it is within the margin of error, but word is that Newt may drop out soon, and Santorum is still having trouble raising money. I think the Santorum vote was a protest vote, because Christians principles are under attack. Santorum is the extreme right, his sparkle is short lived.
INCREDIBLE...or is it? The Paulistas are STILL talking like Ron Paul has the GOP nomination wrapped up.

I have to LAUGH...or I'm be depressed that some folks are that far from REALITY.

Ron Paul supporters won 100% of the delegate spots in my MN precinct. I have heard a lot of 75-100% numbers from other MN people that attended. I have only heard one person report under 50% for their precinct.

Yay! That is great! I hope he cleans up in Maine and gets not only the delegates but the popular vote too.

Santorum is the ultimate Neo-Con. He's a huge spender, war monger and a control freak with conservative views he wants to force down everyone's throats-- and he makes no apologies for it which is pretty sad. What is even MORE sad is so many ignorant people who have to be clueless about his background, have supported him because of what they THINK he stands for and not for what he actually does.

Lots of fear from the Anti Paul people. Loving it.

Loving this thread. It resembles Ron Paul's focus and will.....relentless.
