Man, hard to keep ahead — it’s been stuck at 96% for awhile and now up to 98% and Mittens is up again. Grrr...

“John McCain to Endorse Mitt Romney in NH Tomorrow.”

HUH? you need to study your math a bit more.

Your percentages would be the same, if both groups are reduced by an equal percentage amount.

Well, yes, as I was saying, that obsession of yours could serve as a night light.

There is a debate Sat. night. Perry will have to decide whether to go or not. If he doesn’t, that’s it.

The VP pick should be the bulldog of the ticket, Newt or Perry would be good in that role, while Santorum keeps it positive.

Remember Hunter 4 years ago? I supported him and still think he was "quality." and he was completely ignored except by a few here in FR)

He was my candidate, although I knew he didn't stand a chance. Still have much love and respect for this "quality" man :)

Hey, I thought you were banned. ;-)

It’s late. Romney’s going to win by a couple hundred votes. Santorum’s the real winner.

Santorum quotes C.S. Lewis in a tribute to his wife.

I would've preferred some Tolkien quote since it was his birthday today.

Karl Rove on Faux news just came on and said Romney will win by 100 votes but Santorum would come out to the mics first and claim victory. That reminds me of something somewhere back in time...

“McCain’s endorsing him tomorrow”

Who cares what a fat bubblehead blonde blogger has to say? Uh...oh, you mean her Dad? Well, that will have about the same impact...

It will be interesting to see the gender breakdown in Iowa for Gingrich. With his 13% finish in Iowa, he did not get a whole lot of votes. And if one assumes there is a 50-50 split of male-female votes, then he got 6.5 % women voters. Not good

Your math is "not good".

Assuming a 50-50 split then Newt got 13% of the female vote, not 6.5%.

Even if Santorum wins tonight, Romney will request recounts and votes will materialize out of nowhere. That’s what liberals do best.

875 posted on Tuesday, January 03, 2012 9:44:38 PM by jjotto: “Polk County has nearly double the number of voters as the next largest counties. Only six counties in Iowa have big vote totals (they can pretty much swamp the rest of the state), and only two of those have nearly complete results:
Black Hawk: Paul 24% Romney 23 Santorum 21
Johnson
Linn: Romney 27% Santorum 26 Paul 24
Polk
Scott
Woodbury”

The phrase “Yes, but...” applies here.

Total voters and total Republican caucusgoers are not necessarily parallel. The large urban counties may be considerably more Democratic than the smaller rural counties, which means they had an outsized influence in the Democratic caucuses four years ago that nominated Barack Obama but aren’t as important in the number of Republican caucusgoers they produce. Likewise, some of the rural areas with lower populations may be filled with highly motivated conservatives who aggressively campaign for their candidate and work to get neighbors and friends to the caucuses.

Well, Romney just wrapped up the conservative vote. McCain’s endorsing him tomorrow.
It’s like he purposely wants to stick it to conservatives

What? McCain endorsing Romney tomorrow? LOL.

Liberal loser endorsing liberal loser. '08 repeat.

hehe

The caucus rules this year required a secret blank ballot at the beginning of the caucus, then counting in everyone’s presence, and a phone call to the county GOP, in turn phoned to the state GOP.

“The fags hate Rick Santorum. But they are only 2% of the population, so who cares?”

Only 2% of the population, but 55%+ of today’s Major Media.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PROPAGANDA.

By the end of the week, you are going to be tired of gay “Santorum” jokes, and that’s ALL most sheeple are going to know about him.

Mark my words.
