Santorum Sweeps
Red State ^ | 02/08/12 | Leeon H. Wolf

Posted on 02/08/2012 6:53:34 AM PST by pgkdan

As of today, Rick Santorum officially has no more delegates than he had yesterday. That said, as CNN is just now this moment calling Colorado for Santorum in a stunning upset, his clean sweep of the states who voted/caucused today is a stunning rebuke to both Romney’s purported march through February and Newt Gingrich’s position as the favored not-Romney candidate.

Santorum’s performance was impressive in each state, vastly outperforming his position in the polls, which had him losing by 9 points in Colorado (he won by 5) and winning by only 9 in Minnesota (he won by 18). It is hard to tell who got clobbered worse – Romney, who fell all the way to third in Minnesota, or Gingrich, who finished well behind the flailing Romney in every state. Newt Gingrich didn’t even bother to give a speech tonight, which was probably a good idea if Romney’s shell-shocked and confused concession was any indication of what we could have expected. Although Santorum didn’t get any official delegates tonight, he certainly has bought himself one heck of a news cycle, and has in one day sucked the oxygen out of virtually every other campaign with the stunning results.

You can certainly vote for your punk, I’ll vote for the adult.

BTW...just so you know, Rush just called my 'punk' the last conservative standing. You should tune in.

Question:

Did Romney throw these three non-delegate races to keep both Newt and Santorum in the contest thus continuing to divide the conservative vote? It follows the pattern the establishment and RNC has followed since 1988 to get their lackeys the nomination.

I'll ignore your personal attack and just answer your question.

No, your mom wasn't a Natural Born Citizen. However she was a US citizen at birth, so if your father, who you didn't mention, was also a US Citizen at the time of your birth than yes, you are a Natural Born Citizen. So am I, and one of my three sons. I can explain how that came about if you're interested.

I do have a dog in this fight. My dog is the US Constitution.
