I will tell you what I find more interesting than virtually anything else out there. I listen to talk radio off and on basically throughout every day. That includes Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh (to a much lesser degree), Michael Savage, Sean Hannity (less often) and multiple local talk guys in Fort Wayne and Indy. Across all of the shows I just mentioned, no candidate has more supporters calling in and extolling the virtues of their candidate and exposing the myths than that of Ron Paul. All of the above hosts are basically anti-Paul guys, so I have no reason to believe that their screeners are told to let more Paul supporters on than others....I just think the Paul base is more jazzed up than anyone else, and as he continues to have solid showings, I am hopeful that those supporters will gain more traction and grow the base. |

Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism. | |

Well I think that is a given. I don't think anyone doubts that Paul's supporters are the most passionate. It is always a question of getting a broad range of support. Speaking of Ron Paul supporters, i was pleasantly surprised this morning when I went out to start my car and saw the people across the street from me had put up a Ron Paul for President sign in their front yard - they were Obama supporters in the last election. |

That is a plus. Those independant votes are a plus. How does Arkansas handle primaries? Are you limited to your registered party? |

We have ope primaries. You walk in and they ask you whether you are wanting to vote in the Republican or Democrat Primary and then hand you the ballot of the party you choose. I am registered as an independent and voted in the republican primary last election. |

This is why I could vote for Huntsman: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/08/jon-huntsman-new-hampshire-republican-debate_n_1192408.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HP%2FPolitics+%28Politics+on+The+Huffington+Post%29 Sorry for the HuffPo link. Couldn't find the full exchange anywhere else. |

If he is truly interested in unifying and avoiding rhetoric to win votes, then why did he throw out the whole 'Iowa picks corn, New Hampshire picks president' line? |

+1. Reminds me of Rush's stuff about wanting Obama to fail. Should we just stop trying to better our country if we don't agree with the man in the White House? |

LOL. 40% of the vote in and Romney has 37% of the vote, Paul 24%, Huntsman 17%, Gingrich and Santorum 10%, and Rick Perry 1% (a whole 572 votes so far). Another Lars candidate put to pasture. |

Probably 2. Perry is gonna stay in through SC, but there is no way he does better than 3rd there so that will be the end of his campaign. Huntsman has to be done after tonight. He put everything he had into NH and the best he could muster is 3rd. I'm guessing that he drops out and will eventually endorse Romney in the hopes of joining his ticket. |
