Who will place first in Iowa ?
« on: January 03, 2012, 05:25:03 PM »
Is it Romney followed by Santorum...or Santorum followed by Romney ?
     One positive note...Santorum as I recall, has never thrown dung at the other candidates.. 
        Under the campaign pressures, that takes a man with real character..

It doesn't make any difference. Santorum was the big winner. Newt is ticked off, Perry put his tail between the legs and slinked off to Texas. Huntsman is invisible. Bachman is ready to throw in the towel. RP is RP, his troops will soldier on.

It didn't turn out the way I'd hoped it would, even if it did look good about 9:30pm last night...

Romney beat Santorum by 8 votes.    I think Romney will walk away with NH, because it is a NE state, and he is a NE candidate.   The real tests will be SC and Florida.

I agree Romney will take NH (but not by as big a margin as some Romney supporters think ) There are alot of Massachusetts  refugees who fled  the state of mass and sought refuge in southern NH when he instituted Romney care. The NH population landscape has changed drastically in over 6 years.

In my opinion the larger issue for Romney camp is no matter how much money he pumped into Iowa (and it was enormous) he only managed to garner the same 25% of the vote or about 30k people or exact same % as last time round. He is polarizing. The business establishment and RINO's want him. The true conservatives  see through him. But hey corporations are people too. I think Santorum will surprise folks in NH and it will be closer than Romney camp will like.

Romney is status quo RINO definately not a conservative republican unless of course its a Wednesday,  and there is a blue moon,  and he is speaking to a true conservative audience.
Newt is for Newt - it's all about book sales and hocking His cure all elixir's from the back of a wagon at 60k a pop.
Santorum is a conservative that believes what he says like him or leave him he is what you see.
Ron Paul is for small Govt like him or leave him he is what you see.

Why are Huntsman and Perry still in the race???

I agree SC and FLA will tell the tale.

Santorum is a conservative

Really? I guess it depends on what ones definition of a conservative is. Conservatives generally don't spend money like there is no end to it, and don't vote against 2nd Amendment rights. Conservatives would not support a liberal like Specter, and campaign for Christie Todd Whitman. I guess as long as someone has the republican title they gain Santorum's support. In 2005 and 2006 he made the "most corrupt congressman" list. I doubt that was for being a conservative.
 Its generally best to watch what someone does, instead of what they say. Before giving them a conservative title.

Yes, because conservatives always vote for gun control legislation like the Lautenberg act, always vote with Diane Feinstein to mandate trigger locks on handguns and always vote for bills with provisions to mandate federal background checks at gun shows.

Way to go Republicans, let's vote for two gun grabbers - Rick "conservative gun grabber" Santorum and Mitt "permanent assault weapons ban" Obamney.

While I don't disagree , he will probably garner the evangelical conservative vote.

Has anyone actually seen a delegate count on this? One major news source reported that Paul may have actually gotten more delegates than anyone else due to the odd way the Iowa caucuses are run. At this point he might be the front runner based on delegate count.

It looks like the delegate count is actually a 3 way tie.
http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P12/IA-R

Paul - 6
Romney - 6
Santorum - 6
Gingrich - 4
Perry - 3
