At some point it may just be that even the Rinos understand that the people in flyover country will not vote for Mittens, and the people on the coasts will tend to vote for Obamalini anyway.

That’s reality.

Headlines before tonight said if he didn’t win, it’d be over. He wins and it means nothing.

The press should make this clear BEFORE the results come it.

I bet The Hill would not have found the victory to be hollow if it were Mitt's.

But the author is biased and part of the establishment. They are all pushing Santorum away, thinking he actually said he prefers Obama to Romney. Santorum would rise to the occasion as our nominee and as our president. Let there please be a chance to stop Romney.

The GOP better wise up or the can just by pass the next election. Mitt Romney is not going to be the President no matter how many “delegates” he gets. If the GOP runs another RINO against Obama they are going to get the same results as last time.

Great read, true. So many injustices in this primary. The media has beat stories over people's heads who can win/who cannot. I read on Palin’s face book that she was so concerned of how the media has totally made Newt into not being capable of winning, that she made phone calls for Newt in Louisiana to help with the confusion. The voter turnout in itself is a dangerous wake up call. They can gloat but it was such a low voter interest vote. He got the church vote and the I can't stand Romney vote because people are buying into the Newt cannot win lie. Newt said yesterday whatever happens, he is not getting out so he can protest at convention. He cannot get out-Rick will not win women voters-Romney will not win conservative voters-it is a blessing that Newt is the one who is giving a chance for a person to be considered.

Tyler Harbor can blow it out his as*, then.

It was a Santorum LANDSLIDE in Louisiana, no two ways around it.

What would be the spin if this were reversed and it was Mitt Romney seizing 50% of the vote there in a four way race?

Reality check is that RINOs can be expected to say exactly what RINOs will say, furthering the Establishment "inevitable" narrative, to which The Base and, and stil says: "NO! HOGWASH!".

They got it handed to them tonight, no other way around it. Now on to the next states and rallying the economic/social conservative Base to turn out there, too. The GOP primary voter turnout is so low here and there nowadays and Bishop Romney engenders so many doubts in peoples' minds still, I do believe the Santorum and the Conservatives can win the next few states coming up or do well in them, and make life miserable for Obama Light and the RINOs.

Quoted at beginning of article: Beltway D.C. sycophantic Establish Republican RINO insider consultant in the tank for Ronney. Does not surprise me these toadies come out of the woodwork to contribute to the Willard Inevitability Narrative (WIN) being foisted on the Base--on a night the media said incessantly "Santorum had to win". He does, so they devalue it. But them slick D.C. boys got another think comin! We could run Sun-Tzu circles around this dude and be home for supper time.

Light weights.

When Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said, “Everything changes [after the primary]. It’s almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again,” the wind let out of the Romney sails. Romney had better start watching his money or he will be a dollar short if he comes up against Zer0.

"When I was speaker, we balanced the budget for four years, and when Santorum was in the leadership, they borrowed $1.7 trillion,” Gingrich said. “There’s a big difference between fiscal conservatism and politics as usual.”

Proof the American people have lost the ability to reason.

They choose the Whining Novice over a Statesman.

Apparently winning blue states that Romney will NEVER win in the General is more important. The GOP is as stupid as the Democrats. I can’t believe how idiotic this primary is. I am not saying that I think Santorum should win it because Newt would be fine too, but since when is winning Illinois more important to Republicans than Louisiana. Dumb GOP! That is a very accurate statement IMHO.

So what's the point of the author writing this, and your posting it? Is it that I, and every other person who voted in Louisiana yesterday are irrelevant? That our votes count for nothing and should just be ignored? Perhaps we should just not show up and vote in the general election this fall since our opinions are worthless?

Just down the road from me in St. Martinville, is the gravestone of one Jefferson Deblanc, a Cajun USMC fighter pilot from WWII who is also a winner of the MOH. He, and countless others put everything on the line for my right to vote and to ensure my vote counted for something. Those who would argue otherwise aren't fit to shine the man's shoes.

Before you post such ignorant drivel you may want to read his MOH citation. People like Colonel Deblanc, that is to say, the people who have made America great, don't look at the numbers or the odds and give up. In fact, they openly defy them and make a difference in doing so. The same kind of apathetic, whiners now telling Rick he has no chance would have looked at then 1LT Deblanc back in the early days of the Pacific War, flying his battered Hellcat against a swarm of Zeroes and Oscars and told him he didn't have chance, either.

You may not be familiar with the concept, but free people can be full of surprises.

The nominating proces is broken and it must be changed so states that voted for the GOP candidate in the last election have greater significance the next time around.

Romney is leading the delegate count BUT the only states that he has won that backed John McCain in 2008 are...

...Alaska, Idaho, Arizona and Wyoming.

OTOH, Rick Santorum & Newt Gingrich have 9 wins in states that voted with McCain in 2008.

In the last two week, Romney has increased his lead in delegates with wins in Illinois, Virgin islands,Guam & Puerto Rico. Despite Rick Santorum winning Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana!

Think about this for a minute. Does anybody really think that the GOP candidate will win Illinois in 2012???

I am hoping for a brokered convention because I will not vote for Mitt. And I haven’t missed an election in over 20 years!
