– Why is that a surprise. If you had 12 dutiful wives, all lined up in gingham and pulling the lever your way, your vote would be powerful too.

Don’t underestimate the ability of Romney to mobilize LDS voters. A few months ago I was talking to a woman I used to work with and hadn’t spoken to in a couple years. She’s Mormon. She told me that for the first time in her life she had become politically active and was working for a political campaign – Romney’s.
As I said in an earlier thread, the vote in my precinct was overwhelmingly for Romney. I spoke to a couple people afterward, each of whom had moved to Vegas within the last 10 years and each of whom supported Romney. Although I didn’t ask about religion I noted that each had moved here from a very heavily Mormon area.
Here’s another tidbit: the state with the most Mormons? It’s not Utah. It’s California.
– We’ll see where things stand after Florida. Up til now, all the primaries have been “winners home turf” centered. That accounts for all the “shades” of things so far. Florida will be the first full test for Rudi, but really for all of them.
Mormons have to be pretty pissed after Huckabee’s hate campaign. You gotta repudiate that shit or it festers.
Romney got about 69% of the 9% of LDS voters in Nevada, but the bigger story is:
From exits: Romney won white born-again/evangelical Christians, 32%-24% over Mike Huckabee. White evangelicals were 19% of the vote in Nevada, and this is the second consecutive contest where they went for Romney.
Huckabeen.
happyfeet: I live in the middle of So. Calif. Mormon country and you are right, although they use the word “offended,” rather than “pissed.”
Welcome, visitors from CNN! Take your shoes off and take look around.
All of us should be offended really, at least a little. Unless you’re like a journalist or something.
what appears to be 95 per cent LDS voters plumping for Romney and with heavy black voting for obama we are seeing the cultural and social polarization of American society running away. Not positive!
whaaaa? I are not balkanized.

Oh phooey. Obama is not going to do well in the Western states because Hispanics can’t stand blacks and also because they are quite religious. But even more so because voters are smart enough to recognize that he is not ready for prime time, meaning to be Chief Executive/Commander-in-Chief.
On the other side, phooey too. I’m a seasoned citizen white woman who, although spiritual, abhors any organized religion and I have supported Mitt Romney from the day he announced and even before. He now has more delegates in his column than all the other candidates’ combined.
Give me a break. George W. Bush got 95% of the Mormon vote and Romney got 94%. So what does that tell you? Bush must secretly be Mormon too? NOT!!!!
oh. per cent. Two words, see? Gareth is not from here. It’s a Euro-thing to always be anticipating that the U.S. will fracture cause they have no concept at all of integration. It’s harmless mostly.
why would that be a bad thing? when 95 percent of blacks vote for Dems they consider that a good thing. just another double standard.
Interesting that in Nevada on the Dem side that Hillary got 51%, Obama 45% and Uncommitted came in 3rd at 31%.
Hasn’t Nevada played with that “none of the above” thing before? I think they’re kind of used to it out there.
Current delegate count according to CNN, after Nevada:
Romney 72; Huckabee 24; McCain 19; Thompson 8; Paul 6; Guiliani 2; Hunter 1
CNN still has 3 delegates of the 34 for Nevada unassigned which will probably be Romney’s.
Thompson has as many delegates as Paul and Giuliani put together!! Romney better not get cocky.
Hispanics went for Clinton 64% in Nevada to Obamas 24%. Told ya’
They are saying that in SC the vote is all over the place with McCain leading in the low country, Huckabee winning upstate and Romney doing very well in the central part. Doesn’t look real good for Thompson. But, these are reports based on exit polls, so take with a huge grain of salt.
When you say that things don’t look good for Thompson it makes me feel sad.
So 124% of registered voters voted. That sounds about right for the Democrats.
Nevada still does have “None of these candidates” as an option in every race.
I’m sad for all my friends around the blogosphere who are Fredheads. They have a lot invested in him emotionally. As for Fred himself, I have never been convinced he really wanted the hassle of being President. Would he consider a VP slot with Romney? I would like that.
127, oops. Guess I shouldn’t comment on other people’s math.
I would like that too. Mitt and Fred. It’s like discovering a lost Twain novel, it is.
MikeC, I hope you don’t think the original post numbers are my math. I took it off the TV screen. However, I think Independents could vote in either primary, so that may account for the off numbers.
No, I didn’t. I figured you were just relaying info you received from somewhere else.
happy (#14) and JD (#15), both great points. Sara (#24), that would be a good ticket, imo.
I don’t think Independents could vote in the GOP. It was my understanding that only those who had been registered as Republicans 30 days before the caucus could participate. As I said in another thread, the Dems’ rules allowed virtually anyone to vote in theirs.
Also, in the GOP caucus, we only voted for delegates to the county convention. Each person running to be a delegate was given 60 sec to speak during which time they were not obligated to reveal which candidate they supported. Most, but not all, of these potential delegates in my precinct did. The straw poll was taken after the election of delegates and alternates.
The delegates are not bound to vote for any particular candidate at the county convention. Which means any speculation about the distribution of delegates at this point is extremely premature.
MikeC: I bow to your first hand experience. On the Dem side, they were doing same day registration at one polling place highlighted on Fox. I also heard one commentator correct another one and say that Indys could vote in both caucuses, but neither seemed too smart, so you probably know better.
SC 1% of vote: McCain 36%, Huckabee 23%, Romney 19%, Thompson 12%, Guiliani 5%, Paul 4%
BTW, I should probably note that anything I post about results is coming from Fox, just to be clear.
What is it going to take to make Huckabee and Edwards bow out?
“As for Fred himself, I have never been convinced he really wanted the hassle of being President.”
Well, sure. But that is what I like about him.
Edwards probably cannot go on much longer. Huck has every reason to stay in for a while.
Huckabee won’t bow out. He’s not running a campaign, he’s building a congregation.
Now that Thompson is out I wonder if he’ll throw in with Romney as he had some good things to say about him a few weeks ago
