I don't know what his organization is like in NH, but Santorum just claimed to have been there 30 times.

You have to wonder if Santorum won't just go straight to SC.

He doesn't have one.

This is where he runs into a buzz saw.

I'm worried that Newt's attacks will only push voters to Santorum (barf). It would be awesome, albeit unlikely, if Newt's attacks funneled voters to Huntsman.

I think there may yet be another couple of peaks and valleys for conservative candidates. It may take until after Florida and South Carolina to figure out who the "not Romney" guy is.

Do you have a pick or are you taking a "wait and see" approach?

How bad can the buzz saw be though in a small state like NH when he's already finished 1 or 2 in Iowa? I'd say as long as he doesn't embarrass himself, he's going to have staying power.

The debate could end him if he is attacked on his weak issues.

If I was Romney I would have my TV commercials say, "Fellow Americans, take a moment and look up Santorum on Urban Dictionary. Don't worry I'll be here when you get back. [15 sec pause]. Yeah, gross, right? Vote for Romney."

Looks like Romney will edge out Santorum by 14 votes.

CNN currently shows a 4 vote lead to Santorum; however, they just spoke to a chairwoman from a county where one precinct was not accounted for by the state. With the numbers she gave CNN for her county (including that precinct), Romney will win by 14.

Honestly, a win by Romney here (considering he spent 2 weeks and less money than he did last go around) is pretty impressive.....particularly considering he will likely roll New Hampshire.

Iowan Republican chair just announced Romney the winner. Sounds like he said Romney was the winner by 8, not 14...not sure what the discrepancy is there. The turnout was 122,255.

Bachmann. done
Perry. done
Paul. done (but I hope he stays in so I have something to laugh at during debates)
Gingrich. probably done but should stay in
Santorum. really doesn't have a chance
Romney. has pretty much wrapped it up I think

To me, that's as big a story as Santorum's late surge but it won't be reported that way.

As GAVol said earlier - Gingrich is about to go nuclear on Romney; out of spite. If he does, it will be clear evidence that we don't want him as POTUS.

Leopard can't change his spots. Lets face it
1. The field has been way to big for substantive discussion.
2. Gingrich may have been electable POTUS prior to the advent of TV coverage.
3. Romney is the inevitable nominee. Paul's third party aspirations are now the biggest pitfall to cross. Romney needs to reach out to Paul and supporters ASAP.

Romney needs to tell Paul that he will appoint him to head the Federal Reserve if elected.

You're about to see Santorum and Gingrich team up on Romney. This thing is about to get really interesting.
