   There is a type of heuristic bias that results when you think all people think just like you do or those that immediately surround you. Romney won and people should stop crying. He’s 1000 times better than Huckabee or McCain are anyway, and they will be the ones with the nomination unless Fred and Rudy backers start to get behind a candidate who can actually win.

   fred has said that his firewall is SoCarolina. and huck the schmuck is ahead there along with mccain. is that far enough out of the beltway for you?

   didn’t know that south carolina and iowa were in beltway, nor new hampshire for that matter. these candidates need to start taking the conservative party serious and realize that it is going to go to the media’s two darlings if we are not careful. thompson needs to make an alliance with romney as VP and take this and run to the whitehouse with him.

   that is the only strategy out of this mess. cause guiliani is not going to make an alliance with thompson nor the other way around. thompson is too conservative to link up with the huckster or mccain. otherwise we vote for a liberal (D) or a liberal (R). take your pick. ugh!

   Polls mean nothing. According to the polls, Hillary was suppposed to lose big in New Hampshire last night, but she won much to my dismay. But it just goes to show what polls mean. Those things are so easily manipulated. They all know what areas to call to get the results they want. Go Fred!!!

    Hasn’t anyone learned that polls are more often wrong than right. Sometimes they are right, but when they are wrong they are really really wrong! Yesterday they were telling us that she would loose to Obama by double digits and then she won by 5 digits, that is at least a 15 digit mistake. And they call themselves experts?!

    So are they going to investigate this or is this just people’s published whining?

    The results of Republican nonbinding straw polls in some Wyoming counties Saturday don’t jibe with the statewide delegate selection results…

    “There was no statewide organized straw poll. Each county was given the option of holding a straw poll if they wanted to,” Sansonetti said.

    He said about eight to 10 of the 23 counties did hold straw polls.

    I’m no export on party delegations, but… how exactly is this news?

    The delegates had no obligation to follow the results of the straw polls… if polls were even held in the counties they represent.

    If Wyoming Republicans don’t like this, then they should change their state’s method of choosing delegates.

    But I guess this answers the question of where Fred! has been expending effort… in winning a non-binding straw poll!

    It is amazing to me that anyone believes any poll contrived by liberals can be taken seriously.

    Hells bells, I could have gone to NH at midnight and voted in every precinct in the state that time permitted, no proof of residency required.

    Romney is a North East Liberal just like Rudy. Huckabee is a kindred spirit with the Clintons and Jimuh Cawta, McCain is a Kennedy lap dog and all four are disliked and un-electable anywhere outside of Dem. strongholds like Iowa and NH.
    Ron Paul, simply a bad joke.

    Thompson would loose support in every conservative state were he to choose anyone other than Hunter as a running mate, from the current crop of hopefuls that is.
    We would still vote for him, but we wouldn’t like it.

    Most people don’t know how they will vote until they are actually in the
    voting booth. You cannot believe the polls half the time because a lot of
    people lie to polltakers. One elderly gentleman that I know brags about lying
    to pollsters because, he says, his vote is private and they have no business asking him how he will vote in the first place. I asked him why he doesn’t just say, none of your business and he said he used to but decided it was more fun to shine them on.

    Here’s a conspiracy for you - that Hill’s team so is entangled with the press that they intentionally produced those polls - to show how much she comes back.
    In fact - didn’t Bill project this last week when he talked about Hill as the comeback kid?

    people were asking why the national news media were reporting Wyoming voted for Romney when her county’s straw poll gave him fourth place.

    So Buffalo County is the deciding factor?

    In Campbell County the straw poll was won by Paul with Romney as a close second. But in the vote for national delegate (which is the vote that counts), the vote was for the Romney supporter with the Paul supporter as a close second. And none of the other candidates had a supporter running for National Delegate, although Duncan Hunter’s brother gave us a nice speech.

    (Correct me if I’m wrong here Dave.)
