If Snewtie "wins Saturday" will it be an unreliable GOP phony like Iowa turned out?

[sfpcjock]

The Iowa GOP said it lost ballots in 8 precincts and leaves the impression that "well, maybe Mitt could have won it for that reason" even tho they claim--way too late to matter--that Sanitarium won. What do you think?

What does this mean for the General election if they can't even count Iowa?

1. Doesn't mean a whole lot

The republican caucuses took place OUTSIDE of the General Election Ballot System.

That does not mean they shouldn't be watched like hawks for hinky shit.

3. Phew! That was close ;)

2. I said that this would change the narrative

If some sort of recount came out that showed Santorum a few votes ahead, this "historic" non-incumbent win of both Iowa and New Hampshire would erase quite a bit of that inevitable thing that Romney's people have been spewing. It's true, the wind is going out of Mitt's sails.

Of course, that Cayman Islands thing isn't helping him, and from what I saw of the debate (some during last hour) he was getting a bit rattled by John King. I'm going to predict a Gingrich-Romney virtual tie. That should knock Santorum out of the race (Paulbots are zombies, they will never die), and it will be one-on-one with Mittens and Newtie in Florida.
