All things considered, I suspect the reason Santorum is doing so well is that the Radicals have gone so utterly bat-shit crazy that they will vote for the bat-shit-crazyest MF out there out of sheer embittered right feeding frenzy. What other explanation is there? The real issue in Iowa, or in any election these days, is what percent of the whole voting population tried to commit national suicide? Could someone please take Drippy-shit's poll numbers and compare them to the whole voter base? Include the unregistered voter dropouts as well, since a whole lot of people have given up on the system. It'll be interesting to see what the REAL voter count is. [sm=couch.gif]

Romney took it by 8 votes, followed by Santorum then Paul.... guess who was in the slot held by McCain in this state? Bachmann

Did anyone see how they were collecting the votes? Some guys were holding up little buckets, and people were putting slips of paper in them. Honestly, who can take any of this seriously?

The extremes of the seasons combined with the dullness of the landscape drove most Iowans insane a long time ago, which explains why we are where were at with them having such a huge role in choosing our presidents [;)] quote: ORIGINAL: xxblushesxx Did anyone see how they were collecting the votes?

And there is no ability for a recount. Gotta love progress via "The Lottery" route.

tazzygirl -> RE: Counting the votes in Iowa (1/4/2012 5:48:26 AM)
With a population of 2,978,880 (census), less than 200,000 voted?

Your copy-and-paste from thinkprogress is just ridiculous spin... [:D] I am sorry, there is nothing more to say about it. Its not thoughtful, its not any kind of real analysis, and its nowhere near truthful. Its just rubbish, and its coming straight from what is in truth just another arm of the DNC quote: ORIGINAL: kalikshama quote: Hopefully, Republicans in other states are intelligent enough not to vote for someone like Santorum that wants to end Medicare.

Which I think is the entire campaign for the GOP in 2012. I really still think this is gonna be a phone it in. I have seen no sign that convinces me otherwise.

LaTigresse -> RE: Counting the votes in Iowa (1/4/2012 8:48:48 AM)
Agreed.

And that right there is the real issue the Republican Party faces in this election.They will eventually nominate a candidate(Romney) who does not and can not excite their rabid base,the anti-Obama impulse has also failed to excite their base(perhaps the image of PresidentObama as a raging leftist socialist is not catching on?) An unexcited,uninspired base adds up to 4 more years of this President....let us hope that it doesn't add up to 4 more years of Republican obstructionism [8\|]

I mean, that's 7.5%. As far as voter turnout goes, that's freakin HUGE.
