I guess RomneyCare and RomneyMarriage came in under Deval Patrick. BTW, as I understand it, Senator Santorum didn't gain ANY delegates in his three wins. Anyone know if that is correct?

How much earmarked federal money did you spend on the Big Dig, Mitt?

He has repeatedly tried to ignore his GOP opponents and focus instead on President Barack Obama,

Bull poop!

Aha. The McCain strategery. Attack “earmarks”. That’s bound to work.

My understanding is no formal commitment of delegates. It was just a momentum boost, but take what you can get. If this is the best Romney has, he doesn't have much. He better get someone to plant child porn on Rick's laptop, because this is a weak line.

Wall st journal delegate tracker.

They’re projecting delegates but considering the spread in Missouri I think its a pretty fair indicator of where the official count will go.

"Earmarks" are a legitimate budgetary tool that ensures funds are spent in accordance with the wishes of Congress and allows the public a clearer view of where dollars are spent. The better question becomes, is the earmark a necessary expenditure and consistent with the proper role of government? A completely different question. In and of themselves they are not bad.

Blasting "earmarks" is just shallow and reflective of the fact that Romney cannot run on his own merits.

scant evidence of fiscal restraint.

OK

From the Congressional Record:

Senator McCain on the GAO Report
On Sept. 19, 2000, Sen. McCain, speaking in opposition to the Conference Report on the 2001 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill advised the Senate of details from the GAO’s report. As recorded in the Congressional Record, Sen. McCain stated,

“The GAO now determines that $1.3 billion—and some of those I will read: $974,000 for the Utah State Olympic Public Safety Command; $5 million for the Utah Communications Agency Network; $3 million to Olympic Regional Development Authority, upgrades at Mt. Van Hoevenberg Sports Complex; $2.5 million, Salt Lake City Olympics bus facilities; $2.5 million, Salt Lake City Olympics regional park-and-ride lots; $500,000, Salt Lake City Olympics transit bus loan, and on and on; $925,000 to allow the Utah State Olympic Public Safety Command to continue to develop and support a public safety program for the 2002 Winter Olympics; $1 million for the 2002 Winter Olympics security training; $2.2 million for the Charleston Water Conservancy District, UT, to meet sewer infrastructure needs associated with the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. What the Olympic games supposedly hosted and funded by Salt Lake City, which began in corruption and bribery, has now turned into is an incredible pork-barrel project for Salt Lake City and its environs.” — Sen. John McCain in the United States Senate, Sept. 19, 2000 - [Page S8731-S8748 - Congressional Record.]

Santorum’s recent “win” were all caucus states. The delegates were not awarded then and are supposed to go to the actual nominee later during and after the convention. (My understanding, correct me if I am wrong)

Romney seems to be doing blanket attacks on both Newt and Santorum, since they have flip-flopped so much.

Classic case of projection.

Santorum & Gingrich need to start calling attention to Romney's scorched earth tactics and how they are damaging the GOPs chances against BO. Because its clear that defeating the farce in the WH is by far the main reason people are going to the polls this Nov.

They won't much like the fact that its Romney's personal ambition that is making Obama's re-election more likely.

I strongly dislike earmarks, but they make up a miniscule portion of the budget. Romney has bigger spending demons with Romneycare and his weak reaction to entitlement reform.

“He has repeatedly tried to ignore his GOP opponents and focus instead on President Barack Obama,”

There are two explanations for that comment:
1. An incredibly uninformed person.
2. A blatant lie.

Keep spending money Romney. You’re just turning people off and soon it will be a Gingrich vs. Santorum race.

Look for the blowup next debate.

See #17. Apparently, the total is not "official" until the convention.

Mittens dirty attack mode is played out. Voters are not buying this stuff anymore. The fact remains that he has yet to break 50% in any election this Primary. Milt is too stupid to know that is problem is not his opponents, but that he is phoney.

Correct. Press played it as a ‘beauty contest'. Also the lowest 3 state turnout for the caucus.

True. The delgate numbers are still the same as they were after Florida. Another example of the MSM and GOPEe being in the tank for Romney.

After NV
Delegate tally approximately
Romney 51 Newt 45
when FL vote divided per RNC rules!

Pass the word!

Romney is a punk. He should be running as a ‘rat.
