As of today, Rick Santorum officially has no more delegates than he had yesterday. That said, as CNN is just now this moment calling Colorado for Santorum in a stunning upset, his clean sweep of the states who voted/caucused today is a stunning rebuke to both Romneys purported march through February and Newt Gingrichs position as the favored not-Romney candidate.
Santorums performance was impressive in each state, vastly outperforming his position in the polls, which had him losing by 9 points in Colorado (he won by 5) and winning by only 9 in Minnesota (he won by 18). It is hard to tell who got clobbered worse Romney, who fell all the way to third in Minnesota, or Gingrich, who finished well behind the flailing Romney in every state. Newt Gingrich didnt even bother to give a speech tonight, which was probably a good idea if Romneys shell-shocked and confused concession was any indication of what we could have expected. Although Santorum didnt get any official delegates tonight, he certainly has bought himself one heck of a news cycle, and has in one day sucked the oxygen out of virtually every other campaign with the stunning results.

BTW...just so you know, Rush just called my 'punk' the last conservative standing. You should tune in.
omg! are we on the same side now????
No thanks. I no longer listen to anything Rush has to say.
LOL... You’re whining, just like your candidate.
GO NEWT GO—its about the survival of our country!!
I don't blame you...conservatism probably irks you.
The remainder is my work.
LMAO... You made it a personal attack, so you lose. LOL@you.
Your sweater boy will never see the White House.
No...it just ,i.,b.seems,/i.,/b. like a personal attack anytime someone tells the truth about Leroy Newton.
GO NEWT GO—its about the survival of our country!!
Question:
Did Romney throw these three non-delegate races to keep both Newt and Santorum in the contest thus continuing to divide the conservative vote? It follows the pattern the establishment and RNC has followed since 1988 to get their lackeys the nomination.
No, your mom wasn't a Natural Born Citizen. However she was a US citizen at birth, so if your father, who you didn't mention, was also a US Citizen at the time of your birth than yes, you are a Natural Born Citizen. So am I, and one of my three sons. I can explain how that came about if you're interested.
I do have a dog in this fight. My dog is the US Constitution.
