Open for discussion.

Ron Paul has created the first political movement that’s a natural home for the functionally mentally ill.

Oh come on now. He didn't create it, he just refined what Ralph Nader and Dennis Kucinich started.

[Anti-Hillary]

That first sentence is hilarious!

Romney’s run is ending here tonight. He might take Colorado, but between Newt and Santorum, that butt is getting spanked tonight. Yes, sir.

[luvie]

I am...and looks like Santorum is doing well on the ones that have reported so far. In fact, he’s beating Zero in the Missouri totals. :)

So far.......

[parksstp]

Keeping an eye on the “uncommitted” vote in MO.

[GeronL]

bump

[writer33]

Yep. Did you see that uncommitted vote for the Dems - 13% didn’t vote for one Dem on the ballot. That’s bad news for Barack.

[ez]

I’ve been toying with the idea of Newt dropping out and supporting Santorum. I think he might consider it because he is so pissed at Mitt. He should hold out for a very high job in the Santorum administration...just not VP. Any other job of his choice.

[BigEdLB]

If people arriving at the CO caucus know of a huge Santorum lead in the other two places, will that have an effect on them?

[parksstp]

I mean if the vote ends up close between Romney and Santorum in MO, or Santorum loses, I will be looking squarely at “uncommitted”, because I think we will know what has happened.

[CatDancer]

There are two threads....Actually not a bad idea.

Yeah, it wasn't. But the other one got locked. Two threads are too many for the primaries in three states, I guess.

I can always turn on the TV. Thanks.

[writer33]

That’s a good point. Let’s hope it doesn’t end up that close.

[luvie]

That is a GREAT map! Thanks for posting it!

Go Santorum!!!

Santorum leading Romney in Missoura

[parksstp]

Doesn’t really matter because in the end their delegates will eventually merge at the convention one way or another.

One thing that concerns me is Ron Paul. He’ll have at least 100 delegates by convention time, which is about the number Romney or the Anti-Romney may need to get over the top. I do not put it past Romney to make a deal by adding Rand to the ticket or making some other concession to Paul which results in Paul giving a speech telling his supporters where to go.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Santorum kicking butt in Minnesota. Romney going down to crashing defeat (so-far). LOL. Minimal results so far, though. ;-)

[luvie]

I think Santorum is the adult in the room of spoiled brats at this point...AND is the most conservative, socially if not fiscally.

I just pray that if he or Newt wins the nomination they can KO the nut in our white house! :)

[writer33]

Romney is going down.

[ez]

How can it not? Hoping for huge Santorum win tonight if Newt can’t get it. Let’s at least bring the brokered convention into play.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Santorum (Conservative), THROTTLING Romney (RINO). Love it. When do the networks start calling the races??
