My guess is that whoever captures Newt’s 10% or so will win the nomination with quarters to fifths of the vote going to three frontrunners consistently. Although Sanatorium & Paul are not necessarily frontrunners.

Gingrich is a Southerner & Southerners love Southerners: Exh. A: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Republican_primary,_2008
Exh. B: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Carolina_Republican_primary,_2008 *although McCain Won, the southern vote was split between Huckabee (AK) & Thompson (TN). By the time GA voted, Thompson was out. & exhibit C: Gingrich was polling as high as 40% in December in SC. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/sc/south_carolina_republican_presidential_primary-1590.html

If Huntsman shows well in NH he may be a more attractive not-Romney to the Newt Crowd & if takes second in NH & Paul doesn’t show well in SC… Ambassador Huntsman might have a shot still. Or Newt could win in SC…

Jon Huntsman is in New Hampshire where he thinks his time is better spent.

You would think the Evangelicals would have given Mitt a little more support…or have they forgotten about the LDS workings on Prop. 8.

Oh well…

Santorum must have felt exhilaration during his final surge, but I expect the afterglow to be fleeting as he begins his slide back into oblivion.

“I would say Barack Obama was the winner of the Iowa Republican caucus”

Most excellent point.

“Mitt Romney barely squished passed the late surging Sen. Rick Santorum by a mere eight votes.”.

Wow. I imagine there will be several recounts.

The Iowa caucus results show the Republican Party is in complete disarray. It will be difficult for any eventual nominee to unite the party with sufficient enthusiasm and energy.

I would say Barack Obama was the winner of the Iowa Republican caucus. I hear he also won the Democratic caucus.
