and remember according to some sources 'Puke-um won Iowa. It would be ease win for Obama BUT people who vote for 'Puke-um scare the Freakin hell out of me. I come from PA so I know the 'puke-um voter and they are freaky. I hate to see them on a national level and what they may do When Puke-um falls behind in the polls.

The more they have to ride around with each other, the better it will be for Obama.

(34,179 posts)Gingritch wasn't even on the ballot, Romney and Paul didn't make any sort of appearance or invest any time, effort or money in this primary. Santorum was the only candidate who invested in this beauty contest, making a couple of appearances in the state.
Turn out was extremely low as well, somewhere in the teens, and only that high because there were other issues on the ballot in some districts.
The sad part of this, due to our disfunctional Republican Congress, Missourians just laid out seven million for this meaningless POS primary.
The real action takes place at the caucus that is over a month away.

(29,673 posts)and how I felt like no one's vote here really mattered. I was attacked for it and most didn't want to listen to what was happening here.
After reading a few threads it looks like most still don't want to listen about how this was a glorified straw poll.
I voted yesterday and I didn't even see the usual suspects who are always there at the same time for every time the polls are open. I really think they just didn't care. I also heard quite a few coworkers complaining and stating that they were not voting yesterday.
I wonder if Santorum stands after the primary.

(9,612 posts)It lends some momentum to Frothy the Snowman, making him seem a legitimate alternative to Newt for the "conservative" wing. That ends the story (at least for now) of Rmoney's "inevitability" coming out of Florida, and theoretically makes it a two-man race once again.

Groupthink can be as bad or even worse than no-think.

(146,284 posts)Caucus turnouts in MN are always low. I drove by the GOP caucus location for my area in Saint Paul last night on my way to and from the DFL caucus location. The number of cars in the parking lot was fewer than for the 2010 GOP caucuses.
Everyone there was voting against Romney. The clown parade continues.
