[Watch]

This is what worries me most....

Turnout:

17-29 - 15%
30-44 - 16%
45-64 - 42%
65+ - 26%

Iowa 2010 Census Demographics
20-29 = 13.5%
30-44 = 18.1%
45-64 = 26.6%
65+ = 14.9%

I'd agree 30-44 is the lagger

We need to remember the big picture. No matter how this ends for us, Newt has been cooked and he was our most viable non-Romney threat down the road. Our support isn't fickle like the rest of these people. When the dust all settles I think Santorum will have done us a favor by helping knock off Gingrich/Perry/Bachmann. He can't withstand scrutiny. It will be a two-man race.

The STEAL just took place boys and girls as the Playbook was put in place in the last few days as the CROOKS have been saying Santorum surging surging surging, well they got their cover in place an them BAMM, sure as S--t SANTORUM is winning. With only 120 K spent and no presence like RP. ARE YOU KIDDING ME !! WAKE PEOPLE it was stolen !! Clear as day imo !

All those counties on the Missouri border should be Paul territory. Most haven't reported yet and those that have, haven't reported a high percentage of their vote. Also no votes from Jefferson County or Story County. I've heard that Polk County should be Romney territory, but Paul is leading there at the moment.

I also see where 58% of voters are male. That should help RP, and it seems to me to be quite a bit higher than most polls were assuming. It doesn't look too bad to me. We've still got a good chance to win this thing. Keep in mind that a lot of college kids may caucus in their home counties because school is not in session.

Hang tough guys... too close to call

 

[Liberty74]

Understood, but it isn't the end of the world either. Well, unless Santorum surge continues....then it will be.

Santorum will be hit hard like Newton Leroy was.

11%'s just traded on intrade. Lets hope it doesn't continue.

 

[happyphilter]

We have over 1000 votes to make up...

It is fishy. First they had an entrance polls based on "early birds" and "late comers" that had Santorum 5 points behind Paul. Then they had a breaking news bulletin with a third group showing Santorum tied with Romney.

I hope people are watching the vote carefully.

We need first in this.....we already have 2 locked up in NH, but if we don't win this were screwed

 

[nyrgoal99]

55,000 votes in

 

[Gravik]

53% left though, so hopefully we get more votes.

 

[JTforRP]

Stay positive.

 

[steph3n]

What is going on in story county, they forget how to use their fingers and count?!

 

[FreeTraveler]

Quit whining!!!! We're GUARANTEED one of the "three tickets out of Iowa." And Santorum has no infrastructure, he can't stay for the long run.

I strongly doubt this. With campaign representatives at *every single poll count* this is not possible. Sure, short term they could fudge the numbers centrally but it would get out quickly. I'm more inclined to believe that 75% of voters are dumb as a door knob and will continue to be until we can get through to them with the message.

They won't let him win the primary. He'll have to go third party.

Shut up.
