Navada should send Newt Gingrich packing by placing him last and other States should follow, this would be good for the country because Newt is unfit.
Very frustrated with the caucus. My wife and I took our 2 kids to caucus this morning, voted and were told we were done so we left. 10 minutes later a friend texted us to let us know that they had used the incorrect pieces of paper and had to re-vote. Because of that mistake, Romney lost almost 50% of his votes but luckily still won the precinct. Now, I wasted over an hour of my day to not have my vote count. I cannot explain how angry I am at the broken caucus system.
Results for precinct 1717, total of 70 voters, Gingrich-22, Paul-6, Romney-39, Santorum-3
Gingrich did a better job when he pointed out what Romney's company, Bain, was all about. In this economy that was a winning message. Wonder why he stopped. He went into Florida a winner with a good message and came out a whiner. Doesn't anyone else wonder who put the clamps on Gingrich?
Am I missing something, or did only 50 people vote in Las Vegas?
