Actually, this is something that happened MONTHS ago, not in the last few days. The news media is only reporting on it now because Ohio votes on Tuesday and Santorum went from nowhere to leading in the polls.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/03/rick-santorums-ohio-delegate-problems-pile-up/

From the article “According to the Ohio GOP, the Santorum campaign is missing the names of one delegate in the state’s third district, two in the fourth, one delegate in the eighth, two delegates in the tenth, one delegate in the twelfth and two delegates in the sixteenth. Santorum’s opponents — Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich — each filed full slates in all of Ohio’s districts as did two candidates who are no longer in the race, Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman.”

So everyone but Rick was able to field a full slate of delegates in Ohio.

It is the lack of organization and money on Rick’s part that is causing him all of this heartache here at crunch time. That goes for Newt in VA, as well. And I do chalk that up to the establishment stacking the deck (”rules”) in favor of the “anointed one” with all the money. But this was done a LONG TIME AGO, not the last few weeks. Which means that it was not done TO Santorum, it was done to anyone that wasn’t the Establishment’s pick.

The only person that threatens Romney in Ohio is Santorum. The others are not a threat at all and gain very little. Duhhhh? LOL
