LOL, Gingrich's speech is so pathetic.

[California8429]

Santorum will win, the three counties left will go to him, possibly one to Paul with him in second. With 13 votes down he'll end up on top.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

It sounds like Newt will be endorsing Santorum if he continues to do poorly (which he will).

[redcommander]

Wow Gingrich's speech is ripping into Paul.

[J. J.]

S ahead again.

[M]

What do we know about Monona and Madison Counties?

[Reginald]

Gingrich sounds awfully bitter... not a surprise.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

LOL, Gingrich's speech is so pathetic.

Newt himself is pathetic, and he knows he lost to Paul. And now he is attacking Paul on Iran in his speech lol.

[Torie]

Madison will probably deliver for Santorum, which could help give him the edge.

Nah, Madison (Winterset) is fairly upscale, sort of an exurb of Des Moines, with a most impressive housing stock really (the family farm is a mile to the south, which is my responsibility now, so I know the place well now). Romney should carry it.  And from what I can tell, it is fairly light on both Catholics and Evangelicals. Maybe my great grandfather's skeptical view of religion (he never went to church, and chose on the Sabbath to walk his farm) had an impact back when.  

[Keystone Phil]

Google has Santorum up!

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

'Bad people, trying to kill us.'

Newt is, uh, sure...something.

[Progressive]

Gingrich's speech WTF?! Sounds like he's dropping out...though he's not, apparently.

[anvi]

Gotta give a hand to the GOP voters in Iowa tonight -- they gave us a very fun race to watch!  

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I'm not sure why Romney fans are so excited.

1. Romney is basically going to tie Rick Santorum, a guy who was going nowhere as soon as last week. People are so desperate to not have Romney that they fueled Santorum to the top. Are you really going to celebrate that?

2. Romney didn't improve on his 2008 record, and he's only in 1st is because so many folks split the social conservative vote. With no Perry or Bachmann (who now have no chance), Santorum would be up by nearly 20% more.

3. The race gets harder for Romney now, because tonight's losers are as good as gone, and their support will undoubtedly shift to Santorum.

Once again...Romney barely paid attention to Iowa this time, and is extremely close to winning it. NO Republican has ever won both Iowa and New Hampshire. Romney is going to have a ton of momentum if he comes out the winner in both states.

In addition to the obvious Republicans, Gerald Ford won both of those in 1976.

Romney got 16% there last time...

Huckabee carried it with 43% of the vote to Romney's 16%.

[Thomas D]

Rick back in the lead.

[argentarius]

How are the CDs shaking up?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

93% in and Santorum leads by 45 votes.

[Dereich]

Why is Gingrich still attacking Paul in his concession speech? Also, mitt, you can pull ahead again!

[Joe Biden 2020]

Santorum up by 72 now, 93% in

[BlondewithaBrain]

Even if Romney eeks out Santorum it looks like he will come short on his 2008 showing of 25.2% and 30k votes. Paul more than doubled his suuprt but Romney spent millions to stay the same (or actually drop)

Yeah, lets ignore the fact that in 2008, Romney focused heavily in Iowa, and in 2012, he didn't really start campaigning aggressively there until a week or two ago.

YOUR SUPPORTING A ING RINO. A MAN WHO GIVES TAX DOLLARS TO ABORTION CLINICS.

IT SAYS ALOT ABOUT YOU THAT YOU SUPPORT A CANDIDATE THAT HASNT GOT A BACKBONE OR A PRINCIPAL.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Newt thinks he's the new millennium's Oswald Spengler, but he's actually a poor man's Eddie Antar.

Monona went to Romney in 2008, and still, only 74% in Dubuque.


I think Gingrich is so pathetic. He attacks Romney for going negative, then proceeds to start attacking Romney. When Gingrich attacks Romney, he's telling the truth. It's not being attacker. What an arrogant, bitter man. What a whiny, crybaby. How will he act when Obama throws hundreds of millions in attack ads at him?

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Madison coming in.

25% Santorum
21% Paul
16% Romney (same as 2008, lol).

Romney carried Monoa with 35% of the vote to Huckabee's 29% in 2008, but it's much smaller than Madison.
