OK...how long before the Koch boys sit Mitt down for "the talk?"

The freepers are having a woo-hoo fest over Newt's "victory."

Mitt would have to pull some kind of MASSIVE win out of his ASS in order to still be in the game.

So how long before they sit him down and encourage him to "spend more time with his family?"

1. just as a matter of curiousity, how many delegates does newt have? mittens?

2. "A candidate needs a total of 1,144 delegates to win the Republican nomination."

As far as the math on where everyone's at right now, I can't tell you. Maybe someone else reading this post has been keeping track.

4. I just remember cenk saying that we shouldn't pay attention to the pundits and

their hysteria, since iowa, nh and sc combined don't even equal florida, and that iowa and nh are about ONE percent of the delegate count.

5. 11 delegates go to S.C.'s winner, so yeah...drop in the bucket.

It's more about hype and less about "election results."

6. so far, we are looking at a total of 65 delegates out of 1,144. yes, indeed, sounds

like a landslide to me.

3. I doubt they see any problem. They have no more sense of the common man than mitt has.
