Down to 6....probably 5 soon, Huntsman won't be able to keep up with the others.

Sounds like he's dropping out if he doesn't finish top 3 in NH.

The Mitt did his job, it wasn't his job to win, that's just a bonus, but it was his job to make sure Newt didn't win. He spent $Millions in negative ads and they worked. Low voter turnout though.
Low voter turnout?

compared to the 240,000 who turned out for the 2008 Democratic vote in Iowa....when the turnout was about 125,000 in 2004.
also the number of registered republicans actually went down to 19% in this past vote...down from 21% in 2008.
the base isn't excited by this group of gimps.

That is because the Democratic caucuses are pretty fun events. The Republican ones are pretty boring as nothing is really decided other than bragging rights.
Not to completely disagree with your post, but it was either a record turnout for Republicans or it wasn't. Which is it?

sure it's a record turnout....but the base dropped 2% from 2008.
point is as of now the Repubs have a frontrunner who doesn't excite their base.....they're still almost begging for someone else to jump into the race.
we'll see how Mittens plays down south , he can either slam the door shut in South Carolina and Florida or this thing is going all the way to the convention...somethng you don't want when going into an election year against an incumbent POTUS.
McCain and the other Sr gimps are begging the party to get in line behind Romney as quick as possible a long Primary fight is the last thing Repubs want.

really...I wouldn't be to sure , already rumored the Wasilla Hockey Mom may cause a brokered convention.
Mittens is weak...once it's him vs Obama , Barry will mop the floor with him.
dudes been campaigning for almost 6 years and can't break the 25% barrier.

They were at each other's throats early in the primary process.
. . . or did you forget that?
I made no statement about who the hell they energized . . and I really don't care.
The Democratic gimps have been pulling the wool for years. Let's see how much youth comes out for this up coming election.
BTW - I don't really believe any of them are gimps, but you seem to have no problem garnishing your posts with that stupidity, so I can be just as stupid as you. :*)

ya you're pretty much a gimp when you spend 10's of millions running since 2008 and still can't poll over 25%.
you should care who they energized....they had record voter turnout...point is Repubs would rather stay home then vote for Romney...hence the lower turnout among the base in Iowa.
he beat a gay hating , jesus freak by 6 votes...lol
Who they energize comes much later in the primary process. Still too early, and about this time in 2008, there was no promise of energizing anyone. It wasn't until both sets of nominees were actually chosen, that anyone got "energized".
Now go ahead and find me a huffington post link that says otherwise.

Looking that way. If Republicans want a realistic chance of beating Obama, they are probably already backed into a corner. He is really the only one with the political machine in place to offer much of a challenge. I consider that part a shame, but you know - politics as usual.
