It'll be SHOCKING if Romney somehow wins, what with him and Paul polling at nearly the same percentages.  ::)

I think "they" are writing the narrative now.....that Romney is coming on strong. I still think he's second but by a girl hair.

The poll, which had Paul slipping to three 3 behind Romney, only tested registered Republicans – even though Democrats and independents can change their registration to vote in the caucuses.

They are worried about hacking? What hacking? There is nothing to hack so why would they move it?

Finishing second would actually be very good for him given how little time he invested and how conservate the state is.

3 points is also the margin of error for the poll so more than likely they are dead even or Paul could be slightly ahead.

Can someone explain how anyone could do any  hacking  when it's all done on paper?

I'm guessing they mean when results are called in or while they're being posted online as they're called in.

This doesn't pass the sniff test.  RP will have people at the "undisclosed location", but I sure hope they're very experienced with caucus politics...cause this stinks.

Romney has always been the default candidate anyway.  He really didn't have to spend any money to remain at the top.

Ron is only polling high because the little tea baggers shot their wads early on with jumping on the Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Trump, and Newt bandwagon.

I don't want to jump the gun but the excuses they're using just don't add up.
