[hippie_hunter]

CNN's entrance poll has Mitt Romney and Ron Paul tied at 24%, Rick Santorum in third with 18%, Newt Gingrich at 13%, Rick Perry at 11%, Michelle Bachmann at 7%, and Jon Huntsman at 1%.

Yeah, Obama did great signing the Bill of Rights destroyer NDAA...

Yeah and none of the presidential candidates spoke out against it when the republicans were pushing it in congress. NONE OF THEM.

Interesting. Thanks for update. Politico livestream hasn't mentioned anything yet unless I missed it.

No results have come in yet and the official results could turn out vastly different than the entrance polls that have come out right now. In 2008, Mitt Romney was coming out on top in 2008 in the entrance polls and Mike Huckabee ended up winning.

ooh boy.

I want to see the media try and ignore a Ron Paul victory.

Think I heard Ron Paul mention it. Not by the name NDAA, but something along the lines of it. He's talked about the language in it, I know that much.

Paul did, over and over. Just like he was against the Patriot Act when "his" party's President and Congress shoved it down the public's throat.

MSNBC is reporting with 1% reporting with Ron Paul in the lead with 43%, Rick Perry at 19%, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum at 14%, Newt Gingrich at 10%, and Michelle Bachmann and Jon Huntsman at 0%.

 

[bell110]

Paul has 43% with 1% reporting.

Ed Schultz described Paul's younger supporters pretty well. Socially liberal, fiscally responsible, and want nothing to do with war. Pretty much sums up my feelings, though I would also add that I'm not socially liberal enough to think we should have big government spending on welfare programs that will bankrupt the country.

Well, that goes to the fiscally responsible part. I'm not anti-welfare, I just think we need be able to pay for it.

welfare is considered fiscal policy.

Social policy are things that mostly effect personal choices like sex and drugs.

CNN Entrance polling is reporting that the evangelical vote is heavily split between Paul, Santorum, Romney, Perry, Gingrich, and Bachmann. Bad news for Santorum.

Yes, of course it goes to the fiscally responsible part. My point is that fiscal responsibility is the more important aspect to me. And I would think that's the case with 95% of his supporters.

That's one out of sevan?

There's no way republicans can pretend to a be a better alternative when it comes to Obama signing the NDAA.

You are correct. They're all a bunch of authoritarian puppets in their own right. Paul is the only one with the courage and integrity to stand up for our rights.

LOL if Santorum wins, idk what that says but the people of Iowa are way too volitile.

 

[redfirebird2008]

Santorum - 1229 (24%)
Paul - 1204 (24%)
Romney - 1132 (22%)

Looking like this will be a LONG night.

It appears relevant if Romney win the Iowa Caucus, but if Paul win it irrelevant...I don't get it.

Thousand of people believe, support, and vote for Paul; and if he win, that relevant...given that many people, feel that strong about his message, his platform.

It's funny how on one hand the Establishment and Main Stream Media, say don't take serious, Paul or the Iowa Caucus, if Paul win; but, on the other hand, they are seriously concern if he would run as a Third Party Candidate....the irony is amazing.
