Winner take all?

Good, now can he learn a conservative solution to the income tax? His progressive plan of 10% and 28% tax brackets is only to the right of Democrats.

Having been beaten into third place by Romney, will Gingrich get the message that his southern strategy is now in flames and withdraw?

This keeps up, it looks like a Santorum/Gingrich ticket. I can’t complain too much about getting that as the presidential team in 2013, though Santorum may have a campaign optics problem that the liberals will make out to look as though he wants to make the Fedguv an arm of the Roman Catholic Church. I don’t believe Santorum would actually govern that way, but you’re talking about liberals who monopolize the news media. This is an issue that Gingrich does not have.

[itsahoot]

That does it, he should drop out and pledge his candidates to Newt. </sarcasm>

[RIghtwardHo]

Awesome!!

Santorum wins 53%

Of what total vote? Thanks.

OF course, nobody actually lives in Kansas, and nobody cares at all what people in Kansas think. Rick is always running off to these no-nothing states that nobody wants to bother with.

Not like Gingrich, who only competes in the states with important people. As Gingrich says, anybody can win in backwards middle-america states that nobody gives a damn about.

I dislike caucus States intensely, but even at that prefer them over open primaries. Caucuses are like a private party at someones home and aren't as well attended as when voters attend as a primary election.

Used to be caucuses here in Oklahoma. Back in those days I was a Dem and during one never to be forgotten primary I spend hours trying to find the house where my precinct caucus was being held. After the 5th or 6th phone call it became clear that I was not wanted at the caucus and they weren't going to give me clear directions to that hidden home, which was out in the country. Democrats were pretty sleazy even then.

I would bet that less than 10% of the number of primary voters would actually attend a caucus rather than a voting election. So a very limited number of people choose the actual candidate. I tend to view the results of caucauses as very questionable given the small sample of people voting.

Great news.

Sweaterites, the others left because they didn’t care. This is a non-binding thing and most people don’t even vote in it. The actual delegate selection is a later event.
