Not to rain on your parade, but if Newt had been on the ballot in MO, have you done the math? Using the past election totals in the other states - I have - as clearly as I could with what I considered reliable figures...
It would have been Newt 36 - Sanctimonium 19...
So include a little reality and context when you post about the results...
CO and MN - true Sanctimonium wins, and props on those! Anybody who beats Willard Your Worst Nightmare - in any way - gets applause from me...
But Newt wasn't, which makes your assertion moot. Can't win elections when you're not on the ballot.
