GOP Primary Megathread!

[Ideologue]

At least if Gingrich got the nomination, it would make it a really easy decision come voting time. What a fucking asshole.

Neat.

Neat.

It's really one of the few reasonable responses to Gingrich that are available.

Do you feel that this opinion is widespread throughout the independent/center of the GOP?

Yes.

He really is.  I still like Santorum and Paul, but I think Gingrich really is just vile.

I was referring to the Dennis Miller-esque obscurely hip nicknames, but the smoky numbers work, too.

This is one of the pet peeves of mine.  Margin of error is just a sample error.  It doesn't account for the error in picking or normalizing the sample, and there are a lot of polling agencies who are terrible at it.

Oh, you little revolutionary you.  You just can't help but loving extremists of all flavours, can you?

With a possible Gingrich upset tomorrow, the Romney campaign may very well get the long battle for the nomination that they had previously prepared for.

Florida, a state Romney only lost by 5 points in 2008, seems solid for him, but a Gingrich win in South Carolina could make it a close call. However, it is winner-take-all: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/fl/florida_republican_presidential_primary-1597.html

As for February, the contests are Romney-friendly (Michigan, Nevada, Maine, etc.) and should allow him good wins to prepare for Super Tuesday in March. Does that mean the other candidates will fade away in February? No. Super Pac's will keep them very much alive.

I just really wish TEH MEDIA would stop giving Newt so much easy ammunition.  Like last night's debate.  Way to go, fellas.
