Santorum is not a great choice against 0.

This seems to support the idea of a brokered convention.

I’m a Newt guy, but congrats to Rick. A well deserved drubbing for Mittens, and I’ll take that to the bank.

Inevitable my ass!

good stuff

Watching Fox News until they called it in CO, I was reminded of how fun close elections are and why I love politics so much.

I still gotta believe that being the religious candidate at the time that the Marxist-Alinsky radicals (spoiled brats actually) opened fire on Christians helped attract a lot of votes for Santorum -- and those attacks on Christians are going get a lot of people out to vote in November.

If Romney can't win Colorado with it's significant Mormon population, then he ain't gonna win in the Bible Belt or the corn belt.

This is just great news.

The revenge of fly-over country! So there!

I was part of the MN caucuses. There was a large Catholic vote tonight. Surprisingly we had nearly a 20% higher turnout than in 2008! I think if was because of the the sum total of issues plus the interest locally in the Obamacare mandate. People are really venting their anger here. Santorum did not even have to bring the subject up, but I think it had some influence on the vote in MN.

If Romney has lost 22% in CO since the last primary in that state, in no way is he inevitable. CO is a state that you would think would go in his column fairly handily, but not this time.

The victory here is against the establishment narrative of Romney inevitability.

Santorum has an impressive showing in caucus states but can't get voters to show up at the polls.

It's good the press picked up Romney is UNDERPERFORMING vs. 2008.

They missed that in the Nevada result where, yes he won again but he was 50% vs 51%, 1 point below his 2008 performance.

Rick Santorum 2012

Acts 5:39:

But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it; lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God.

I just saw they called CO for Santorum. 40-35. Congratulations on a clean sweep defeating Mitt.
My feeling is the two candidates who have little or no chance if beating Barry in the Fall are Romney and Ron Paul.

I am absolutely thrilled! Let’s congratulate Rick with a little campaign cash. Donate what you would have spent on coffee or junk food or something tomorrow / today.

Newt needs to drop out and endorse. Shoot for the VP slot.
