Is Virginia winner take all?
You’re a little late with your prayers as Romney took VA awhile ago.
ALMOST Communist? OMG..you're killing me, here...
Looks like Santorum's got some more problems ahead. No only did he not make the Virginia ballot, not only is going to miss out on delegates in Ohio, but Illinois has the same problem and he won't be on the D.C. ballot at all.
Ed Rollins thinks this is over for Santorum if he can't stop Romney in Ohio.
I live south of the Mason/Dixon Line and MD is as rat infested as it gets.
The turnout in my district was the lowest I’ve seen in 20 years.
I was the fourth voter at 8:45 this morning. (Polls open at 6:00 to catch the people going to work)
Again, more than two hours later, I was the FOURTH!
The polling folks were so happy to see me I felt like a rock star!
And their stock was down 9% today. LOL!!
GO NEWT!! Thank you Georgia!!
Shows how strong the anti-Romney feeling is, because Paul never seems to do >20% on his own, right?
Oh no biggie. I am just so excited about this night....I think Romney (hopefully) will get his butt kicked overall. I just pray he does not win Ohio. Fox News is pissing me off with their “MITT IS GREAT” crap.
Lotsa places up here in the middle of PA where you’d be wise not to broadcast your seeming ignorance.
GO NEWT!
Ron Paul speaking live on FoxNews in Fargo. Wood chipper on standby.
Voter turn out very low at my precinct in NE Ohio. Voted G and was a toss up between G & S. Will pull the GOP lever in Nov no matter how distasteful. Me must get rid of the filth in the white house
Ugh. What if we had an election and no one came?
Mark Levin said it will be a while before Ohio results are known. He said Ed Rollins said the millions of dollars may have an affect because many people in Ohio do not know Santorum. Romney has defined every one of his opponents as a big govt. liberal insider. Levin said it is interesting that all the insiders are endorsing ROMNEY!! But Romney has done something else...He has ticked off a bunch of people who know who Santorum and Gingrich are and they are not going to accept the trashing going on. Levin is saying Romney is counting on the fact that people will have nowhere else to go and will vote for him in the end. Levin said many are very angry right now. Levin said Fred Thompson despises Romney. (He has not said it to Levin but Levin can tell.) Giuliani despises him too. So...you cannot lock up the nomination by trashing and burning.
One of the two conservatives needs to get out and NOW. I don’t care if it’s Newt or Rick. We simply MUST have a candidate in November or else face then the same sickening conundrum the Rs in Virgina faced today.
Tuesday 6 March 2012: 46 of 49 of Virginia’s delegates to the Republican National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders in today’s Virginia Presidential Primary.
33 district delegates are to be bound to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 11 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive all 3 of that district’s National Convention delegates.
13 at-large delegates (10 base at-large delegates plus 3 bonus delegates) are to be bound to presidential contenders based on the primary results statewide. Compute percentages to 3 decimal places, that is, 50.000%. The delegates are allocated to the presidential contenders as follows:
If a candidate receives 50.001% or more of the vote, that candidate is allocated all 13 at-large delegates.
The infestation doesn't end until you get south of the Rappahannock River. That is where normal America starts.
Ron Paul is pissing me off speaking all the while the returns are coming in and I’m sitting here biting nails. Why couldn’t he wait instead of wasting time?
And almost half of NJ is south of the Mason and Dixon line. Furthermore, Kansas was a Union state in the Civil War.
“Glad CainConservative is gone”
If there ever was a Troll on here it was him. Would not debate the Issue. Could not reason with him.
Glad to see him silenced for now. Trust me he will be back under another ID.
CainConservative had an interesting history. He was 100% for Cain and dumped on everyone. Then he was (for a short time) 100% for Newt and dumped on everyone. Then he was for Santorum and did the same.
Pathetically low turnout in my precinct. Friend had no waiting at 7am and at 10am when I went the place was empty. Both are VERY unusual.
If you don’ Fox News, make the same choice I did....don’t watch them.
Me too. But McDonnell was among those who shut down Cucinelli's attempts at legislation to allow all candidates on the ballot.
Then he endorses Mittens.
I'd not vote for this lame duck Governor again for anything!
Yeah? Well let me tell you something....
I got nothing.
Looks like Newt takes about 9% in VT. Half of that is probably me and my family.
Well, you won’t get an argument from me. I’m now a Southerner by choice and I can proudly state, “that the South has been saving the Union from the democrats for decades.” We’re solid red down here.
In fact, the first primary ought to be held in Mississippi where we atually have a Republicans from all walks of life, including rich, poor, college students, working men and women, military and black, yes black.
I have voted in every Presidential election since 1992. For the first time this evening, I’m giving serious and weighty consideration to the grim prospect of leaving the President/Vice President entry on my November ballot blank...
We have all been rather edgy lately, so much at stake! Just keep the faith, play fair, and we will all eventually come together.
And when we do, there will a better day ahead. You are a great FReeper who is loyal to your creed! I would not expect anything less from you!
“When one doesn’t agree with the power that be, speaking/typing ones mind isn’t always beneficial.”
Verbal abuse isn’t tolerated from any member - read the rules. The rules were followed.
There's only one conservative left and he won Georgia.
UGH. Bob Mc Donnell’s words didn’t ring true.
Virginia deserved to have all four on the ballot.
Lord knows Rick Perry tried his best, right along with Newt Gingrich.

Gingrich may get all the delegates in GA if he is over the 50% threshold and it appears he has. Romney came in second in Georgia?

“Husband is having the backside painted where the summer sun hits! It’s a Victorian Painted Lady!”
OMG! For a minute there I thought you were telling us your hubby was painting your hindquarters and you had a large tattoo!
I need more wine, sorry.
I did get a chuckle out of it though!
I have little use for any territory east of Interstate 81 and north of Interstate 64...that keeps me out of trouble with those folks in central and western Pennsylvania... :-)
Gingrich has said several times in interviews that most of Romney's wins have been in areas where turnout was lower than normal.
In Florida, Gingrich won every county where turnout was higher than normal.
Romney's negative ads are designed to reduce turnout. His commie voters will show up regardless.
Polls on Oklahoma/Tennessee close 10 minutes.
Go Newt!
Mehopes Bobo’s political career ended with this primary debacle.
I said, Communist, except for our patriot FReepers from VT, didn’t I?
LOL.
I’m quite familiar with the rules, thank you.
I certainly never intended to imply they weren’t followed.
Still, I stand by my statement.
9 minutes left for TN, MA and OK voters.
I think with Mitty, we’re in real trouble.
And a Baraq win in November means FReepers will need to forget about politics and figure out other means of “change”.
Just looked at the numbers in Ohio posted on Drudge. Talk about close - Romney 38.6% - Santorum 37.1%
Thank you for telling me!
I think he’s hoping Romney picks him for VP!
LOSER!
Let’s hope, we need all the help we can get!
What percentage of the precincts reporting?
If you are in one of the few states with a master lever or master oval, you can shade that, and it won’t feel like you are backing Mittens directly, which you will I predict eventually decide to do. Nearly all those now clamoring for others will still back Romney in the end, just as they did with McPain in 2008. And Mittens knows that.
If you don’ Fox News, make the same choice I did....don’t watch them.
You have a great point, but CNN is not much better. I am mostly reading here and just listening to the TV. I get all the info I need on here.
