. Ford’s, Carter’s, and the elder Bush’s March ratings were all well below 50%, while Clinton’s, Reagan’s, Nixon’s, and Johnson’s were above that mark. George W. Bush’s rating was 49%, right on the cusp.
Michelle Bachmann running for her seat again will help the tea party carry the day against the Obamintes in Minnesota.
Psst..Mitt true REPUBLICANS want you to go to the MARXIST (aka Democrat) Party, since you are almost like them...
We Iowans found out hind sight is 20/20. We were deceived by Romney’s drive-by assassination of Newt. I demand a revote. Newt will win hands down b/c we now know his carpet bomb strategy isn’t enough. Romney is showing that it takes more than money to win. His platitudes lack detail. Go Newt!!

You know what? I imagine the RNC isn’t rolling in money right now. Their resources are scarce BECAUSE they haven’t been supporting the true Conservative candidates the party’s base desires.

Great news. Outstanding. Particularly since Minnesota has been a state especially congenial to moderate and liberal Republicans. If Newt can beat Myth there, he can beat him in all but a handful of the most liberal states.
You Iowans had months of campaigning in your state and you still could not get it right.
