i fixed the spelling of the title.

results don't come in for another couple hours, so not sure what numbers you're working with.

ron paul MIGHT place ahead of frothy, but will certainly finish behind gingrich by far.

I know people are reporting their precincts on the dailypaul, so it probably comes from individuals so these numbers aren't official. The results are from google spreadsheet so I am not sure how that works exactly.

I hope not. However I think Ron Paul will do well on delegates regardless.

I must admit I am a little baffled on the actions of Sheldon Adelson, the man who has donated millions to fund Gingrich's campaign. As I am biting my nails waiting for the Nevada results (it seems Ron Paul may come in second), I was reading about a second caucus to be held by Adelson the Gingrich supporter in Nevada. The caucus is being held at a later time at a building owned by Adelson and is set up for Jewish supporters which are celebrating Sabbath today. I do not have a factual source and this information is hearsay at this point. I cannot find much information on the subject I just heard whispers about it on Fox and throughout the net. It seems fishy to me and I am assuming that this caucus event will favor Gingrich.

On a sidenote, Adelson is being investigated for bribery. Makes me scratch my head:

from the time the sun went down friday night until it goes down saturday night, observant jews like adelson are "shomer shabbos". i'll let walter sobchak explain:

they would otherwise be unable to vote unless polls were allowed to remain open until after sundown. makes sense for a saturday caucus.

I understand the religious reasoning, but why is this blatant Gingrich supporter and multi-million dollar contributor hosting said event?

lol. Ron Paul gets owned again. Can you guys finally admit your little tardolution has been a complete failure?

I tried to tell you that you can't simply spam your way into the whitehouse.
