Boring, any info on the turn out?

Pinellas County counts their votes fast they are already 97% in!

Romney is winning the females vote with 51%, not bad with a multi-candidate race

[The_Texas_Libertarian]

I guess Politico was right about there being relatively little difference between income levels.

(Although clearly the proverbial 1%ers love the Mittster extra-much).

Of course I was right. There is no class divide, or any such rubbish.

This proves to you that no matter what your income is, people want to get rid of the class divide that's happening currently in the US with the this administration.

>60% of the $200K for Romney but he couldn't even break 50% in any category below that?

41%, 40% or 60%, there's not much difference in income percentages. My point is, the current president is a class divider.

Hah!  If you say so.  The Romney rich entitlement syndrome to pay 14% or less on taxes while people who do work pay much higher has been exposed.  There is a class divider, and he is on a roll to win the GOP nomination

If all that is true, than why is Romney doing 20 points better among people who make 200K+ than he is among people who make 30K or less?

One, you need to control for geographical location. Two, there is no way to verify the people who say they earn over 200K per year actually earn over 200K per year.

The point is this, though: Romney is winning all groups except evangelical Christians, which he lost by three points, and certain rural counties, specifically in the panhandle.

Then what's the point of exit polls?  There is clearly a division in the GOP primary base according to income.  <$30K had about 60% vote for non-Romney, >$200K had about 60% vote for Romney

Romney is even winning Duval County.  I wonder what kind of speech Gingrich will deliver tonight

Some characteristics you can easily verify: gender, race, etc.

Generally, people do not lie about their income, but it is the one characteristic people are most likely to lie about.

This is some type of Walter Mondale-esque fantasy. ROMNEY WON EVERY INCOME GROUP. What more do you need to see? 100% across the board support for Romney? You'll get that among Republicans in November.

Where in God's name do you get these absurd class notions from, anyway? Our European cousins? You would think John Edwards, not Barack Obama, became president.

Fantasy?  What are you talking about?  The numbers are right in front of you.  Can you read?  The arithmetic is very simple.  41% for Romney means 59% for non-Romney.  What are you going on about "class notions" for anyway?  I am simply repeating the data

Romney is even winning Duval County.

How's that surprising? He did in 2008.

I thought Gingrich was going to perform better there

[The_Texas_Libertarian]

This isn't saying much, but (though hackish), this is - by far - Romney's best speech yet.

Yeah, he is really adding some flourish to the standard GOP talking points

Hey, I said it wasn't saying much. The highest praise that I'd have for this is "not robotic."

There should be two separate electoral vote maps for guesstimates and predictions

Robotic Mitt Romney vs. Barack Obama
Humanoid Mitt Romney vs. Barack Obama

I forgot about Rick Santorum until I saw there was a live stream from his campaign headquarters.  I have a feeling he may suspend his campaign tonight, has anything been said recently this?

[The_Texas_Libertarian]

So Gingrich is saying there will be lower gasoline prices?  Interesting....

Gingrich flanked by wife, Callista, and daughter, Jackie, both born in 1966.
