Santorum is not a great choice against 0.
This seems to support the idea of a brokered convention.

Time for the elites to tear down another one.

I’m a Newt guy, but congrats to Rick. A well deserved drubbing for Mittens, and I’ll take that to the bank.
Inevitable my ass!

good stuff
Watching Fox News until they called it in CO, I was reminded of how fun close elections are and why I love politics so much.

Rick S trounced Mitt R by 30 points in MO!!!!! Unprecedented.

I still gotta believe that being the religious candidate at the time that the Marxist-Alinsky radicals (spoiled brats actually) opened fire on Christians helped attract a lot of votes for Santorum -- and those attacks on Christians are going get a lot of people out to vote in November.

Go Rick Go! Clear "electable" alternative to Romney. Wins CO with 5% vote margin. If Romney can't win Colorado with it's significant Mormon population, then he ain't gonna win in the Bible Belt or the corn belt.
This is just great news.

The revenge of fly-over country! So there!
I was part of the MN caucuses. There was a large Catholic vote tonight. Surprisingly we had nearly a 20% higher turnout than in 2008! I think if was because of the the sum total of issues plus the interest locally in the Obamacare mandate. People are really venting their anger here. Santorum did not even have to bring the subject up, but I think it had some influence on the vote in MN.

Yes and the 9th Circus decision may have also scared people of a runaway judiciary, the radical gay agenda etc.

Santorum has not stunned me with his charisma, granted, but he’s a solid conservative, and is immune to Obama’s class warfare attack strategy (just mentally compare his vulnerability vs. Romney or even Newt...) Staunchly pro-life and family values will play big in flyover country where guys with a past like Newts are snickered about and guys like Romney are spotted as phonies a mile away.
I sure like what I’ve heard from Santorum lately. For sure he would be a contrast against Obama, not just “Obama-lite”.

If Romney has lost 22% in CO since the last primary in that state, in no way is he inevitable. CO is a state that you would think would go in his column fairly handily, but not this time.

Um...no he didn’t. Not even one...
To: jwalsh07
A conservative, yes. Santorum, no.
But hey, he had a good night
I’d rather a wild card come through at the convention.
