52%; good grief! What is wrong with people? Nobody wants to think anymore; or maybe they can't think. Madison County needs to find a way to educate their children better. Judging by the writing on this commenting site, it appears they have been leaving a whole lot of kids behind, way behind, for a very long time.

Would love to know who the other 223 sane and well-educated folks are... Wish people would do their own research and vote based on facts instead of media opinion and their skewed sense of "morality." Ron Paul 2012 y'all...hopefully it's not too late.

So, your opinion is that people can't think for themselves because they didn't vote fr the candidate that you would have chosen?

Unfortunately, your point is unclear despite your grand education...since your comment lacked substance. Please, try again.

I love how the left fear 'ole Newt. They know deep down that Newt would easily outwit and devastate Obama head-to-head in a debate. It's obvious that Newt has far more leadership skills and world knowledge than Obama and that scares the left. A basic lack of leadership is what makes Obama ineffective. He should stick to the "community organizing" bit.
However, with that being said, I did not vote for Newt in the primary due to the fact the he is the quintessential Washington politician and would bring the "business as usual" presence to Washington. We need the outsider who has the potential to get the economy back in line and restore confidence in the American economy to the small businesses and investors.

Fear Newt? BWAHAHAHA!

I voted for Obama in 2008 and Romney is the only GOP candidate who would get my vote in the Presidential election. Santorum got my vote in the Georgia primary (funny how they let just any ol' registered voter cast a primary ballot), but I would vote for Obama if Santorum, Gingrich, Cain, or any other "tea party" lunatic makes the ticket.

Carry on.

I think its awesome that they voted for Newt.
Puts us that much closer to a brokered convention
where the people might actually have a time to voice the vote on who we want for President rather than have them ram one of their candidates down our throat again .
All theses candidates keep saying that they are the only ones that can beat Obama .
Sounds like they have forgotten one important fact here and that's We The People and with our vote we will be the ones who decide that want we ?
Well perhaps not if we have more voter fraud or our electoral college decides once again our fate for us .

The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.
