I don't think it's a good strategy at all if your campaign goal is to skip focus on Florida because it is 'big and costs alot of money', and only to focus on caucus states. After Ron Paul's interview tonight, I realized that his campaign isn't really focused on winning the GOP nomination at all, it's about going to the GOP convention with some deal to make.

He has stated before there is no point of him going there due to costs and if he went there and didn't have the money he would be no better then the people who are running the country so I can see why and yes it is a shame but you can only do what your budget allows does it not?

Exit polling. They interview voters as they leave the polling booth and can get a good idea of the outcome before the official returns are in. For the networks to announce so early the exit polls must be overwhelmingly in Gingrich's favor and he is probably going to post a double digit win.


You mentioned the exiting polling....Hmmmm

My vote confirmation window kept flipping over to Gingrich.
The Paul section of the screen was also very hard to push and wouldn't select him and kept flipping to GreenGrinch (sarcasm) on the preview. I had to push so hard that I feared that the screen would crack before it would select. I went with my parents. My dad said Paul's selection was hard to push but, selected fine. My mom (old lady) had to get help because her touchscreen was calibrated so to push on Paul sent in a Gingrich.

Strange or the worst touch screens in history.


It appears they are working as intended.

Welcome to the New Order of the Ages.

This is exactly what A. Jones was worried about when he
heard that they were going to "fix" the problem.

After this primary is over, if people of the US let this
corruption stand, they should be stripped of calling themselves
a democracy.

I don't know anything about the historical accuracy of the pollster. Regardless, even they believed that Gingrich would win rather easily, a conclusion also reached by the pollsters for the major networks.

It generally seems to be in line with the rest of the results from last night, aside from Ron Paul' in 2nd. If they're the only one that believed he'd finish 2nd, I tend to lean towards a more mundane explanation: they need to re-check their methodology.

You know, since little Newt seems to be popular with the war mongering Christian Right in SC, a thought occured to me.

Isn't 'ol Newt due for a change in the wife catagory again? I mean he's been with this broad several years now and she's old news. Maybe he's waiting till she has cancer so he can serve her papers on her death bed.

It is because Florida is a "all or nothing" state for delegates. He cannot in good faith spend money hard earned from us, knowing that Romney will carry it.
And, as someone who has given much to him, I agree.

Much like gambling machines. They are calibrated so the house wins most of the time. Would not surprise me if a good percentage of the votes for Ron Paul found their way into another camp. It is a simple matter of adjusting the programing.

I wonder what kind of oversight they have on these machines and who programmed them.

The historical accuracy of the pollster is irrelevant, my point was that some exit polls where showing a higher percentage for Paul and what the actual outcome became. When you hear stories of dead people's names being used to vote in New Hampshire and irregularities at 53 different polling stations in Iowa in the year 2012 its quite troubling. Secure financial transactions crisscross the US daily without one cent being lost. Bottom line, in the US, in the year 2012, the votes should be secured in the same manner.

Ah-hem...

S'cuse me, but I must point out these Hollywood sluts are not running for President.

Little Newt oozes sleazy corruption, imo.

Why did you remove my youtube link? There is nothing questionable about it as I got it straight from youtube and its currently posted on whatreallyhappened.com.
Again, well here you go. www.youtube.com...

(note for folks -- due to reports of the video linked site being a major channel for viruses, I've nuked those links (if you can find the same content on Youtube.com, that's okay, however.) I apologize for any inconvenience, here, but I'd rather play it safe. Am investigating the site right now.)

Sorry. Caught that one on the fly and didn't see the full URL.

Also, after investigation, I did find that "Youtu.be" is a legitimate "Youtube.com" shortener (I don't watch videos so I'm late to the news here). Apologies for any inconvenience, but we did receive a virus alert about this and initial scans showed a lot of virus alert messages on this.

Anyway, all clear now.
