It seems like the race for a GOP presidential candidate is far from over -- and Super Tuesday cleared that up pretty quickly as Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich each received victories in separate states.

A report on The Daily Caller reads: Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, was declared the victor in Georgia’s Republican presidential primary, a state he represented in Congress. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, won the Bay State as well as the Virginia and Vermont contests. Meanwhile, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum picked up a big win in Oklahoma.

The ten states being covered on Super Tuesday are Georgia, Alaska, Virginia, Vermont, Idaho, Massachusetts, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Dakota. Now that we know the race continues, it'll be interesting to see which GOP presidential candidates snag what states. Do you think this news is surprising -- or did you expect such variety in the caucus voting on Super Tuesday?

    What did they actually win. More tied votes.
    If the republicans really wanted the white house, it would have been down to two at the new year. They don't want it, they just want to complain about it. And snitch on the democrats. Like crying babies.

    The one with the biggest purse strings will win and we know who that is. I can't understand how anyone thinks the election of a corporate raider billionaire is what this country needs. He is utterly clueless to the plight of anyone who has ever struggled and worked 40-60 hrs a week to just get by

    Spot on, pj. While Romney flip-flops on almost every position question put to him, there is one position we can be certain about: that he will cut the hell out of the tax rate for him, and his friends.

    Romney s tax program

    And the other GOP contender: a guy who wants to be Preacher in Chief - and turn the U.S. into his own Christian Theocracy.

    I don't know what caused this lunacy in the RW: a virus, an African American in the White House, the internet, drinking fracked water, increased radiation due to global warming in the South....but whatever it is - the GOP has clearly gone off the deep end.

    Well, it's not like any of them's becoming president. Ron Paul will never get the nomination, Obama would carve up Romney in debates, only Southerners (if even them) would vote for Gingrich, and Santorum would scare away any voter that was even slightly moderate.

    The three stooges keep carving up the looney republican base. Of course that's expected. Gingrich supporters hate Santorum. While Santorum's supporters hate Gingrich. Every blue collar repug hates Romney. None of these bozos has a chance. Ron Paul was dead on arrival and may kick the bucket any day for real.

    It doesn't matter which of these three wins the nomination if any of them do. Obama will easly beat any of them and what really pissing off right wingers is they already know it.

    The most intriguing news this Saturday is that Mitt Romney is now five points up on Barack Obama in the latest Rasmussen head-to-head match-up, 48% - 43%.

    People apparently are taking to heart the refusal of Obama to renounce misogynist Bill Maher's million-dollar donation. Obama's popularity has taken a real nosedive in recent days.

    Just right wing morons having another hissy fit. Some things never change. Romney has never got over 50% in any of his "wins", how do you expect him to win a national election where he at best comes off as milk toast to true blue republicans? Few if any democrats would vote for Romeny. Unless you earn over $200K even many republicans won't vote for him. Few indpendants would vote for him, so how does he win? He can't! He has too many negatives and many hot headed repugs will just stay at home.
  • Harry Mr. Won... 2012/03/11 12:47:11

    Dream on. The defeat of Obama will unite Republicans as will no other factor. Romney's milquetoast persona will allow him to appeal to independents precisely because he comes across as such a safe, nonthreatening alternative to Obama.

    I love it when people say these guys are clowns. These guys are so much more experienced than Hussein Obama it's ridiculous. I wonder how Abe Lincoln, George Washington or Thomas Jefferson would do in a debate these days? Can the man run the country, that is the only question needed to be known and we know Hussein Obama can not.

    It will go back and forth for a while- but Rasmussen is the most right-wing polling group.
    Realclear and every group that does combined polls has numbers more like this:
    48.6 Obama(D) +3.6
    45.0 Romney (R)

    Not once, so far, has any GOP candidate polled better than the president IN COMBINED POLL NUMBERS- even if the president is not that strong.

    In the end most smart, successful people are not going to vote for Mittens....
    So we have what we have, which is definitely better than what we had four years ago with BUSH, but not much?

    Rasmussen tied with PEW as the most accurate poll in 2008, besting all of the other better known polling outfits including Gallup. Rasmussen absolitely nailed the Obama/McCain race. Then in 2010, it came WITHIN ONE of predicting the precise number of GOP pick-ups in the House.

    What makes Rasmussen so accurate is that it polls "likely voters," not "registered voters" or "all adults." Polls that test registered voters or all adults tend to over-sample uninformed citizens, many of whom (thankfully) don't bother to vote. Uninformed poll respondents tend to identify themselves disproportionately as Democrats and Obama supporters. (No slam - it's true.)

    While "registered voter" polls are much more predictive than "all adults" polls, they too usually over-represent self-identified Democrats. Many of the most recognizable polls, unfortunately, do base their findings on interviews with "registered voters." Such polls are certainly better than "all adults" polls but less predictive than "likely voters" polls.

    "All adults" polls are the least predictive and really skew the polling results toward the most ignorant, people that don't much follow the news and have only a vague, superficial sense of what is happening politically. They include too many who don't follow the primary rac...

They include too many who don't follow the primary races at all, usually can't name the candidates or important public officials (often not even their own House representative or U.S. senators), and have an appalling absence of knowledge about American history and the workings of the American system of government. They over-sample people that can tell you all about "American Idol" or "Jersey Shore" but haven't a clue about who John Boehner and Harry Reid are. These respondents are the kind of citizens Jay Leno often interviews on the street in order to mock their stunning ignorance.

    Yes, we are going to see ups and downs, zigs and zags, as different polls show different things between now and November 6. The good news for conservatives is that we're seeing some evidence President Obama WILL have a tough fight on his hands and that the judgments of those who have predicted a certain Obama victory are very premature.

    nice comments and thanks for the insight!
    you are right on most points.

    but i will say this- they still only poll people by phone on land-lines.
    hmm- who are those people sitting around at home waiting for the phone to ring?

    and if i recall, they had harry reid losing up to the day of the election here- so...

    anyway- it will be more close than anyone wants to admit and the money from Super PACS will change a lot.

    sadly- Mittens is pandering to the far right and combine that with the GOP war on women, gays, latinos, union workers, college students and graduates, immigrants, blacks- etc.- is kinda dooming him.
    what's left?
    poor white guys who are over 50 and watch FOX news?- Cant win with that...

    There is no Republican war on women. That is absurd. This phony war, spread with the willing help of the complicit pro-Obama mainstream media, is a patently ludicrous Democrat campaign strategy aimed at re-capturing a demographic that Mr. Obama must have in order to win in 2012 (single women) and also to distract attention from the plodding state of the economy - high gas prices, stubborn unemployment, and the growing national debt.

    Anyway, Obama's disingenuous sleight of hand does not seem to be working. The president's poll numbers have dropped precipitously to new lows (and not just according to Rasmussen) in recent days. Apparently, enough people are catching on to his spurious diversionary tactics. Perhaps the blatant hypocrisy evident in the president's refusal to acknowledge the misogynistic Maher name-calling has undercut his efforts.

    I know that people have in the past questioned the accuracy of landline-dependent polls given the growing preponderance of cell phones. However, this problem doesn't seem to have affected the accuracy of at least Rasmussen so far. He was as accurate in 2010 as he was in 2008. The polling experts must have found some way to get around this problem.

    The war on women is about as real as the war on Chistmas or the war on Christianity. They are all fear-mongering terms just to get certain groups of people fired up. It's really no different than all the race baiting that goes on that makes everything out to be a race issue just to ignite the mob mentality in people.

    You're hiding your head in the sand if you think there isn't a war on Christians and Christianity. Just read the nasty SodaHead posts any time the subject of religion comes up.

    I could also provide a three-page list of anti-religious actions (mainly against Christianity) carried out by the current president.

    By contrast, the war on woman is nothing more than a cynical political stunt concocted by the inscrupulous, increasingly desperate, and ideologically driven Democrat party.

    They are both cynical political stunts concocted by inscrupulous, desperate, ideologically driven parties, The war against women is driven by the Democratic party and the war against Christians is driven by the Republican party. But neither can see themselves for what they truly are.
