2. If Ras says this, add 2% to the good.

I probably need to vote for Mr. Gingrich in the Georgia primary. But I don't know if I can bring myself to actually do it.

3. I'm voting for him in the TN primary...

don't let it get to you.... you'll be doing your part to ensure the GOP is a regional party, and no longer a national one.

6. You know, it might be our only chance to have any influence at all.

With Gingrich as the nominee, we might have an outside shot at Tennessee, but Georgia is probably a lost cause for another generation.

4. Rasmussen is not honest

Is it possible that Rasmussen released this poll to bolster Romney against Gingrich?
