MITT 46% NEWT 32% RICK 13% RON 7%...

That ain’t no landslide!

Before I saw the numbers they made it sound like 86% for Mitt.

46% is nothing when you consider early voters and money spent and lying media.

we could still get Anyone But Romney.

In a brokered convention that's exactly what we would get...generic ABR--some compromise acceptible to all the scum we've been fighting against for months now.

Don’t count out Nevada, yet, please. We are not all mormons. We know just how racists the mormons are, we hear the N-word come out of their sanctimonious mouths without the slightest sense of shame, and we know the democrats are going to kill us with this institutionalized racism if we let romney be the nominee. It is sad that no one in the GOP is willing to be frank about mormon bigotry and racism. Do you know the mormon bishops believe they have authority over every single person living in their stakes? We (my family) live a few blocks away from one of their so-called chuches and I darn well don’t want some busy-body mormon bishop thinking he has the authority to be sticking his nose into our affairs because we are conveniently close. So my family and I will definitely be at our caucus on Saturday. In the very mormon parts of our state, non-mormons really have few civil rights. Need to go to small claims court against a mormon in a mormon county, lots of luck to you, you are going to need it! Frankly, while it may not be about mormonism in other parts of the country, here where we know what we could all be facing, it is definitely part of the equation!

Three other things:

George Soros likes Romney!!!!

George Soros says Romney is almost the same as obama.

obama is the WORST President in American history!!!! So if Romney is "almost the same as obama", that doesn't speak very well of him, does it?

Brokered convention is our only hope to avoid Candidate Mittens which means it is also our only hope to avoid Obambi's second term.

It probably is a long shot to happen, and even if it does it likely means a "compromise candidate" would emerge. Mitch Daniels would be my bet.

Not a good night for conservatives tonight I am afraid.

Does this sound dumb? I believe we should all go to the Convention, Thousands of us, We should let the RINO’s know who own the party by being there. If the Occupy people get in our way step on them.

It’s tim we real Conservative Republicans took back our party.

I think our best chance is for all candidates to stay in through the convention

Then we can stampede in the convention, trample the Yacht Club snobs, toss the MSM Liars out on their ass, and draft Sarah.

'Twould be glorious -- a veritable Tea Party in a Beacon Hill double-parlor!

Sean is such an idiot. He doesn’t even know what a NBC is.

Hell, I'm not an NBC, either. My mother was still an alien national when I was born. And when my little sister was born, our mother had taken papers and been naturalized -- but sister was born on Canadian soil, so she was dual-citizenship until she turned 18 and began voting here in the States. But she's not NBC, either, as a result.

Both of us are patriots, but the facts are the facts. Neither of us is a "natural born citizen".

Neither are Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal. The 64 billion dollar question is, is Barky? I'm leaning, no. I think he was a dual for a long time -- or maybe didn't renaturalize as U.S. citizen when he returned from years in Jakarta as an Indonesian citizen under their law.

Mittens couldn’t get to 50% even after blowing $17MILLION in one freaking State! IN A FLIPPING PRIMARY! Where he was already up by 20-points back in November. If I were Mittens, I would definitely NOT be celebrating!

Krauthammer praised Newt’s concession speech tonight and said repeatedly it was the best one of the night. I was out and haven’t seen it yet but the thing must have been absolutely amazing for Krauthammer to have been willing to admit it was the best of the night.

I hope that you all know that Mitt Romney used to BE a Mormon “bishop”, and even worse—a Mormon stake president!!!!

Way back when I was growing up in Arizona, there were all those rumors about a “Mormon mafia” that backed Mormon businesses so that non-Mormons wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Was the “Latin American money” that started Bain Capital actually Mexican Mormon money? I don’t know, but it’s worth checking out.

I wish that the Mormons would stop telling lies about the Church being “lost”. If the rank-and-file Mormons knew even one iota about the Orthodox Church, they would shut up with that garbage.

http://orthodoxwiki.org/Mormonism

Better yet, they might BECOME Orthodox in large numbers, thus solving your problems—and theirs!!!!

Since it’s so very easy to find out about Orthodox Christian history etc., I imagine that the Mormon higher-ups know all about it, how it falsifies nearly everything about Mormonism, and are concealing it from their “flock”. And the rank and file are kept so very busy with all the work it takes to be a Mormon (besides career and family life) that they don’t have time to learn either.

Rick is delusional.

Rick is splitting off part of the conservative vote as he auditions for Romney's VP slot.

Interesting. But I am so beyond conspiracy theories about Mormons! You don’t have to believe in Mormon conspiracies to know that he’s an absolutely HORRID candidate who cannot win against even the disaster known as 0BowMao!

My mother-in-law always joked about the local liquor store owner made more money selling to mormons out the back door, than he made through the font door.

well... even Reagan lost in 1976 to a moderate insider (Ford) but came back and swept it in 1980.

But, this time, we don't have four more years to spare.
