I am running the latest version of IE. When I clicked the link all I got was this:

Sorry GB,
I didn't realize it was Chrome only. I started using Chrome when Firefox slowed down. Chrome is faster than the others but a minimal program.

Final results: Santorum 25%, Romney 25%, Paul 21.5%

Ron Paul came in a close third. His message is the same as that of John Locke and the seventeenth, eighteenth century Enlightenment writers that lead to the first American Revolution and to the freest , most prosperous country on earth. This is Ron's core belief and that is why he has been so consistent through the years. Over time, the generations of Americans have lost this ideology, partly because it is the desire of government to grow in power and the message is not consistent to their interests. It is obvious that Paul is more interested in getting the message out than winning. He knows that he could do better if he changed one or two things that he has said, but that would change the ideology of our founding fathers. Change comes from a change in ideas and in that he is winning.

Has the revolution begun? Nope.
 
Final results: Santorum 25%, Romney 25%, Paul 21.5%= the stupid still outnumber the intelligent in this country. For a few minutes last night I thought that there still might be hope for this country but this morning I realize that I was dead wrong.

Someone made a post a few days ago saying that the republicans had changed things around such that in all the early caucus and primaries that it wouldn't be winner take all but that the delegates would be split on a percentage basis.

If that info is indeed correct since this was almost a three way tie for first I assume Ron Paul will get pretty much the same number of delegates from Iowa as the other two. But I don't know if that was good info or not.

It's very early in the process and he made a strong showing. Once a dozen or so states have had their primaries a clearer picture will develop.

o'romnee  is  practically  an incumbent
......a candidate for over 5 years basically


perry and backman drop out........the anti-incumbent vote consolidates


even  CAIN  got enought votes  that could have defeated o'romnee
had they not been cast  for CAIN  in iowa


there  were also  enough ''no preference'' votes to have changed things


not sure who  i like the least.....o'romnee  or santorun
not sure who i prefer......paul  or gengrich.......probly paul

You can't discount the unexplainable need some people have to turn their religion into law.  Obviously, Ron doesn't play that game for them... but Santorum did...

They don't care even remotely about keeping the government out of people's business, and they only make weak hearted claims as such...

Exactly dukkilr. As someone pointed out on LRC, Santorium got the evangelical vote because of his stance supporting life in the womb. But didn't he express the desire to kill that life in the womb as long as it was Iranians. It seems he may have been saying that just to get the vote and morals don't matter. Santorum's nephew said that he would not vote for him. He will fade in NH.

The pro-life issue in this race is separating the wheat from the chaff. There are many self-proclaimed religious who have taken it as a political issue. And they are distinct from believers of several faiths who take it as a moral issue with legal ramifications. Santorum appealed to the first camp, as did Romney although his majority base are RINOs. Paul resonates with the latter group.

So far that prediction has turned true GB.  Actually RP may have come out a little bit ahead in delegates according to this article.
