You mean the race card part of your post?

See, thanks to its overuse, liberals playing the race card will have little impact.

Saving America = getting obama out of office.

Oh, once again you are wrong, the poster mentioned obama, I was just setting him straight with the FACTS.

The CNN exit polls did show that a lot of the voters identified as Evangelicals and a majority of them said that one of their top issues is that the candidate they are voting for should share their values.

There isn't one single politician anywhere that doesn't have them.

Romney strikes me as someone who is constantly riding the rail, trying to please all sides of the fence.

I'd rather see someone in there who is consistent like Santorum than a flake like Romney.
You realize Santorum was voted one of the top 3 most corrupt members of the senate in 2006 and 2007?

A "lot" is very different from "only".

SO yea, my standard of living here in alabama, in my $180,000 2400sqft all brick house (6 years old), 3/4 acre, 28x38 2 story detached gagare (also has the attached garage), $456 property tax ass will be just fine....and living just fine....
Well, I'm paying 8000 in property taxes in Rick Perry's low taxes Texas, on a place in a bad school district and 30 miles from town. The school is not any better than any in Mississippi.

The POTUS does not determine property taxes.

You can look at the vote and figure out the demographics pretty easily. The evangelicals went for Santorum, and the rest went for Romney. The party leadership in Iowa really is dominated by evangelicals, but they don't control who turns out to caucus.

It says absolutely nothing about the state of the GOP in Iowa or anywhere. What it says is that Barack Obama was the Anti-Bush Candidate in a country that was tired of Republicans. The better comparison would be Bush/Kerry 2004, not 2008.

Can we say FAIL?

Were you expecting more GOP votes than Democratic ones, or do you not understand how the party with 100,000 more members, should get more voters to the poll?

Must have failed 4th grade math..
Given all the hype and the endless GOP debates you'd certainly expect a bigger turnout than that. Your excuse about the Democrats having more registered voters in Iowa doesn't fly. The GOP fell short of its own predicted turnout of 140-150, 000 voters in the Hawkeye state. In 2008, the Democrats had a bigger turnout than the Republicans in almost every state... even deeply red states. The Republicans have no excuse for a lackluster showing at the polls. The enthusiasm just isn't there.

Well if the comparison is Bush/Kerry 2004, it seems like Obama is in for a second term.

No. I wasn't "playing the race card" (How original )...I was pointing out how Republican candidates are all white males...

Aren't they???

""""Saving America = getting obama out of office. """""



Yes, the Repugs have made that plain....that their ONLY concern is "getting Obama"....NOT creating jobs or improving the economy or ending the wars, improvong education, cleaning the air and water, fixing the illegal immigrant problem....
NOPE, Their ONLY concern is to "Get Obama"....

that's only playing well with whacko extremists who hate Obama more than they love their country....

Do, please tell me Romney's or Santorum's Plans To Save America.....I haven't heard any.....
