Hey, Drudge... We are still a representative republic! Since when is any national U.S. election ever determined by POPULAR VOTE???

It’s time for Romney to drop out. Put a fork in him.

I think the nomination may be Santorum’s to lose.

I was a Gingrich guy, but the momentum is clearly in Rick’s favor now.

I’m really proud of Santorum right now and think this could be a turning point in the road to the GOP nomination! I only wish we didn’t have to wait three more weeks for the next state primary races, which of course will give Romney plenty of time to re-establish himself by using his hefty war chest to saturate the airwaves with more negative ads. :-(

That’ll REALLY make their heads explode! After all, we’re supposed to be “dead”, right? ;-)

[Anti-Hillary]

Now THAT is a game-changing ad! That was POWERFUL! Most of the time I think the majority of the ads are “weak sauce”. That one would actually sway me.

[Anti-Hillary]

Awwwww!!! Poor little Annie Coultergeist. Her and her friend Matt Fudge might not their gay marriage Gov. in the WH. Then what will she and her GOProud friends do?...

[Repub4bush]

Well she must have awakened. She has 1 twitter message 30 min ago. the first in 9 hours. See if it makes sense to you

"Ron Paul said tonight that he defines coming in second as a "win." Sadly, that's also his foreign policy."

That is all she's got? LMAO

[thouworm]

Agree! I can’t bear to watch political TV anymore, so I have missed all of the campaign ads. I used to watch all the “news” programs, but no more-—only when necessary, like the debates and primaries.

I particularly liked the way this ad hit at the GOP elite. They’re shoving Romney down conservatives’ throats. With that ad and tonight’s caucuses, Santorum is shoving him back down their’s.

All I want is a conservative...

[MEG33]

Thank you. I am sick of it as well, and still see the snide remarks on FR about Rick and Newt even tonight.

This is the day the LORD has made, REJOICE and be GLAD IN IT. I am.

AMEN..Well said..

I don’t quite know either how there could be such a shift from Newt to Rick in so short a time. I think that what this proves is that Newt and Rick are appealing largely to the exact same audience. When one goes up, the other must come down. They never finish 1st and 2nd in line, but 1st/3rd or 1st/4th.

Why did Rick surge? Newt seems to have run into huge money troubles after blowing his wad in Florida. He didn’t seem to put in the campaign effort here and he had no debates to benefit from for free coverage. Rick seemed to put in a real effort campaigning in these states.

Although it’s been a while since the last debates, Newt arguably had his worst two debates in Florida, while Santorum landed at least a couple strong punches on both Newt and Mitt. Those performances may have been sinking into people’s minds.

Santorum did get some recent endorsements since Florida...Michelle Malkin, Sharon Angle, and I think there was another decent one.

Maybe the story of him going to be with his sick daughter humanized him in a way that hadn’t happened to any of the candidates so far.

And certainly the news cycle of the economy improving but with the huge controversy over Obamacare and the church taking center stage...well, you couldn’t find a better issue for Santorum to run on, combining both Obamacare which he hammered in the last debate with a social issue that would motivate his base of religious conservatives to get out and vote.

An excellent and well-thought out post. I might also add that perhaps voters have become tired and burned out with the nasty and visceral Romney/Gingrich war and have decided to take another look at Santorum who appears to carry far less baggage by comparison.

[Repub4bush]

I added it to out twitter acct! it has been retweeted 3 times in the last 15 min... :)

That's a great add dixiechick2000, thanks for posting!

Including the link again for others:

"Rebellion"

[Enterprise]

LOL - Trump endorses Mitt, Mitt promptly loses three primaries.

[oprahstheantichrist]

"(Here in El Paso County—Colo Spgs, we elect all delegates to the CD and State Assemblies direct from the precinct level because we get so very many delegates, 3rd largest GOP registration of all US counties...."

Then what's with the screen name?

[caww]

Tag=team. Newt set Mitt up jumped out of the ring and Rich hit him a good one right where it hurts ....three times...Left, right, left....., DING End of the round.

Yep....and way to go!!! As much as I dont' want Santorum to win I am loving Newt's plays.....

Some said if Newt was so great why didn't he rise faster in the beginning....well...the stage was pretty full and he let the small fry play for awhile....then he rose.

Now things will get really interesting!!!!!

Ok...I'll say it...Good for Santorum!!!!! and way to go!!!!

[caww]

There's a bunch of stuff they'll be swinging at Santorum with now....all kept on ice. He's going to have to do more than duck....we'll see how he handles but he's known for a quick fuse but doesn't bat hard enough for a home-run. He's going to have to push back or they will role him.

[caww]

MITT IS FINISHED. THERE ARE NO MORE STATES HE CAN HIDE BEHIND and get a free mormon ride. He is now in Cowboy country, and we know B.S. when we smell it.

Great post! Says it all!...What a great night it was tonight....Sweet!!!
