[vechorik]

Yeah team -- we held it! Wonderful news!

[TwoJ]

Huh? It's at 11% reporting

[Libertea Party]

Media heartbreak.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Brett Baier on Fox said they are "projecting" that Ron Paul is 2nd. That's a pretty definite statement IMO.

P.S. I'm not taking anything as over until it's over.

[Badger Paul]

Exit polling. Eight percentage points is a lot of ground for Hunstman to make up if Paul's results hold steady and they don't think Huntsman will make it up.

[Jtorsella]

We have beaten the media. They will never recover.

American Public: "Who's this Ron Paul guy and what's he really about?"

I take it as arrogant. They're projecting on past experiences, not with the credible numbers.

[Todd]

they called Clinton the "comeback kid" when he took 2nd in NH.

We need to spin that.

It only says 11% are reporting, why NY times, etc, saying Romney wins primary and Paul 2nd?

Couldn't a lot happen in 89%?

[axlr]

YES! On to SC!

[Tyler_Durden]

Huntsman war room looks somber on CNN!!!

[ssjevot]

Statistics is what allows them to call it. They have a sample from the population and they can use other predictor variables from past data to increase their accuracy. Really though 14% is easily enough data to call a race when they're separated by this large a percentage.

Huntsman is strong in rural counties but dont have have the votes.

Huntsman out tomorrow. Perry out. Gingrich will go too saying foul. Negative ads. And his maneguin wife gone too. Thank god.

No. It is incredibly improbable that 1st or 2nd will change with 11% reporting.

[Harbinger631]

Wrong, Lawrence O'Donnell just said that the real second place finisher is Jon Huntsman since Ron Paul is a non-factor.

You don't think Gingrich will hold on till SC? I thought he was strong there.

[RM918]

We're still only at 19% reporting, I'm not calling on anything.
