But because he wants to make this discussion about grandfathers. Not just because of the tie to heritage and story. But because Santorum knows that by bringing in his grandfather, the media will inevitably, dialectically turn to Romney's grandfather. Gaskell Romney. Who fled the U.S. to Mexico to practice polygamy before returning illegally to the country.

yoshifan823 01/03/12 10:08:00 PM #262:	The thought of a Rick Santorum presidency makes me sick to my stomach. That said, I think tonight's results are bad news for Republicans. Two of the top three candidates have things about them that make them unappealing to a number of Republican voters, with Ron Paul being far from the ideal Republican candidate and not supported by the Republican base, and Romney's Mormonism inevitably being an issue for a lot of people. If Romney (the inevitable candidate) has trouble racking up as much support as he got 4 years ago in Iowa, how will he manage to win an election? <cite>yoshifan823 posted [p:621038] in Iowa Caucu...

SubDeity 01/03/12 10:21:00 PM #283:	Romney has trouble racking up support in the primaries largely because he's too moderate, and primaries reward extremists. The main election, on the other hand, rewards moderates. This is only true based on the median voter model which is dreadfully flawed in several ways. Independent voters are swayed a lot by the perceived direction of the country, a handful of issues they care about, and the particular nature of the candidates involved. They can be brought on board by a compelling narrative or the general enthusiasm for a candidate. Going purely by the median voter model it doesn't really make sense for Obama to have beaten McCain by what he did; he obvious benefited from the special nature of his candidacy and the toxic environment for even moderate Republicans. In contrast, Romney is in reality quite weak because almost nobody is passionate about him. If Republicans don't care about Romney moderates certainly won't. His only hope is to get people to rally behind Obama hate. -- SubDeity wants to vote for Calvin Coolidge. [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. <cite>SubDeity posted [p:621059] in Iowa Caucu...

Don't know who he is, and I'm not going to bother looking it up. Feel free to feel smug knowing about obscure political figures, though, if it brightens your day somehow. He's the terrible f*head that launched a campaign in Iowa in 2010 to remove judges from their position on the Iowa Supreme Court because they (correctly) ruled in a way that he found unsatisfactory. I'm more concerned about social issues than financial issues, which is why I find Santorum so disgusting. Mitt Romney, for all that is bad about him, gives only the token amount of time and effort towards social issues that essentially as dogwhistles for those social conservatives, while Santorum makes "family values" an integral part of his campaign. Anyone who compares being gay to incest and bigamy and adultery and actively campaigns to remove/continue to withhold rights for those citizens (see his support of anti-sodomy laws) should not be in control of the smallest town in America, let alone the entire country. And this isn't even bringing in his bad habit of turning what would normally be a horrible event in any family (both his dead on arrival child and his daughter with Trisomy-18) into a political statement. <cite>yoshifan823 posted [p:621060] in Iowa Caucu...

yoshifan823 01/03/12 10:30:00 PM #288:	Also, Rick Santorum is against having a right to privacy in the bedroom, which to him extends as far as wanting the government to be able to prohibit the sale of contraceptives. You cannot say you're both in favor of small government and Rick Santorum, because dude love his government control, but instead of over money, it's over your sex lives. Rick Santorum only has sex in the missionary position and only when he wants to have a kid, and he wants you to do the same, and he'll change the law to make that happen. <cite>yoshifan823 posted [p:621064] in Iowa Caucu...

From: DetroitDJ \| #275 Romney has trouble racking up support in the primaries largely because he's too moderate, and primaries reward extremists. The main election, on the other hand, rewards moderates. This exactly. Evangelical Christians will vote for him over Obama, but they would never vote for a Mormon in the primaries. Religion has nothing to do with this. Rick Santorum is Catholic. Religion has a lot to do with it. Santorum beat down Romney amongst Evangelicals. Yeah, he's Catholic, but that's more acceptable than Mormon. For example, I'd expect a Jewish candidate to succeed long before a Muslim candidate. <cite>AlecTrevelyan006 posted [p:621065] in Iowa Caucu...

"Santorum garnered 34% of evangelical caucus-goers, according to entrance polls, the libertarian Ron Paul garnered 19%, while Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich each took 14% of that vote and Rick Perry got 13%.

masterplum 01/03/12 10:36:00 PM #297:	From: Mershaaay \| #279 Religion has nothing to do with this. Rick Santorum is Catholic. Last poll I saw said that 25% of the nation wouldn't vote for a Mormon, which was higher I believe then every category other than Muslim. I think that statistic isn't actually accurate because I think that those people who say that would change their minds in a general election, but it makes it extremely difficult for either Romney or Huntsman to win the nomination -- yE frE me Kweku Ananse Papa me:http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/1508/masterplumgm3.jpg?tti?tti?tti?tti <cite>masterplum posted [p:621073] in Iowa Caucu...

GaryOak151 01/03/12 10:36:00 PM #301:	According to David Wasserman of the Cook Political Report, the outstanding precinct in Clinton County, which has slightly favored Mitt Romney tonight, had 422 John McCain voters in the general election of 2008. Based on the ratio of caucus-goers tonight to the number of votes for Mr. McCain in 2008, that would imply it has about 75 caucus votes outstanding. By the same method, the outstanding precinct in Keokuk County, which has the wonderfully Iowan name "Sigourney Plank Van Buren" and which might favor Mr. Santorum, should have about 30 caucus-goers. - Nate Silver -- Warning_Crazy Winner of Board 8 Big Brother! <cite>GaryOak151 posted [p:621077] in Iowa Caucu...
