I ‘m Catholic. I have guns. I practice my religion. And I see the world as it is not as I would like to be. Peace out.

Best numbers I’ve seen tonight, but a really small turnout so far. I think MI hurt Rick in OH.

“Hey, its TENNESSEE. Who gives a rats...............................Nobody.

‘Scuse me???”

I do! I give at least two rats’ asses! I love the Volunteer State (Al Gore was an egregious anomaly). We aren’t dissing TN here now. We have to pull together!

[Right_in_Virginia]

.....While Gingrich is correct regarding delegate counts and is making a terrific speech, if he does suspend his campaign, how does Santorum fare against Romney in a two person race?

Moot point. Newt's not going to suspend his campaign. He's going to Tampa!

[Leep]

I cheated..I Binged it..:)

[rodguy911]

Santorum is not in the same league with Newt. They have far different IQ’s. Take away his vest and he’s a double digit loser in his home state.

“We’re on our way to Tampa to win the nomination!”

[sheikdetailfeather]

I loved Newts speech! Obama must have been spitting nails hearing Newt chiding him about the algae and ridiculing him.

“Take away his vest and he’s a double digit loser in his home state.”

Are you trying to say his vest contributes to his IQ? or his votes? Wow, scary times huh?

[katiedidit1]

NEWT WINS BIG IN GEORGIA AND PLACES 2ND IN OKLAHOMA! GO NEWT! I BELIEVE!

[FourPeas]

Yup. No surprise there. I was at both Tulsa townhalls for Santorum and Gingrich. There was never any doubt.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I am tell you, Santorum has the fight, this guy is for real. I hope and pray he really does take OHIO. There is a God (regardless).

Rick is the "MALE" Sarah Palin. You can see his crowd there on Fox (online), same kind of great people, same kind of bedrock Americans, same kind of country/patriotic campaign music. This takes me back to 2008 when, even disgusted with McCain as I was, I always got a kick out of Sarah Palin's rambunctious campaign events that were streamed online.

RICK SANTORUM IS THE GUY TO STOP ROMNEY. EAGLES UP.

[Kenny]

Santorum is great! He knows foreign affairs better than most including Obama. He’d make a wonderful President and he’d turn this country back toward the Constitution.

[COBOL2Java]

Fox has Santorum ahead in the vote count in Ohio. 81908 to 80594

And precious Willard outspent him 12 to 1. Reminds me of that line in "Happy Gilmour"

[speaking to Shooter McGee after making his first drive of the championship] Do you know what the pathetic thing is? I've just started playing. You have been doing this your whole life.

[Yaelle]

I have to admit I loved newt’s speech! Congrats to all the newt fans. He is the best speaker (whoops pun) out there!

[Theodore R.]

That reminds me of the late Senator Roman Hruska, R-NE, who once made the odd remark that even the mediocre need representation too. It may be that many of our little Republican primary voters feel threatened by Newt’s intellectualism.

evangelicals and early voting before Newt started rising.
