Presidential Straw Poll results from Overton County GOP on 2-14-12:
Rick Santorum (52.6%); Newt Gingrich (23.7%); Mitt Romney (21.1%); and Ron Paul (2.6%).

Romney in 3rd place. Let's hope this is a microcosm of the rest of the state!

Tennessee started early voting today. How do ya'll think early voting affects the upcoming primaries in OH and TN? I think early voting was key to Romney's win in FL. Just think, votes were cast when Romney was still declared the winner of IA and just behind in SC but hadn't lost. The inevitability argument was still being drummed by the "historic" wins in IA and NH. Had IA declared Santorum the winner a week earlier, would FL have been different? I think it would.

Hi Y'all. I am a Tn voter and I plan to vote early along with hubby. I wish Huck was a runnin' but at least I have some good Catholic choices to vote for. I have not a clue how Davidson county will vote for most of the people are pro obama. Still I hope for the best for Santoreum. He is first in my book then gingrich. Go Rick Go.

Welcome back, c murphy! Please keep us posted on TN election news! Huck's Army News Network (HANN) has the best boots on the ground reporting anywhere!

Tn seems muted on the selection of choice. But people have been voting here early. I did today. They (the liberal newspaper here) suspect that Obama will win and maybe Romney. The other candidates do not receive good press.

I have been reading that Newt has pulled ahead but they didnt list which poll. I havent found any polls showing this. Are there any current ones that I am missing?

It would not surprise me if Newt has made some gains in Tennessee since the debate.

We'll have to watch Super Tuesday, but if Santorum holds the states he is suppose to win and somehow holds on to Ohio, and at the same time Newt gets wins in Tennessee and Georgia then this race gets even more interesting. That would set Newt up really well for Alabama and Mississippi.

There was a poll posted today from Vanderbilt University that has Santorum 33 Romney 16 Paul 13 Gingrich 10.

Iowans Rock,

Thanks for the info.

I voted early on Memphis on Sat. Rick did not have any pledged slate of delegates on the ballot. I voted for Santorum on the preference, But on delegates, I voted for all of Newt's (10) and 4 from Perry to get the 14 I was alloted. (I tried to pick the ones least likely to vote for Romney.)

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be voting in the Memphis area on Tues.

I have the same issue in IL. I can vote for Santorum for the general, but our district has no santorum delegates to vote for...it is strange to me! I could be wrong, but I thought IL was winner take all, so wouldnt my district need Santorum delegates were he to win IL?

Can hardly wait 6 days for ST! Gunna be interesting! If Santorum can win 5 of 10 with Newt taking GA and Romney grabbing 4, Santorum could dsefinitely stay in the fight.

So you vote for who your preference is and then you vote on who gets the delegates in TN?

Will it kind of be like MI then in which the winner may not reflect who does the best in delegates?

Tn has an OPEN primary. Delegates awarded proportionally unless a win by more than 50% then winner take all. Don't think delegates on the ballot for election day are mandatory. They can be chosen later.
This video gives an explanation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx7_73D9rbw&feature=player_embedded

"We have an opportunity in this election." he said to cheers, "the greatest gift to the conservative movement is sitting in the White House right now."

Gingrich 29
Romney 30
Santorum 29
Paul 12
quote:We picked up a thread of discussion by Santorum lamenting the continued presence of Newt Gingrich in the race?understandable if you buy into his logic that he would auto-import many of Gingrich?s diehards should the former Speaker drop out. But Gingrich is hanging in there (watch him in Oklahoma, too), and will undoubtedly be a factor on Super Tuesday.
Any of the top three GOP candidates can win in Tennessee. But if last night?s poll is accurate (or even close), Romney will have pulled off an impressive come-from-behind surge in the Volunteer State.
