They keep trading leads.

All sort of close in chilly Iowa.

Santorum and Paul are obviously symptomatic of the deep disquiet in the American polity right now.  People are feeling about for a way out and not finding it with the Establishment poster-boys.  It's not just Anyone But Obama, it's Anyone But The GOP Chosen One too.

I work with a lot of "well educated" folks.

The incredible lack of economic and political knowledge and faith in government (if it is just done correctly) is staggering.

I'm downsizing, conserving ammo, working towards being debt free and looking to relocate to a freer state than the current failed eurowannabee state in which I reside.

Sorry guys, but right now I see little hope for this country. The question isn't if it will fall apart but how fast will it fall apart. My bet is it will be slow and painful, like a gut shot.

Home sick with a lovely sinus infection, I watched Mark Steyn shilling for his book "After America" on CSPAN yesterday. I agree with his prediction and your sentiment. Regretfully, but I don't see either the common will or the leadership to reverse our decline. A short, bright arc, but not a lasting one.

The amazing thing to me is just how much the media and most everyone is missing the point during this primary season.  The message being missed is that Ron Paul hasn't any more support now than he ever did.  He has his hard core Wookies.  The message is that ordinary Americans are speaking to the fact that they are sick of the status quo and Ron Paul is merely the tool that is being used by those Americans to put forth that message, but it's being totally missed.  Paul is a symbol, not a valid candidate.  Santorum is a secondary symbol.  If only Romney were bright enough to recognize the message, he might even make a good president.  I have always liked Newt, but he is so full of himself he could never be Everyman, even though he has the best intellect and knowledge to be a firm leader.  Maybe he's actually the best choice amongst the field.

Mittens takes it by 14 votes over Santorum.  Margin of victory 0.01%.  Wookie came in third.  She turned me into a Newt 4th, Gov. Good Hair 5th (and going back to TX to "reasses" his path to the nomination).  Bachmann 6th and vowing to fight on. 

Cain beat Roemer.  Both got beaten by "No Preference", and "Other".

So, this is basically a purely symbolic victory with the results being nonbinding on the electoral delegates.

I'm still predicting (not hoping) that Romney will be the (pre-determined) GOP nominee.

We are so screwed, we either get 4 more years of Obama or 4 years of Obama light (Romney).
Heck, if we're real lucky we'll get some more spineless "tea party pandering" legislators and end up with a republican majority in both house and senate. Won't that be grand.

Hey, if we have to acknowledge Santorum, who we defeated by the largest margin ever for an incumbent Republican Senator in Pennsylvania, you have to take Perry

Santorum did so well because he is viewed as being very conservative. That's as much as Iowa voters know about him.

I disagree entirely. It's important that their protest against the status-quo goes to a more right-wing direction than the status quo.

The thing is, today libertarianism is far more acceptable than it was 4, or even 20 years ago. Today, 22% of Iowa voters are willing to vote for a libertarian candidate in some disposition (rather than viewing this as unacceptable), even as over 50% of voters supported a status-quo candidate of some kind.

This is an improvement - but sadly I can see no way to make use of it.
