And the reason it isn't close according to the polls is because Mitt had the money to spend on one state.

He's playing this like a chess game, didn't really campaign in Iowa, did throw money at SC, threw a ton of money in NH, and threw even more money in Florida.

I've been screaming from the rooftop that we need a "National Primary Day" have all the states vote on one day. Before the Primary Day have a few debates and let the people vote.

If a Romney feels like spending every penny he has on all 50 states it is his money to blow. I still think the future of campaigns will be via grassroots and online groups like Free Republic.

So for tonight, I'm going drink some wine, watch Glee, watch anything but news networks.

I feel punched in the gut by a gang of communists from hell.

They are allowed to begin counting as soon as the polls close. However, none of the precints or counties are supposed to release information about any results of their counting until ALL polls in the state are closed.

Not that this stops people in Eastern time zone counties from leaking counts in progress - which may or may not be accurate. Though they tend to be reported as gospel whenever they favor the MSM's favored candidate. (It's "too early to tell" when the conservative is ahead, of course.)

But the state will not have any official numbers until the Panhandle polls close, and there are still over 15 minutes of voting time left.

No, sure don't.

Perhaps as I further develop my narcissism...

I won't violate the request, but I have to say that I disagree with it.

This is a news site. Trying to black out news (or speculation, or estimates, or exit polls, if clearly labeled as such) is silly.

The same applies, in my opinion, to those requests about not posting the results of sporting events taking place on the other side of the world until the delayed broadcasts hit U.S. TV. To heck with that.

Anyone who wishes to remain in the dark is free to do so. But don't look at Free Republic, and expect everyone to refrain from reporting what's on the media, or providing links thereto.

Same here. I will NEVER vote for the Massachusetts liberal. Period. Let the establishment RINOs rot in their liberalism.

I have never understood that. If I am not watching a game in real time I can't influence the outcome by shouting at my TV. Nothing matches the satisfaction of screaming "screen pass" (or what have you) and the coach takes me up on my suggestion and gets that 1st or a TD.

Rebellion is ON and it’s ours!

It’s all too easy to get depressed instead of mad, so get mad!

Georgia has more delegates than Florida!

Like Dr. Thomas Sowell said, “Character assassination is just another form of voter fraud.”

If Romney manages to secure the GOP nomination, he and the GOP can GTH.

GO NEWT!

GO TEA PARTY!!!!

Keep the faith!!!

Florida is officially a blue state. All those liberals from the northeast. Well, the south shall rise again and send all those carpetbaggers packing.
