Balta1701 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 After today, John McCain has 32 delegates. Mitt Romney has 72 delegates. Romney's lead is actually going to grow today. Clearly, today is going to be interpreted as a huge win for McCain. Just watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 It will be because South Carolina was a contested state, Nevada wasn't really. Florida is the big test. McCain needs a win there, and its pretty much golden for him. If Guiliani pulls a win out of his ass, we're going to the GOP convention without a candidate.

NorthSideSox72 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 So this is interesting. 95% of the results are in for SC, here are the vote percentages... McCain: 33% Huckabee: 30% Thompson: 16% Romney: 15% Paul: 4% Giuliani: 2% Which looks like a close race, right? Except, according to CNN, here are the delegates... McCain: 19 Huckabee: 5 All others: 0 Someone explain THAT one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 An MSNBC article has buried in it a major reason for Romney's huge NV showing - half his votes came from Mormons. I had forgotten, but Nevada has a large Mormon population. So I'm not sure that Nevada victory is all that indicative of his future national performances (same with Wyoming, Utah's neighbor as well).

Rex Kickass Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Clinton's NH operation had some of the best field ops in the country, and it was her firewall. I'm not surprised about what she managed to do in NH, actually. The NV showing was a bit surprising, and in this case, I'm willing to believe the ones crying foul about voter disenfranchisement were the ones more actively looking to disenfranchise voters.
