February 8, 201214 yr Not saying Santorum doesn't take Minnesota - but only 47% are reporting. Lets not jump to an early conclusion. I'm shocked, to be honest. I didn't expect Gingrich to do so poorly. Also, Ron Paul's showing in Colorado is quite oddly low so far (only 17% in). I'm also shocked that Santorum is doing so well. But hey, a win for Santorum right now levels the playing field so I guess that's a win for Ron Paul, right? Buying time - not letting Romney run away with it.
February 8, 201214 yr you can safely jump to that conclusion. 15k to 9k with 50% reporting is enough to project. Plus the counties where St Paul & Minneapolis are located are mostly in, & I imagine Paul already got a lot of votes from the colleges there. Gingrich actually ran 4th in Minnesota, and wasn't on the ballot in Missouri. I doubt he was very focused on this batch, he's looking toward Super Tuesday, probably hoping Georgia can get him some momentum back. I wonder if this will swing some big money Santorum's way, he's now up in Colorado too by 15% with 30% of the votes in. Still way behind in delegates but you never know what can change the momentum... * confirmed, Santorum wins all 3 states.
February 8, 201214 yr Question - where does Ron Paul stand in Texas? A bit tricky of a state. It's his state, yet I can't imagine it's not a Santorum or Gingrich state. Also - where would he stand up in California?
February 8, 201214 yr Bad sign for Romney that he cant win unless he spends a ton of money attacking the opposing candidate? He has also only won 2 of the 7 states so far. Who is the last "frontrunner" to do this badly?
February 8, 201214 yr New Hampshire, Florida, Nevada = 3 states. Missouri does not count because it was at best a straw poll. Romney: 91 Sanctorum: 44 Gingrich: 29 Though March 6, I would expect: Mitt to take: 8 Rick to take: 3 Newt to take: 3
February 8, 201214 yr Well, sure. But he was talking about people who have won states/project to win states coming up.
February 9, 201214 yr Not in part A of his post. The first part of post was pointing out that Romney won 3 states, not 2. Also, that Missouri's actual results come later and Ron Paul and Romney will do better then because it is about organization.
February 10, 201214 yr New Hampshire, Florida, Nevada = 3 states. Missouri does not count because it was at best a straw poll. Romney: 91 Sanctorum: 44 Gingrich: 29 Though March 6, I would expect: Mitt to take: 8 Rick to take: 3 Newt to take: 3 Forgot about Nevada. Id say Missouri counts because about 250,000 people voted. More than Iowa. Regardless of delegates, he lost the state.
February 10, 201214 yr Newt didn't even make it on the ballot in Missouri, so it hardly reflects the current voting dynamics of the race. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. The only reason to even consider Missouri is that the 3 state thing should help Sanctorum with fund raising,.
February 11, 201214 yr According to Santorum ... Black Sabbath, Venom, The WASP and Iron Maiden are "brand new bands," and are responsible for the Reagan assassination attempt, Obama's health care bill passing, and 9/11. http://tyrannyoftrad...on-heavy-metal/

Leads me to believe it was taken out of context or twisted to make him sound like a dumbass. Also, I think I'll call bulls*** on the tecent gallup poll saying that 87% of republicans think that heavy metal is the "main" problem with America.
February 11, 201214 yr I don't know, he has said some pretty out-there things before, I wouldn't be surprised if he said this verbatim as well.
February 11, 201214 yr I guees it is possible. Who knows. I would be more inclined to believe the the quote before the poll numbers that were used though.
February 11, 201214 yr You guys are silly. It's definitely satire. Not to mention an uninspired attempt at satire. my thoughts all along. I havent followed any sort of news the past few days...on vacation. Wasn't sure if I just completely missed something.
February 11, 201214 yr You guys are silly. It's definitely satire. Not to mention an uninspired attempt at satire. Much like that 'religious' website of whatever baptist church where nobody breaks character. It's kinda scary.

Much like that 'religious' website of whatever baptist church where nobody breaks character. It's kinda scary. Im assuming you're talking about the Phelps family and Westboro. They are far from Christian. They are a radical cult.

February 13, 201214 yr Google it. It's somewhat funny, somewhat scary. wow...it is sad to me that somebody is willing to put in that much time and effort in just to make a mockery of something.
February 13, 201214 yr That's my thought, too. I mean it's one thing if you have the joke going, but nobody breaks character there. It'd be like if everyone at MB.com were just one big sarcastic joke and that we're all actually Yankees fans.
