Romney wins Iowa by 8 votes

[Gadawg73]

60% of the Santorum voters stated that abortion was their NUMBER ONE issue.
They are brain dead.

Wow 8 votes. I wonder if there was any fraud. I'm sure it won't make a difference.

To Republicans? Naw.

Notice they weren't checking any ID's.

It was a caucus; had to caucus in 2 places at once. When the polls are open for 12 hours, you can vote quite often.

I fully support voter ID rules as long as a free picture ID is made available to all who whish to cast ballots. Any charging for said ID is a poll tax and loses my support immediately.

Valuing life is hardly brain dead. Quite the opposite.

With 2 wars going on, Iran building a bomb and threatening us are you also claiming abortion is your number one issue?
If you are then you are brain dead also.
Valuing life has absolutely nothing to do with abortion views or the issues of the day.
I value life, oppose abortion yet know that abortion is a NON ISSUE.
You can not fix stupid.
Anyone that has abortion as their #1 national issue is a dumb ass uneducated moron.

It's a big win for Romney. Obviously i wish Ron Paul won but i wont rain on the man's parade. It's a nice win. Most thought he wouldn't win. So i'll just congratulate the man and move onto the next battle. New Hampshire here we come.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Just more evidence that the GOP doesn't have a clear view of who they want for president.

Obama is gonna win.

So, because Iowa was close, Obama is a lock, huh?

Clearly the GOP won the Presidency in 2008. Thats the only possible conclusion that can come from his assumptions.

Actually, it's because your party is so divided that they can't get behind any single candidate, which is going to result in some GOP voters becoming so disgusted that they stay home.

The funniest thing is that the winner has had to face a desperate campaign to find someone else and numbers 2 and 3 have been completely ignored and written off by the commentators.
I think it shows a disconnection between the GOP and it's base which they should be worried about - they seem to have no idea what Republican voters want.

All the noise from the likes of the Tea Party (and fair play to them) has convinced the strategists, commentators and candidates that they need to move further right when this is actually moving them away from their true base.

It's a freaking primary. We unite for the general.

Paul is toast.
Romney wins in NH and the Governor of South Carolina has endorsed him.
But southerners, we tend to be very independent and Humpty Dumpty will do very well in SC no matter what. With that, Santorum and Perry if he is still around will split the vote and SC voters may listen to their female Gov and vote for Romney.
But he is a Mormon and that prejudice still exists here.
So who knows but Romney is the nominee.

Why is it a "prejudice"?

Frankly, I never have understood why being critical of a belief system becomes off limits if you call it a "religion".

People who think Obama was born in Kenya are nuts.

People who think Bush blew up the World Trade Center are nuts.

People who think aliens from Zeta Reticuli are kidnapping Americans with the consent of our government are nuts.

People who think Joseph Smith was talking to God and God told him to have sex with those teenage girls are nuts.

Only one of those nutty belief system deserves "reverence" like race or ethnicity because they've managed to dress it up as a "religion" and put the silliness in a gilded book?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Anyone else notice ...

Mitt won by ONLY 8 votes even though he spent 8 times the money the next guy spent.
122 THOUSAND people showed up. That's half the number that came out to vote FOR President Obama.
When the counting was done, 75% of those people did not vote for either Romney or Santorum.

Any way you look at it, that's a pretty grim picture for the pubs.

Mitt will probably be the candidate and that might a good thing for the country. He'll probably lose to the president which is a very good thing.

BUT, if the lies about Obama are successful and Mitt wins, he has always been for sale to Big Business and always will be - but so are all the other pubs. He won't bring anything to the WH with him because he is truly an empty suit. Under the Mitt regime, a full fledged recession is a sure thing but I think most people can see that.

I spose the funny part is that, while the rw's blame President Obama for everything from gas prices to their sister's pregnancy, they'll make every excuse imaginable for a pub prez cuz that's what the rw does.

Agreed.

Looking askance at a supposedly mature and intelligent adult who wears magic underwear isn't "predjudice". Its common sense!

Besides, the Mormons really are nutz. I have a really crazy sister who married a morm and jeeeez - they have some really whacked beliefs.

And people that judge a man by his religion are PRE JUDGING him based on what they perceive he may do because of those beliefs.
Go ahead and do it all you want and I do not care. Does not bother me.
But when you deny it and attempt to put another spin to it don't think I will buy into it.
You can put perfume on a hog and what you have is still a hog.
As hard as you may try to spin it, you can never polish a turd.

The Mormons run a large national assisted living chain for seniors. And they do an excellent and fair job doing it.
I know many. They are fine people. I have relatives that live in their first class facilities.
I have worked for many attorneys that are Mormon also. They are also fine people.
Just like all Baptists are not the same, not all Mormons are the same.
The boogeyman ain't going to get you so grow up.

Anyone that wants Obama to serve another term is BAT SHIT CRAZY
He is a socialist dumb ass.
You didn't know?

There's no "pre-judging" him at all. He's said straight up he's proud of his Mormon beliefs.

In 2008, he said he welcomed questions about his religion. Today the subject is off limits. Probably because a few people actually asked those questions in 2008.

If he really believes that ancient Hebrews built a vast civiization in America and he's going to rule his own planet in the afterlife, I think that would be as good a reason to reject him as irrational as if he believes he got an anal probe from a gray alien.

BUT, if the lies about Obama are successful .

What lies?
