What source do you have to back this up...other than the fact that in general, MOST people as a whole dont contribute to political campaigns.

Just Romney. Santorum would never win the general election. I would like to know as well...

Mitt wants entitlement reform, flatter and fairer tax codes, waivers for states from Obamacare and hopefully eventual repeal of Obamacare, a balanced budget amendment, to turn some federal programs over to states, to repeal unnecessary federal regulations, and to make illegal immigrants leave the country and get in the back of the line to apply to return legally.

He will not spend like Obama and I don't think he will be as bad as W when it comes to war.

Rick Santorum has no shot in hell of winning the nomination regardless of the absurdity going on in Iowa right now.

Everyone knew that Romney was the horse to beat for the actual nomination. What we're learning is that Paul is for real. It's really hard to say what it means for Santorum. The guy managed to pick up a lot of support in Iowa, but his nationwide numbers are absolutely terrible. Not sure if Iowa is a big enough springboard, but it also might make him the next "not Romney" guy. Heaven help Rick Santorum if he wins, because everyone else who wants to be the "not Romney" guy is going to go all out attacking him. I don't think he'll survive that for long. But who knows? Maybe he pulls through.

As close as things are looking, this is effectively a win for all three guys. Just a bigger win for whoever edges out the win.

The real loser is Bachmann. This was supposed to be her big day. After that, is establishes visible evidence that Perry and Gingrich are down and out.

What details has he given on how to "reform" entitlements?
How is his healthcare plan any different (or better) than Obama's? How is his considered, say, more "constitutional" ?
What federal programs to the states? Repeal what federal regulations?

+1 for the immigrants
