CNN - RP in Third.

I really, really hope Santorum won Iowa. I don't want Romney to win.

 

[nasonex]

IOWA did its job it was the Media and the crook behind the scenes that STOLE it by using the SURGE SURGE BS HYPE of Santorum !! imo he was in single digits people what a surge dont you think?? COmmon wake the F UP !! RON had this stolen imo.

You want evidence? Please wake up PEOPLE COMMON SENSE !! Take the blinders OFF Santorum PLEASE !! imo

I agree. This is a crime. A literal crime. The mainstream media made Santorum win.

 

[Rothbardian Girl]

This teaches me that we need to step up our focus on building other coalitions. Having young support is extremely nice, but they simply don't come out to vote as much as the older folks do. I think Ron and the campaign need to focus on selling the plans Ron has for preserving entitlement spending. As much as it will be a bitter pill for a lot of conservatives here to swallow, the old strategies clearly aren't propelling us to victory. I don't want to sound all doom and gloom here, but we need to reevaluate our strategies.

 

[bluesc]

Fixed.

The good news is Santorum is a non-starter in New Hampshire. The next week may be all about Mitt and Rick in the media, but after NH it will be Mitt and Ron.

 

[Jtorsella]

Well, it's back to some Ayn Rand and dystopian novels for me.

 

[J-Reg]

Santorum will fall on his face in the next three states. Then it will be Romney v.s. Paul. Frothy took care of The Grinch for us.

 

[Plague-of-Locutus]

I'd rather Santorum be the one trick pony than Ron Paul. We know what game plan we have in place. We are in it for the long haul. Let all of this silly stuff blow over.

 

[sailingaway]

CNBC is saying that Paul no higher than 3rd and that Santorum has infrastructure in NH and SC... "he can mount an anti-romney" campaign, at least for awhile.

santorum is polling at 4% in NH. And he will be vetted.

 

[J_White]

CNN projected winner Santa or Romney,
Paul third !

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

And with this Santorum will be the next Huckabee, only worse, and it will be down to two

 

[EBounding]

The media narrative now will be Paul's ceiling. Anything "positive" will be how he could be viable 3rd party candidate, while licking their chops.

 

[Duckman]

Then tell me the plan for how we win, and exactly how we guarantee it 100%?

This is simply not how movements or politics work. If that's what you're expecting, you're in for a hell of a dissapointment.

 

[Maestro232]

Sorry, but I don't think so, media attention will be the top 2, have you not been paying attention they barely mention Paul when he is in first or 2nd and you think they will talk about him coming in 3rd? Care to place a wager on that?

Paul already off of Drudge front page tally

 

[Chieppa1]

CNN is calling it....

 

[Paulitics 2011]

This is beyond disappointing.

 

[CTRattlesnake]

Whats the difference in delegates between 25% of the vote and 22%???


Come on people, calm down

 

[TheeJoeGlass]

Story still isnt in yet and we're winning that one aren't we?

It is over.

 

[raginggran]

They are still supporting Santorum! They are making him into a candidate that can steal our voes away.

I agree.. he "steals" Rons platform in the debates.. He is not a good guy..and if the MSM doesn't vet him WE WILL

 

[Harry96]

A week ago I would've bet anyone $1,000 that Frothy had zero chance to win Iowa. If he can be built up enough in one week's time to win Iowa, what makes you think it can't be done in NH too?
