Right now there is a big conflict between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Those two men want to choke each other so bad.

Great. I got the popcorn and beer. So when does the choking start?

Santorum won the Iowa recount but it won't make a difference...looks like clear sailing for Mitt ????? I can't see him nor Newt appealing to the majority against Obama !.....maybe a close election though

We'll see what happens in South Carolina. I didn't think Newt stood a chance in the beginning.

Question, MH...
Are the percentages for each state added together, or does each state count for one vote ??

neither. lol.
very screwy process
it's America, what can I say
states are assigned what are called delegates, based on population I assume
There are 2286 delegates at stake in the Republican primary.
A candidate must receive 1144 delegates to get the nomination.
Even more confusing, some states are winner take all, while others divide them up based on vote count.
Thus far, after voting in 3 states, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, here is the delegate count
Gingrich - 23
Romney - 19
Santorum - 12
Paul - 3
Huntsman - 2
are you now thoroughly confused?
