ROMNEY 415

SANTORUM 176

GINGRICH 105

PAUL 47

HUNTSMANN 2

who owns the media? why are they so anti-romney? I mean he clearly is in the lead! he has more delagates,more popuar votes than the others combined! kinda tells ya the people you vote for don't run the country! the guy behind the scenes is pulling the strings! If we had a decent media outlet you would think these enties could be brought to light!
makes you wonder why we haven't changed the law on how we elect a president. How did this start? was it because in the 1700's they had so far to travel or they had no way to
count the vote and get it there in time? well it's a new world and we have the tecnology to
make it a one vote one man election! that would take the election out of the powerfulls hands!
hmmm hmmm this has been discussed many times in my lifetime -don't you think its time we started doing something about how the most important job in the world is achieved?
really this should be one man one vote rule like every other electin we have!

It's about the horse race and generating interest/ratings(ad revenue). It is not about anything else.

It was always going to be Romney from the start. He will lose to Obama in November. Although you will shortly see the polling numbers "magically" start to narrow so that the horse race is continued.
