PPP Poll: Minnesota, Sun & Mon:

[BrittanySligar]

Santorum: 37% Gingrich: 22% Paul: 21% Romney 20%

These numbers throw away the Saturday polling, and only take into account the Sunday and Monday polling from PPP, the numbers are a bit different, and give us a little more hope for 2nd place.

Santorum: 37%
Gingrich: 22%
Paul: 21%
Romney 20%

BTW, this is eerily similar to the Iowa santorum surge.

Santorum again?

Stop lying to yourself then. The end result could be very different IF we can get the vote. If the young folks stop staying asleep and actually vote instead of just attend rallies, we would be sweeping the floor in actual results (polls don't matter results do).

 

[cindy25]

if Romney comes in 4th that will be the story

Given that people can register at the caucus, we could get a huge last minute surge from independents, democrats, and the lazy. We just need for everyone to drag as many people to the polls as we can.

isn't rp getting like 50% of the young vote in some places?

Folks, I'm in Colorado and I can tell you all of Colorado Springs is voting for Rick Santorum. Just another instance of religion (focus on the family is here) getting in the way. Even the local CO Springs site has Santorum winning big. http://www.kktv.com/polls?pollID=138784559&submit=submit&mr=1&oid=3&pid=138784559&cid=6500

If that is the case, this is a great instance where we will beat them at the delegate game.

He's getting a roughly half of them yes. But they are a miniscule percentage of the voting electorate is the point. They aren't showing UP is what I'm trying to say. If I only showed up and voted for RP then ya he'd have 100% of young vote, but what the hell is my 1 vote supposed to do? Win elections. Turn out is important.

 

[RPit]

Isn't school/university in session tomorrow? So how the hell are we going to get our young vote? Is the caucus at late night or something? Otherwise this is bullshit.

Those damn religious zealots...Politics hasn't changed a bit. It's all based on identity and not principle. The blacks vote for blacks, the Christians vote for the Christian, the special interests vote for the empty suits...all rationality gets lost. Oh, cannot forget the war mongers vote for the biggest war monger etc..

Caucus is in the evening. MN college kids should hit the dorms. Hit the cafeterias and campus restaurants at dinner. Gather up all those sweet, sweet unregistered voters and get them to register at the event.

You are exactly correct.

Thanks. Well thats great, this could help turnout by allowing those lazy sleepy asses to go since its not early in the morning, and we all know what early morning means for youth.....

PLEASE PLEASE SHOW UP AND WIN THIS THING!!!!

Colorado is closed to republicans and registration ended in early December. This is why Paul will not do well here. We can't get independents or young people to register late. Nevertheless I've been working to achieve whatever we can get.

On a separate note, I'm curious what do people do that want to attend but work at 7pm? I imagine this hits the demographic of younger normal people that would support Paul rather than the rich Romney backers.

Santorum 1st, Romney 4th?

This is twilight zone.

 

[Lord Xar]

First is still possible if we can get the democrats and independents out in force.

A percent difference could be as little as 50 votes...

Well on the bright side, religion will likely also go by way of the GOP in future generations.
