It's just the hardcore zealots that make the other (moderate) Christians look bad, pay them no heed.

How can hard-core zealots vote for someone who has committed adultery multiple times. I'm honestly at a loss here. Or is it more that Romney's a Mormon?

It's exactly that. (the mormon part)

Personally I don't get it. Both groups believe in Jesus, god, the bible, etc. They both are anti-gay marriage, anti abortion, family values, etc.

The only real difference I can think of is that some Mormons believe in having multiple wives...but for all his faults I haven't seen Romney do that. (which is really ironic because thats basically what Gingrich is being accused of)

Only the hard-core zealot Mormons have multiple wives as far as I know. Romney is not a member of that particular sect so it must be just the Mormon part.

In order to win the Republican nomination, a candidate has to acquire at least 1144 delegates. For some perspective, the 3 states that have held their primaries thus far have had a total of 58. There is still a long way to go, and you shouldn't count Ron Paul out just yet.

The two states with the highest number of delegates are Texas and California (~330ish delegates combined). Ron Paul is polling over 50% in each of those states, and if he can maintain those numbers, he's guaranteed about 250 delegates from that alone.

Also, Ron Paul is currently the only person with a campaign organization in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has a significant number of delegates and it's a winner takes all state, as well.

The thing about Paul's campaign right now is this: He's playing it very strategically. We'll see if it pays off or not.

Mitt Romney at 24% and Newt Gingrich at 23% lead the way with Rick Santorum at 15%, Ron Paul at 12%, and Buddy Roemer at 0% rounding out the field behind Perry.

Mitt Romney 27%
Undecided 22%
Herman Cain 20%
Newt Gingrich 14%
Ron Paul 6%
None of the above 3%
Rick Perry 3%
Michele Bachmann 2%
Jon Huntsman 1%
Rick Santorum 1%

Most recent poll out of Texas.

Most recent poll out of California. His numbers don't even add up to 50%. (Straw polls aren't counted because they are laughably inaccurate).

I like Ron Paul and a lot of his policies, but many of his supporters are crazy to the point of being outright delusional. Ron Paul isn't going to get the nomination, and that's not his goal anyway. As I have said before, Paul's goal is to build up a libertarian movement within the republican party, which is exactly what he is accomplishing. He's like going to get to speak at the republican national convention because of this success. That's a win for Paul.

Mitt Romney 27%
Undecided 22%
Herman Cain 20%
Newt Gingrich 14%
Ron Paul 6%

Do you need an absolute majority of delegates to be elected (as presidential candidate), or is a relative majority enough?

To keep it relevant too so I don't get banned, here are some politically relevant bullshit quotes from her:

Correct me if I am wrong but, isn't Gingrich the text-book definition of scumbag? how can anyone get away with being two-time adulterer, not only that but he left both wives when they were sick, and still be in contention for the presidency -- a job that requires character more than anything -- you GOPers are nuts, but I guess Romney's tax problem may be more serious than I previously thought.
