Iowa is the most irrelevant and a total waste of time….Iowa is NOT a snapshot of what the nation will be doing …..all it is is the media’s attempt to be relevant and it is a cash cow for local stations…..other than that it is a waste of time and sanity……
But damn! Romney/Santorum race was a close one and proved to be more interesting than I had anticipated.
FYI, one of the last polls before the caucus rated the candidates like this: Romney-22%, Paul-17%, Santorum-16%, Gingrich-15% and the rest are just names on a list……how good were these endless polls?
But since we Americans cannot exist without a winner and a loser….I will give you the red meat you so desire…..
Romney–25% –30,015
Santorum–25%–30,007
Paul–21%
Gingrich–13%
Sad that Romney never seems to get above 25%….and now Gingrich has taken the negative ads against him personally and has promised to take Romney down with him…..also look for Perry and Bachmann to exit the race in short time…..
Oh Yay! Now on to New Hampshire and another waste of time and sanity! But the two debates next week should be entertaining and ugly if Gingrich holds true to his threat to Romney……
I still think Santorum is another flash in the pan. Iowans simply do not reflect the wide range of views across America. Though he might get a bump from this I see Santorum finding his proper place at the bottom before the end of February. There is too much about his views that will expose him to the public as being too extreme to win the general election.
Larry, I give him until Super Tuesday primaries….Newt still has a chance in South Carolina and Florida…..but that may be his swan song….he will be going after Mitt with both barrels…..
This whole thing is the best reality show going. Move over Mitt, time for Mr Santorum’s fifteen minutes of fame. Sounds like the whole lot of them are imploding.
Speaking of reality shows….my daughter says that UFOs are visiting but it is because the world civilization is their reality show…just a thought.
Bachmann is out!
