Mitt Romney wins 39% of the votes, followed by Ron Paul -23%, Jon Huntsman -17% and in the 4th and 5th place is Gingrich and Santorum with about 9.5% each, Perry was not even in the picture. By the way, it is the first time a Republican candidate has won both Iowa and New Hampshire.
Personally, I like Ron Paul, but he does not have the nationwide support and may not administer his policies well, same goes with Huntsman, a moderate Republican and I relate with him, he does not have the support system either at this time, but he will be a real threat to Obama. That leaves us with Romney, he needs to clean his slate, he has got a few wrong advisors on his team and Obama will run the mower down on him. If the economy turns around and unemployment drops to 8% -Obama is a sure win, Americans are sick of what the Republicans are doing to the country and Obama becomes a clear choice for the Middle America.
The first state where the party members cast their vote is Iowa; from there it is New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and the other states.
Gingrich attacked Romney calling him corporate raider, which rightfully made the made the Party Leaders speak out, that is going too far. Both Gingrich and Santorum are extremists in their approach to finding solutions and I hope the voters recognize and dump them early on. Perry should drop out and not be an embarrassment to himself, let alone Texans. The more he talks, the more he makes an ass of himself.
