Live Blog for Minnesota Caucuses

[ssjevot]

53 people caucused in my hometown of 800. Don't question the turnout.

 

[KingNothing]

He will now that he's winning states. Money comes with winning. Something the campaign should take to heart.

Yes, I'm sure they never considered that strategy! Winning! How novel!

Guys, I hate to say it, but this is good. I WANTED to win Minnesota, but seeing the polls, even overperforming, that would have been a real upset even in my own mind. If we are a solid second it will unfortunately be Santorum Central, but not in Maine, not ever, and that comes next. Remember that Ron was pegged third or fourth going into this.

I agree, and the delegates are non-bounding so let Santorum have his celebration. Romney will attack him in the coming days and weeks like he attacked Newt in the previous weeks.

Minnesota Patch: Paul edging out Santorum in Ramsey County; Santorum doing the same to Paul in Hennepin County. Only about a third to half the votes counted in those counties, however.

9:21
RosevillePatch : With 4 of 11 precinct votes tallied at GOP House 54A, Santorum out in front

Did anyone see that on CNN, they were talking with some precinct officials. They reported they were going to take the ballots off site to a restuarant accross the street and count ballots and grab a bite to eat, but a decision was made by someone not to. Unreal!!!!

 

[SludgeFactory]

Any more news on the alleged fraud that was shown on the CNN feed? Some people were talking about this a few pages back...

RosemountPatch: Final tally from Rosemount: Santorum 190, Paul 91, Romney 80, Gingrich 63. Total turnout lower than expected.

Fridley Patch: 15 minutes til we get full GOP presidential results from all 17 precincts in MN District 50A. FIFTEEN MINUTES.

Why?

This is a lifelong commitment. It doesn't end with the current campaign, which isn't even close to finished.

 

[RonPaulMyPresident]

I didn't expect Santorum to be leading in Minnesota. Something is not right.

Calm yourself.

Panic is not the appropriate response.

Sheesh.

 

[kathy88]

Golden Valley Patch: Still waiting on Ron Paul to speak. Stevie Ray Vaughan is keeping folks entertained pretty well through the sound system, though.

Stevie Ray. Nice choice.

Comment From stoffer4freedom
@guest: Ron Paul is winning over many previous democratic votes, alot of people who voted for Obama in 2008 because they thaught he would be different then the status quo. 4 years later they realize that Obama is just exactly like the status quo, so these same folks are once again getting behind someone whom they believe will bring about real change and really turn this country around for good...aka Ron Paul.

Santorum winning handily, Kathy.

What are you seeing? CNN is showing only a thousand votes counted so far and it's basically a Romney/Santorum tie so far.
