President Barack Obama Won the Oklahoma Democratic Primary But The One Lost Lost in 15 Counties to Randall Terry

OBAMA NOT OK, IN OK … I guess we will not be seeing President Barack Obama any time soon campaigning in Oklahoma in the 2012 Presidential election.

Barack Obama won the Oklahoma Democrat primary with 57% of the vote, but that is not the big story. Obama actually lost 15 counties to anti-abortion activist and Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry who received 18,400 votes and 18 percent of the vote. Obama has faced no opposition during the Democrat primary, until OK. The poor showing in Oklahoma will actually cost Obama one delegate as a virtual unknown garnered double digit support in the primary.

According to Democratic Party rules, Terry is eligible for a delegate since he won more than 15 percent of the statewide vote. Terry beat Obama in 12 counties, mostly in western Oklahoma. Terry acknowledges he can’t win the presidency but says he hopes to cause Obama’s defeat in the fall.

Imagine what Obama’s opposition vote against him would have been like if an actual viable candidate ran against him in the Democrat primary?

UPDATE VI: Imagine this, to the total amazement to no one, except Barack Obama and the liberal MSM, the Super Tuesday exits polls show that the economy and gas prices were the top issues. How could that be? As stated by Jammie Wearing Fool, you mean the top issue was not contraception and Rush Limbaugh?

Gas prices and the economy were the top issues on the minds of voters on Super Tuesday, according to exit polls.

Seven in 10 voters in the seven Super Tuesday states that hold primaries said the price of gas was an important topic in deciding who to vote for in the GOP presidential primary, according to CBS News. Southern states seemed to care most about gas prices: in Georgia, 81 percent said it was the top issue in deciding, while in Oklahoma, 79 percent said it was the most important. In Tennessee, 77 percent it was important.

The Associated Press found that the economy was also a top issue influencing voters as they went to the polls.

UPDATE VII: Mitt Romney wins Ohio by about 12.000 votes.

Hours Before the 2012 Ohio Republican Primary Ohio GOP Primary: Santorum 32%, Romney 31%, Gingrich 13%, Paul 13%

Big momentum shift in Ohio ahead of Super Tuesday and today’s primaries … Let the voting begin.

GOP primary presidential hopeful Mitt Romney seems to have all the momentum on his side in Ohio just 24 hours before Super Tuesday and the Ohio primary. According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, Santorum leads in Ohio by one point of Romney, 32% to 31%, a virtual tie.

Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney are tied in Ohio with the Super Tuesday primary vote just 24 hours away. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary Voters in Ohio shows Santorum earning 32% support to Romney’s 31%. The survey was taken Sunday night. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Congressman Ron Paul run far behind, each with 13% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer another candidate, and six percent (6%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

However, according the the Real Clear Politics average of polling in Ohio … MITT ROMNEY IS NOW AHEAD BY 1.2%.

An Ohio victory by Mitt Romney could set him up for the dominoes in place for taking the GOP presidential nomination.

GOP Presidential Primary: Santorum Leads Romney 34% to 30% in Tennessee Ahead of Super Tuesday

Could Romney actually win in the South and the Volunteer state?

There is one day to go before Super Tuesday and the primary in Tennessee appears to be a two horse race and too close to call. According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, Rick Santorum leads Mitt Romney 34% to 30% with Gingrich and Paul a distant third and fourth. This is rather startling considering the overwhelming number of evangelicals in the Volunteer state.

Just two days before Super Tuesday, the Republican primary race in Tennessee has become a two-man competition between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. The first Rasmussen Reports survey of Likely GOP Primary Voters in Tennessee shows Santorum attracting 34% of the vote, while Romney earns 30%. Polls from other firms have previously shown Santorum with a large lead in the state.

If Romney wins Tennessee, it would be considered a huge upset and just further show the Romney momentum. What is also quite eye opening is that Newt Gingrich is not doing better considering his home state is border state Georgia.

GOP Presidential Primary: Reuters/Ipsos Poll Has Romney and Santorum Tied in Ohio

More good polling news for Mitt Romney … All of the momentum appears to be with Mitt Romney heading into Super Tuesday. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Sunday has Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney tied with 32% support from likely voters in the Ohio.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has surged into a dead heat with Rick Santorum in the Ohio primary, setting up a cliffhanger race on Tuesday, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Sunday.

The former Massachusetts governor and former senator from Pennsylvania are tied with 32 percent support from likely voters in the Ohio Republican primary, the most important of the 10 state nominating contests on “Super Tuesday” this week.

The all important Ohio contest will either be the tipping point for Romney in the GOP Presidential primaries if he is victorious, or if Santorum claims victory will be the equivalent of a political Ground Hog Day and six more weeks of primaries. However, all of the polls show that the momentum is with Romney as recent Marist/NBC News poll and Rasmussen poll both show significant gains for Romney.

All eyes will be on Ohio Tuesday evening.
