Minnesota is Santorum 33, Romney 24, Gingrich 22, Paul 20. 35% still say they could change their minds though...

Yes, Romney bought Pawlenty.. Romney, his sons, and others close to Romney made donations to pay-off Pwlenty’s campaign debts.
Mitt Romney, his family, staff and supporters donated a combined $66,000 to help Tim Pawlenty retire the debt left over from his presidential campaign.
Romney, his wife, five sons and brother, as well as his associates from Bain Capital were among those cutting maximum checks to Pawlenty, according to a POLITICO analysis of campaign filings released Tuesday.

Does this mean that Palin ‘would be’ voting for Santorum??
Surprised to see Santorum doing so well in such a flaky state. Interesting.
Revised Rule No. 15(b) as Amended by the Temporary Delegate Selection Committee Proposal
Rule No. 15: Election, Selection, Allocation, or Binding of Delegates and Alternate Delegates (b) Timing.
(1) No primary, caucus, or convention to elect, select, allocate, or bind delegates to the national convention shall occur prior to the first Tuesday in March in the year in which a national convention is held. Except Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada may begin their processes at any time on or after February 1 in the year in which a national convention is held and shall not be subject to the provisions of paragraph (b)(2) of this rule.
(2) Any presidential primary, caucus, convention, or other meeting held for the purpose of selecting delegates to the national convention which occurs prior to the first day of April in the year in which the national convention is held, shall provide for the allocation of delegates on a proportional basis.
Thank you!
Still need to stay behind Gingrich in the South, but if Santorum can steal these Midwestern states, we are in good shape as far as preventing Romney from getting a majority of delegates. I don’t think Santorum can win Georgia, MS, AL, LA, TN, or TX so we need Gingrich to hang around and take those. We can let the smoke filled rooms in Tampa decide between Santorum and Gingrich. Frankly, I’d be thrilled with either as opposed to Romney.
What could have been is something I’ve been thinking about a lot too regarding Huntsman. It’s a shame. I also feel worse about him being out of this race as more time goes by — his absence is noticeable in every debate since NH. He was head and shoulders above Romney as a presidential candidate. I hope Huntsman will run again in 2016 if our nominee doesn’t win this time.
Try asking yourself why Romney is the front-runner because he’s the most electable (supposedly), yet Huntsman was 100x more conservative than a flip-flopping, quintessential politician/chameleon like Mitt and a much stronger general election candidate without any of the baggage or dirty laundry. Conservatives put themselves out of the game by obsessing more on an overwrought sense of martyrdom and hurt feelings than the fate of this great nation. Here is hoping the only true candidate with actual credentials will be back to face a more mature audience 2016.
probably whoever the Bushes select
Interesting....ping..... :)
Romney does need to start losing and Santorum to start winning if Romney is to be beaten.
Sounds like a good idea. I often donate my books to our small local library.
Not over for Gingrich... because of Super Tuesday... and Texas etc.
and Santorum can dominate in the Midwest.
Both men in the race will deny Romney the nomination.
I’m in Colorado and I think Romney’s support is overstated in the PPP poll. Santorum is rising fast in Colorado Springs (which is the really big GOP County in Colorado, with 24% of the delegates to the State Assembly).
Those packages never contain conservative books. In fact many carry a high percentage of fiction. The nonfiction packages tend to be books that are headed for the discount book tables.
To get the conservative titles in the hands of more people, donations of actual books by We the People is a must.
OTOH the conservative best sellers are always the first to go off the shelf at our local Walmart.
It's the ones that are not best sellers like Trisha's book that we need to “help distribute””.
I would really like to see a Santorm/Gingrich or Gingrich/Santorum ticket so we can end Romney once and for all.

Sounds good to me!
Minnesota is very polarized.....the Dems are far left, the Republicans decidedly conservative, especially on social issues (Santorum's strong suit, Romney's weakness). So in a GOP primary, things can swing very conservative.
Same in Colorado.....it's the strong conservatives that tend to show up, and last time around winner Romney was perceived (whether correctly or not) as more conservative than McCain. Which is why I'm predicting if Romney wins in Colorado, it will be very narrow,with Santorum+Gingrich having significantly better numbers(when combined). Colorado is a straw poll, although the people that ultimately select the national delegates are also chosen at caucus. Weather: It's going to be pretty cold tonight with snow on the ground and ice-covered walkways, --could depress the older (Romney) turnout, though in Colorado WE LOVE WEATHER! We love snow, we love rain, we love sunshine. It's all good.
I’m probably gonna get flamed for this, but God willing Santorum surges more and more, so we don’t have to hold our noses and vote for someone who will just bring more of the same big establishment, big government, big spending crap.
IMO, he’s the only candidate that I feel I could trust to do what he says. I don’t feel that with the other candidates, especially Romney.
I guess I need to read up on Mormonism, I thought I knew a fair bit...what the heck is “external sexual relations?” I mean...aren’t all sexual relations external...or,....on the other hand... internal? I’m confused. Maybe I need a sex-ed class (even though I DID manage to produce 4 kids!).
