Santorum is a typical Republican.

He struggles to turn Victory into Defeat.

He doesn’t know when to shut up.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I’m thinking that any votes lost by Santorum won’t be going to Romney.

[MestaMachine]

These were the tactics used by specter in PA. We all know what that led to.

So taking the same number of delegates from Michigan as Romney is a loss?

Frankly I’m saddened by how willing some FReepers are to play the media game for them.

Rick Santorum put a lot of chips on Michigan, and he lost. Now the question is whether his chance to prove he is a viable alternative to Mitt Romney has slipped away for good.

I'm thinking the exact same sentence can be written for Gingrich: "Newt Gingrich put a lot of chips on Florida, and he lost. Now the question is whether his chance to prove he is a viable alternative to Mitt Romney has slipped away for good."

After all, since Gingrich lost Florida, he has lost 5 more races, and except for one where he came in 2nd, has been a complete non-factor.

But clearly the pro-Newt folks believe he can come back, and in fact are certain of it. Which means they should realize that the Santorum folks probably believe exactly the same thing. And the rest of us are just hoping ONE of the two can come back and win, and that they don't spend the rest of their time and money just attacking each other.

No this is just an example of how far we have fallen as a Nation. There is nothing wrong with Rick. It is the country that is the problem. Our people have bought the relative moral behavior from the left. There is nothing wrong with what Rick says. It is what you think you hear in your lost soul.

[cripplecreek]

His team’s decision to make robocalls to registered Democrats asking them to turn out for him on primary day was as divisive as it was ineffective. The tactic left an unpleasant taste in the mouths of many conservatives.

Romney robocalls were going to the exact same people. My liberal sister told Romney door knockers that she was a democrat and they said they didn't care as long as she was willing to help stop Santorum's extreme agenda.

In fact, why does no one notice that Romney won the most liberal areas of Michigan, and santorum won the rest.

[ScottinVA]

Reagan reached out to dems in 1980. Trying to figure why Santorum doing essentially the same thing is a foul.

[MulberryDraw]

the argument Romney made in his victory speech might carry the day. “We didn’t win by a lot, but we won by enough — and that’s all that counts,”

BS. It was a very weak victory and he split the delegates with Santorum.

[Fighter@heart]

Mich. Delegates= 30
Santorum won 17
Romney won 13

The way I see it Romney WON the popular vote, but what they are vying for is DELEGATES! Don’t be led by the media!

[Ronin]

The robocalls were beyond stupid.

Not only were they bad tactics, they totally blew away any claim he had to the moral high ground. And that, deserved or not, was practically the only real advantage he had over Romney.

It’s gone now.

I am in utter awe at how gracefully he blew his own foot right off at the ankle.

I’m starting to think we might indeed lose to Obama because I am still convinced that the Dems have all the ammo they need to take out both Mitt and Newt.

So hey RIck! Thank you very much for the double-face-palm, beat my-head-against-the-wall, screaming-to-scare-the-cat temper tantrum earlier today.

Clears the sinuses....

Santorum needs to point out Romney's similarities to that other "Republican" hoaxster, Mayor Bloomberg.

Bloomberg and Romney are both "hands-on" successful business men, who can't control their urges to micro-manage people's lives.

Bloomberg and Romney have expressed support for gun control laws.

Both men have meddled in our private health decisions.

Mayor Bloomberg banned smoking and didn't stop there. He went so far as to ban ashtrays.

Not sure how coming away with a minimum (possibly several more after all is said and done) equal number of delegates, and winning in every single county and precinct in which an actual Republican draws breath, from what amounts to the home state of his opponent qualifies as a genuine loss. I suppose Niall will call what looks to be an absolute trouncing of Gov. Romney next Tuesday in our little bellwether State of Ohio a "draw".

Organized Mormonism may have found its birthplace in the Buckeye State but this isn't Utah, Arizona, or Nevada, and unless I'm mistaken our total number of convention delegates will amount to more than what those three scenic wastelands will send combined. It's a marathon, Mitt, and to these eyes it looks like you're beginning to cramp up.

[AmericanInTokyo]

"lost" Michigan, my left foot. Rick spent a fraction of MITT ROMNEY, it was not on his home state court, was opposed by the Governor, most elected GOP officials (Establishment) and Michgan GOP party structure, just like Ronald Reagan 34 years ago, and Rick ended up tying Mitt Romney in the end, 15 delegates to 15 delegates.

This is pure, unadulterated, agenda-driven, narrative-steeped, anti-Santorum bullcrap, you can see right through it. How old is the "writer?　15? Cub reporter for a high school newspaper?
