Romney Officially Loses Iowa, Gingrich Leading South Carolina 37% to Romney's 28%
Something big must be happening behind the scenes because the level of broad popular distraction just hit ludicrous speed. The latest news, from AP: "Offering no explanation, the Iowa Republican Party has declared Rick Santorum as winner of the Iowa caucuses, days after saying incomplete vote results precluded it from doing just that. GOP State Chairman Matt Strawn and the party’s State Central Committee issued a statement late Friday naming the former Pennsylvania senator as the winner, “in order to clarify conflicting reports and to affirm the results” that were released Wednesday." Naturally, jokes about Paul votes being "hanging chad-ed" by Diebold machines are imminent: "Because eight precincts never turned in certified results, Strawn said in the statement Thursday that the party could not declare a winner. He congratulated both Santorum and Romney. Sixteen days earlier, Strawn had announced that Romney had won the caucuses by eight votes." But far more notable, from the PPP website: "Newt Gingrich heads into South Carolina election day as the clear front runner in the state: he's now polling at 37% to 28% for Mitt Romney, 16% for Rick Santorum, and 14% for Ron Paul. Gingrich's lead has actually increased in the wake of his ex-wife's controversial interview with ABC. Although one night poll results should always be interpreted with caution, he led the final night of the field period by a 40-26 margin. One thing that continues to work to his advantage are the debates. 60% of primary voters report having watched the one last night, and Gingrich has a 46-23 lead with those folks. The other reason his ex-wife's interview isn't causing him much trouble is that there's a lot of skepticism about it. Only 31% of voters say they think her accusations are true while 35% think they are false and 34% are unsure. 51% of voters say that they have 'no concerns' about what came out in the interview." In other words: three primaries are about to lead to three different winners. What can we say: America always gets the president it deserves.
More from PPP:
The skepticism of Republican voters toward the media is helping Gingrich as well. Just 14% of likely voters have a generally favorable opinion of the media, while 77% view it negatively. Gingrich's attacks on the media have clearly played well with the party base.
Gingrich is leading with pretty much every key segment of the Republican electorate. He's up 41-21 on Romney and Santorum with Evangelicals, he has a 52-18 advantage on Romney with Tea Partiers, he leads Santorum 44-21 with 'very conservative' voters with Romney at 20%, and he's up 39-26 with men.
In the final week of the campaign Gingrich rose from 24% to 37% in PPP's polling while Romney basically stayed in place, going from 29% to 28%. Romney saw a 15 point decline in his net favorability in the closing stretch from +24 (57/33) to just +9 (51/42). Gingrich saw a modest increase in his numbers over the final week from +14 (51/37) to +17 (54/37).
Usually when we poll in the closing days before an election and find someone ahead by 9 points we'll say with a pretty high degree of confidence that person's going to win. I'm not comfortable saying that about South Carolina. A primary election with a lot of new news in the closing days for voters to absorb is fertile ground for a final result that's at odd with the polls. Mark Blumenthal's piece today for Huffington Post about 'expecting the unexpected' tomorrow is well worth a read. Gingrich will probably win tomorrow- but there's a higher than normal chance for a surprise given everything that's gone down in the last 48 hours.

Yes, it matters a great deal. When the USD collapses after losing it's status as the Reserve Currency, America will go into one of two directions; A Totalitarian Socialism State or back to the Constitution Republic. The more people like Dr. Paul and others can remind Americans that all things good come from Freedom and Liberty, the better chance it will be the Republic.
The boat called America steers dangerously close to shallow waters. Only a capable captain can turn it from danger.
Except for Ron Paul, the other top tier GOP primary candidates now seem to fit Ambrose Bierce’s definition of “inverted” gentlemen :
Men “whose qualities, prepared for display like a box of berries in a market – the fine ones on top – have been opened on the wrong side.”
Vote counting at secret location , always. Thats why Ron Paul finish 2nd always everywhere.
Tad of a repost, but important:
"In South Carolina, 100% of election results will be redirected through a private Barcelona, Spain-owned company, Scytl/SOE Software, before being reported to the public."
http://www.blackboxvoting.org/
GOP are using tac voting directed by party elders to keep the romney/santorum ball in the air, it seems that everything they do to win their primary is losing them votes in the presidential election.
It's known as the anybody but RP show.

Can we elect a tree?
Can trees have names? If so then we can elect a tree.
Elect a tree. It turns bad Co2 into good O2. Whats not to like about a tree?
You dont have to worry about guns with a tree. Although saws, fire and weed killer my have a tough time lobbing for support.
re Can we elect a tree?
Don't see why not - especially since we've already elected a bush and a shrub...
Does anyone know what mortgage rates and down payments are in Greece or where to find that information?
No idea about mortgage deposits.
But what I can tell you is that when I was there a few years back, a "throat deposit" was about 5 drachma (tip not incl). Hope this helps.
ALL Congressional Republicans and their Presidential candidates should be out in Iowa and South Carolina looking for jobs. Take Faux Noise news cameras, the ACORN pimp, and film the process. Show American exactly where the Republican tax cuts have created jobs in the US.
If they can't, they need to be called liars, to their face.
Ron Paul has won almost every poll I have seen regarding anything about this election.
I used to think my vote got counted. I'm not so sure anymore.
If you're talking about internet polls, those things have been spammed more than Kyle Bass' basement. I wouldn't put any stock by them.
Gingrich is like BAC's balance sheet: as his reputation goes to shit, he becomes more valuable. We should call it a Douchebag Valuation Adjustment (DVA)
Could we counter the poll and vote rigging if a huge number of voters registered Libertarian to vote for whoever was the Libertarian candidate (ie Ron Paul or Gary Johnson), or is there some way the establishment could lie about the number of registered Libertarians?
Re Do Americans have any idea how embarassing this is?
Probably not. Then again, Americans are not known as Dumb Yanks to the rest of the world for nuttin...
If voting made a difference, then surely, it would have been outlawed by now.
I mean no offence to anyone, but if any of you truly believe that anything useful is going to come out of this farce then prepare for a rude awakening.
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."
-- Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI think Johann has a point.
I simply cannot believe Ron Paul's numbers, I concede, they are a marked improvement over 08 but I refuse to think that Americans are really *that* out-of-touch with reality.The Grinch is a real piece of work. Sucks down 1.6 M from Freddie Mac, "advising them". Crooked to the core. Dumps 2 wives for younger models, yep he is a paragon of virtue, a caring sort of person. His negatives are so high, Obama will be licking his chops. I think there are those that are informed, and those that think they are informed by watching and reading the mainstream press. Paul does great with the informed, just look at about every internet poll. Paul wins them all. It's the other group that is the problem. You try to talk to them, but their minds are filled with propaganda. They simply can't recognize the truth because it means everything in their belief system is wrong.
Yes, in fact, all the thinking “Republicans” have now left the party and are Independents who can’t vote in closed primaries unless they re-register as Republicans, which is what I, but few others, do. Those remaining in the Republican Party, those who select the nation's opposition “choice” for President, are either Bush Republicans and/or Israel-first evangelicals who mainly are good hearted but politically naïve and have been herded into the party, church en masse, by activist ministers – many of whom are extreme leftists who have infiltrated the church for this purpose, i.e., wolves in shepherds' clothing. I have seen them in action.
A sad story.
If all votes were actually recorded, what's the betting Ron Paul would wipe the floor every time.
I think VERY high.
Don't allow complacency to rule. We had that happen a few times in the UK and allowed the freekin BNP to have elected representatives.
Conversely, if everyone that actually wants RP in, votes for RP and gets some sheep to turn off Bone Idol for five minutes, you will get Ron Paul.
Just say they're offering free donuts if you vote for RP. At least you'll get the Police vote!
"There's no way to win. The game itself is pointless!"

Hey, I know, to avoid fraud lets move all vote counting to a super secret location. Counted by a super secret select group. The results will then be made public, informing all how they should have voted? fuckers
I thought this article was a pretty fair assesment of this circus.
http://the-compass.org/2012/01/21/south-carolinas-big-night/
Now the three worst candidates all have a win. The polls are bs. The election results are bs. This is a manufactured reality.
No way Gingrich with his ethics violations in politics and home life could honestly win. Worse than Herman Cain. When somebody like this wins an election, it's rigged.
It's not like we've had a whole lot to choose from on the menu. Ron Paul is good but he'll be an octogenarian by the end of his first term; that's unreal
He's sharp and his greatest demographic of support is young people. It's brazenly obvious it's rigged.
Current Biography Yearbook for 1989 gives this snapshot of Newt’s early career:
After graduating from Emory [University in Atlanta] in 1965, Gingrich received a master's degree from Tulane University in 1968. and a PhD. degree in modern European history in 1971. His behavior at Tulane appeared to belie his future conservatism and hawkish foreign policy views. He accepted student deferments rather than face the draft during the Vietnam War, experimented with marijuana, led a campus demonstration defending the school paper's right to print a nude photograph of a faculty member, and campaigned for Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller of NY in 1968 because of the governor's support of civil rights.
Fk it, "stupidity of a lot of men makes a few men very rich", can't remember who said that but was damn right.
All those who will vote for anyone other than Paul will be so sorry and more importantly economically fked in the years to come who will wish they could turn back time and vote for him. Remember "freedom fries"??!
I'd say fuck it, buy gold,silver and guns and profit from all this madness
Look at the amount of energy that is totally, fucking wasted on Presidential politics!! Only in the case of a complete wack-job, would our country suffer. The real meat is with congerssional elections and we flitter those away. If we had a Congress full of good, honest, hard working people, things would be different, regardless of the President.
Americans are soooooooo lazy (mentally and physically).
Regarding Ron Paul; well of course he can't win.....but he is playing a critical role for opening up American's eyes. I salute him for that in a big way. I mean he could be retired somewhere drinking wine at 5:00 like most of our generation. He's really a statesman versus a politician. Not many (any) of those around. Certainly, not the likes of the Newtster. He ought to be disqualified just on his appearance and physical condition; pastie skin and fat ass!
this country is filled with shit-for-brains idiots. Do these results surprise you?
There's a time when you've gotta cut your losses and leave the table. "America" hasn't been America since Hamilton had his dirty hands all over it; you fools are high on some fantasy concept of "America" that will never exist. Flush the whole damned thing.
Andrew Jackson's Skeletal Remains For President 2012
"He killed the central banks once, he can do it again"
GOD DAMN IT!!!
Im not saying Gingrich would make a bad president, just that he will never be president!!!
A vote for Gingrich is a vote for Obama!!! Gingrich can NEVER win a general election! This coming from a (fiscally) conservative Republican that was part of the Republican Revolution of 96!
I totally supported him back then. But he got his ass handed to him by Bill Clinton so badly, HOW CAN WE BE EVEN THINKING ABOUT THIS!!!
Talk about giving away the election! Gingrich will loose the woman and minority votes by 90 to 10. And he can not get any moderates or youth votes!
I am so certain of this I would rather vote for Paul or Santorum!
Paul could at least get the youth vote and the Perot vote!! Santorum at least has less baggage!!
Romney is the only candidate polling halfway decently vs Obama!!
Please (social) conservatives, DON'T DO THIS TO US!!!
We cannot survive 4 more years of Obama!
I'm not sure we aren't so far gone that ANYONE can help us, but 4 more years of Commrade O will finish off this great country once and for all!!!!!
You make no sense, my friend. You seem to think there is a substantive difference between Obama and Romney. Both men are much more moderate than their partisan supporters want them to be (and their opponents claim them to be), both support crony capitalism, and both support the military industrial complex and endless war. Sure, with Obama you MAY get a 39.6% top bracket IF Dems also take the House and keep the Senate (very unlikely), but our runaway deficits mean you won't get any more tax cuts regardless of whether we have a Republican president.
So tell me, how does a 4.6% increase in the top bracket equate to "we cannot survive 4 more years of Obama"? How stupid do you think ZH readers are?
As for me, I'll be voting for the man I believe is the most decent, thoughtful and principled candidate regardless of whether I think he can "beat" the "other guy". That is Ron Paul, and my vote for him will at least have the effect of sending the message I want to send. My vote for tweedle dee or tweedle dum sends a message I do not want to send, ie., that I will fall into line every time behind whichever candidate the oligarchs chose for each of the two corrupt parties.
Well, it's nice to see a "pretty boy" get stuffed - see ya, Mitt...
Great country for the 1%, in America, freedom rules - the freedom to fuck-over the 99% of us in many and myriad ways... Go ahead, tell me it ain't so...
Santorum? Eeeewww.
If the sheep could step back from the "red team, blue team" game long enough they would see that they are being played like a fiddle. If the Republican party dies the Democratic party goes with it and vice versa. Newt drives the left nuts and in doing so they will rally around the party war drum en mass thus reinvigorating the left. The right loves it when Newt bitch slaps the MSM when the camera is rolling and they love the thought of Newt kicking our numbskull Presidents ass around the stage in a series of debates. So Newt is the perfect candidate for TPTB to run against their own guy. Re-energize both sides, begin a new red team/blue team Superbowl and by the looks of the comments the TPTB got many of you suiting up for game time, BITCHEZ!
Heads they win, tails you lose...get it!
call me cynical, but this is all a show, the outcome has already been determined by TPTB
No, you're absolutely right. This is why network TV is nothing but reality shows with no scripts...they've had all the writers working on this campaign for years.
Since we Republicans seem to always be in this mode of letting open primaries, the media, and democrat adwisors select our "Bob Dole" I felt this time we ought to let Ron Paul be our "Bob Dole". At least the message is clean and heartfelt.
I have had a change in thinking - I now believe that Romney will give the best concession speech so I have decided to support Romney as our "Bob Dole" this time. I still like Ron Paul but he will be outclassed on the concession speech - sorry guys.
Like a broken clock, Krugman is correct every so often. Here’s a strike on Gingrich:
“Gingrich is the stupid man’s idea of what a smart person sounds like.”
Says Business Insider: George Will summed up Newt as "the classic rental politician."
Gingrich is an amazingly efficient candidacy in that it embodies almost everything disagreeable about modern Washington...People think his problem is his colorful personal life. He's going to hope people concentrate on that, rather than on, for example, ethanol. Al Gore has recanted ethanol, not -- Newt Gingrich has served the ethanol lobby. Industrial policy of the sort that got us Solyndra, he's all for it. Freddie Mac, he says, hired him as a historian. He's not a historian. Hire Sean Wilentz, hire Gordon Wood if you want a historian

gingrich is a globalist tyrant and warmonger. why would anyone on this blog want to support him?
Anybody but Obama. The FEMA camps will be smaller and the transition will slow them down.
Which president set up the fema camps, you was warned by people that the dems would keep any and all expanded government powers that bush used.
It asnt bush per se that aas dangerous it was the expansion of powers he ruled over.
Free speech zones, shurely a dem wouldnt do that sort of thing.................
Anybody but Obama. The FEMA camps will be smaller and the transition will slow them down.

Not sure if this has been seen, but if CNN says Ron Paul came in second in Iowa, and the isrealli companies are counting the votes to insure accuracy, then it must be true.

yup, nation of morons deserve douchbags like romney and obama as their president ...
So a state, in which a never before event (at least to my knowledge) happens during a debate as the host is boo'd and hissed at by audience members as they shout "RON PAUL", votes for the status quo? Anyone else smelling something as rotten as the snatch in pelosi's panties.. Not only do they steal from our wallets.. but from our ballots as well. Now now.. I know I have no proof or evidence and it's merely an unfounded suspicion... but, I'm just sayin'..
We are now officially a f*ucking third world country.
Weeeeell, just wait a little bit longer until the process of Cubanization initiated by Obama is complete. I think Americans already got used to United States of Cuba.
The marketing of America to Americans
stay out the bushes!
stay out the bushes!
The Mormon thing will not fly. Newt is way overdue for an implosion that will make Howard Dean's seem minor... Sanitorium is an angry bible-thumper who judges all but himself...
That leaves PAUL or Obama. BO gives a nice speech, but his main promise was to go after the corrupt that caused the 2008 meltdown, and instead he jumped into bed with them, instructing his monkey Holder to prosecute NOTHING. So he is out.
I personally will write-in Paul if he is not on the ballot. I am hoping he picks Jeb Bush as a running mate, even though the Bushes are corrupt beyond belief, that may get him in... n Bill Black as AG, Grant as Treasury, Webb as Defense.

The rigging is so brazenly obvious.
In the 2004 presidental election I was working in MIS for CNN which was the network that collected all the exit polling information from Edison-Mitofsky and provided it to all the other major networks [after being run through the EM algorithms]. In the mid-afternoon, all exit polling was indicating that Kerry was substantially leading George Bush - look what happened! Free elections, yeah, right!
The marketing of America to Americans must proceed as planned. It must be conducted with timing and precision. And best of all? It never takes long before the BS starts to be spread around by the rubes themselves. And then we collect

They didn't even count more than two thirds of the votes for Ron Paul, yet he still got 14%. That makes him the overwhelming and unarguable winner.

You are exactly correct about the Natural Born Citizen status. When this issue first came up, I spent days reading thru information related to the issue. If anyone takes the time, it becomes very, very clear that the original intent on the "Natural Born" requirement, was to have a President who was born of two "American" born parents- to avoid having any with British Allegiance. The founders naturally made exceptions for the first Presidents becasue they COULDn't be born of two American parents- and THIS reveals their intent.
Now, what most Americans believe, when they hear of this argument - without making any effort to understand it: they believe that the question is if Obama is a CITIZEN or not- NOT a "Natural Born" citizen. These are two differnt issues: HE IS a US Citizen; he is NOT a "Natural Born" one. Obama's father was clearly a "British Subject". I think any true Constitutional scholar would agree with this. Obama himself surely understands he is not eligible to be President - if he doesn't, he is no scholar himself.
Secondly, Obama seems to have spent millions of dollars BLOCKING any access to his school records, and travel records. Generally, someone who is int he spotlight spending this much effort to obfuscate, means he is hiding something.
Unfortunately, it simply doesn't matter at this point - there is simply no one left in our government or schools, who can bring this to a real court. I would hope that, if any one has read this far - if this issue of "Natural Born" doesn't seem clear to you, spend some time researching the issue. The usual argument against the Natural Born claim is that it is Racist in origin. It isn't racist to simply want to know the truth - and it doesn't matter what race you are - if you are lying and covering up, you deserve to go down.
Iowa, oh I get it. I Owa, I owe a ...bill for that NewtRomneySantorum. Bankrupt country at 100.3% debt to GDP in a zero interest State of ...Iowa, paaaaathetic. Rip mercy down like The Cross at the Kabba will you? ...not without paying the price. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmSBYnsswAg
Obonzo will win again, all this republican stuff if a waste of time. The republican field is a joke, it's already over, was months ago.
Obama openly wants to Cubanize the country. Anybody is better than Obama.
Obamney is exactly that. Not better, not worse, exactly the same.
Anyone who is still looking for a leader to get us out of where we are, is naive. I mean it would be great, but it's just not reality.
With the Repugs putting up shit candidates like these ones (excepting RP), how embarrasing will it be not to be able to unseat the current occupant that is the custodian of a shitty ecomony, hasn't done shit in 4 years, broken promises ("change"), etc.???? How will they explain that shit away? Normally, a shitty economy=getting your ass booted. But that ain't gonna happen this time.
It hardly makes a difference to the majority of the population as to who wins the election. They all make rules for the benefit of and work for the real rulers of the world, the top 1% of the population.

Trouble is, the rest of the world is lumbered with moronic voter choices by US citizens also.
And for a recent update on Romney's adventures in "capitalism":
http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/11/01/316040/romney-solamere-ponzi/
Mitt Romney, his son Tagg, and Romney’s chief fundraiser, Spencer Zwick, have extensive financial and political ties to three men who allegedly participated in an $8.5 billion Ponzi scheme. A few months after the Ponzi scheme collapsed, a firm financed by Mitt Romney and run by his son and chief fundraiser partnered with the three men and created a new “wealth management business” as a subsidiary.
In an exclusive interview with ThinkProgress, Tagg Romney confirmed their business relationship, but falsely claimed that the men were cleared of any wrongdoing associated with the Ponzi scheme. Tagg Romney told ThinkProgress that his three partners collected about $15,000 from their involvement in the Ponzi scheme. Court documents obtained by ThinkProgress show that the legal proceedings are ongoing and the men made over $1.6 million selling fraudulent CDs to investors.
The Ponzi Scheme
In 2009, prosecutors announced charges against the Stanford Financial Group, which managed a portfolio of $8.5 billion, for running a “massive, ongoing fraud” against its investors. The Ponzi scheme bust was one of the largest in recent history, second only to Bernie Madoff, who perpetrated a fraud estimated to be around $17 billion. The Stanford Ponzi scheme wiped out the savings of thousands, including many American retirees across the country. In Texas, 1290 people lost their retirement savings because of the Stanford Ponzi scheme; in Louisiana, several hundred reportedly suffered the same fate.
The Romney Business Connection
Launched in 2008 by Romney’s son Tagg and a few others, including Mitt Romney’s chief fundraiser Spencer Zwick, Solamere Capital is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it primarily invests in other investment companies, like private equity groups.
Mitt Romney himself made a $10 million initial seed investment in Solamere Capital and his personal financial disclosure forms reveal that he has received between $100,000 and $1 million in returns from his stake in Solamere. Romney has come under fire for refusing to release his tax returns, which would likely reveal additional details about his financial relationship with Solamere Capital.

This isn't America selecting a candidate. This is the Banks and MSM selecting a candidate.
I take some comfort in the fact that the algorithims being used to track my Internet browsing must not be very good, as Obama's sickeningly smug, sneering visage is peering out at me behind the words "TELL BARACK YOU'RE IN" ... wtf??? Also, #RAWNPAWL. For the record though, I have a certain inexplicable affection for Gingrinch, not because I feel that he's less of a sellout than the rest, he isn't, but because he once in a while has allowed an original though to enter in his head, and because he's neither a Mormofascist plutocrat nor Rick Santorum nor any of the other clowns. He's a clown, but he's the least clownish of the clown troop, except of course for the old dude that tells the truth, and if he doesn't run as a 3rd party candidate, I think I'll cry. But Gingrich over Obama or Romney, by a country mile. Unfortunately, that mile won't get us very far, we need Paul to take us a thousand or so the fuck away from where ever it is we've wound up now.
.. and as I refresh the page, it's Romney's ugly mug looking at me. Judging by his expression, the magic underwear must be bunched up. WTF??? What's with the political ads of people who the readers of this site are more likely than not to utterly detest?
(and refreshing again, it's Obama again.)
(also, Kim Jong Il liked to look at things.)
I seem to remember reading about a simular event that happened long, long ago. They shouted: "GIVE US BARABBAS!!" Americans today are just as bad.
