That's like 1% of the caucus votes I think.

What othervstunts are you thinking of?

Let's all think up some kind of gross definition for Rick Santorum's name.  It's childish.

So a total of one stunt? That's rather weak - especially when he was attacking an individual that seeks to deny him rights.

It's really all I know him for.  That and being insulting to people.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'd put my money on Paul for the Iowa thing.  Caucuses involve a lot of compromise and the like and his followers are the most fanatical and least likely to bend.  I think most of Romney's guys will stick by him and Santorum's people (and the rest of the pack), will likely peel off to Paul if they don't have a clear majority to start with.

With 13% in,
Paul 24%
Romney 23%
Santorum 23%
Gingrich 13%
Perry 10%
Bachman 6%
The one candidate that is sane and didn't completely prostitute himself: 106 total votes

Hopefully no one in the rest of the world is noticing what is going on right now.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

You mean the one that's deliberately betting the farm on New Hampshire and gave up on Iowa a while back?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The Iowa caucus doesn't really mean much, since a) Iowans are provincial idiots, and b) the caucus process is stupid.

Especially when both people are utterly evil.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Yeah, that guy who left the state because he wasn't getting a blip in the polls after months of campaigning.

I hope the rest of the world realizes this. Imagine if we get Paul and Santorum in first and second place. I'm imagining some euro picking up a paper and seeing those guys as the top two, with a blurb of their policies. :lol:

They won't. I guess they'll read "Republican primaries begin: Candidates A & B on top". You'll be lucky if it is explained somehwhere what the hell a caucus is.

At what point do we need to get Paul and Santorum out of spots one and two before the world realizes we are pyschos?  :P

Caucuses suck, because they require a big time commitment and it's for a fixed time.  This means people like me are less likely to be able to go, but some crazy old lady with a boner for Santorum?  No problem. :)

Not sure how he feels about having the elderly tranny vote locked up.  :hmm:
