The real story was the magnitude of what happened in this extraordinary vote. Not only did Rick Santorum win both the Missouri and the Minnesota showdowns, (and possibly Colorado) but he did so decisively. Tuesday night the inevitability balloon of a Romney candidacy exploded. Rick Santorum has just pulled of an historic political upset and the Republican primary race has been completely reset.

I think people are sick of Romney’s nasty side.

Maybe people can see now why Palin refused to make a hard endorsement, but I doubt it.

Michelle danced around every attempt Greta made to put her on the spot and make an endorsement or even where she leans. Many here will say she is running for Romney’s VP, but I am not that jaded.

Time will tell.

Santorum made an interesting point tonight...saying that the first 5 primaries were not representative of the rest because Romney and to a lesser extent Gingrich and Paul and the others have been spending big $ there for months and the outcome was more/less a foregone conclusion (i.e. Romney=NH). His win in Iowa being an exception, and now he says he’s back in the midwest, level playing field. Maybe so...

Useless contests for useless people. This guy is another degenerate pond scum lawyer who voted to force workers to belong to a union and pay dues against their will, and endorsed Romney in 2008. He remains in the race bankrolled by Romney supporters. In short, a stalking horse for the RNC and the country clubbers. And he comes from a family of bright red communists in Italy .

As absurd as it gets. Santorum is a communist, bankrolled by Romney, yadda, yadda, yadda. Yeah, Romney is helping Santorum so Santorum can get more delegates and keep him from reaching a majority and allow Santorum to tear him to shreds in a debate and damage him - brilliant strategy. Remind me of this post if in the future I make the mistake of taking anything you say seriously.

Before it was Cain, now it is Santorum. Same template, filled with different names.

And only the MO contest had no effect on delegates. The effect on delegates are already being estimated based on the results in CO and MN: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2012/minnesota-caucuses-feb-7 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2012/colorado-caucuses-feb-7

WOW! Read that twice to make sure he was saying what he was saying. Claims Santorum is a Commie Pinko on top of the recently discredited stalking horse charge. Unbelievable.

Nasty Romney - the ineligible, backstabbing RINO:
"Me. Me. Me.
I am entitled. Me. Me.
I choose. I chose. I decide. Me. Me. Me.
BAIN, Marriott, and I already destroyed every single
other potential conservative candidate, and
BAIN and I already PAID everyone in the media
FOR MY nomination.
So, it is MINE. MINE. MINE.
Bow to me. Now. Bow. "
