Even for a vanity, this is pathetic. You should at least spend a couple of paragraphs constructing an argument, if you can.

DON’T PICK RICK!!

If Santorum wins the nomination (God forbid), Obama wins four more years on that very day.

This is not just about electing a president, this is about the very survival of our country.

I agree with post #2. I will be at the caucus, but as of tonight I still consider myself an undecided, and will follow my best judgment and my heart when I fill in the name tomorrow. You need to be selling me on why I and others should pick Santorum and not assume we are going there to vote for him.

VOTE FOR RICK????

NO.

In an open caucus state either Santorum or Paul will win.

Either way, no credence should be given.

Since Newt, nor Rick, will be on the ballot in Virginia, I'm wondering why there have been no Posts on here encouraging Newt's and Rick's supporters in Virginia to vote for Ron Paul on Tuesday. Kook-daddy will not get the nomination anyhow, and that would slow RINO-Rom's momentum and be a dreadful loss for him. Are there not enough anti-Romney votes to stop RINO-Rom when he has just one opponent?

Maybe it's time for the anti-Romney vote to put up or shut up. If not, then let's just go ahead and coronate RINO-Rom now. Kook-Daddy came in Third in VA in '08, so this is doable. But, then, many Conservatives are so divisive and mean-spirited they couldn't unite to stop a toddler from running out into highway traffic. I mean just look at the divisiveness of this Thread we're on now. Hell, we deserve what we get.

To date I’ve refrained from expressing a strong interest pro/con in any of the candidates. You may find this event surrounding Santorum of interest. If you are a Steelers fan from PA you may even remember.

Santorum was my Senator and I strongly supported him in the beginning but not into his second term. I thought he spent most of his efforts looking after Rick and K street, and not constituents in PA.

He was never strong in opposing illegal immigration and in fact just the opposite. One of his policies along this line that aggravated me was when he arranged for thousands of Muslims to come and live in PA in 2004.

Our local paper stated that Santorum and Bush were supporting a special immigration deal whereby thousands of Russian Muslims were encouraged to come to PA and other places in the USA to be resettled on the taxpayer dime. As an concerned constituent I emailed Santorum on 8-4-2004 asking for the rationale and specifics, and I never received a reply.

To add some credibility to this story I attempted to find the original references about this deal but didn’t succeed because the original link as referenced in my email was dead. But I did search and find this and other FreeRepub links from 2004. If this is an issue then consider it. If it isn’t then disregard.

Color me completely ignorant.

A caucus in Washington state?

Where?

In 2008 we voted in the GOP primary by mail-in ballot.

I’ve actually been wondering when I would get mine.

I just returned from the Washington Caucus. Sorry if its not the news you want to see, but this I think will be the way it shakes out at the end of the day.

WA Caucus Report
Location: So. King County
My Table which sat 2 precincts had 11 people.

The vote tally was:
Romney 7
Santorum 1
Paul 1 ( a young kid)
Undecided 2
Newt 0

Despite the gauntlet of Ron Paul signs we had to drive through going into the caucus location, their voting numbers were very tiny. The number of people was unbelievable. I have been going to these things for the last three Presidential elections and this was the largest yet. Lots of first timers. Of my table of 11, all but me were first timers.
I’m not sure what gives with the 2 undecided votes. Why give up a beautiful Saturday morning to go vote for nobody?
