Rick Santorum won the Colorado GOP presidential preference straw poll, according to the Colorado Republican Party.
The victory means a trifecta tonight for the former Pennsylvania senator, who also won in Minnesota and Missouri.
It is a significant defeat for front-runner Mitt Romney, who took 60% of the vote in the Colorado’s 2008 nominating contest. John McCain, the eventual nominee, won just 18%.

Romney slipped on his own dyed greasy hair! GO NEWT!
CATHOLIC SPRING!
FOX"News"' Prime Romney-Pimp:
"We at FOX have already decided the winner of
the Colorado GOP presidential preference straw poll.
Yes, indeedy.
That makes Mitt Romney the "frontrunner" here at FOX/BAIN News
… even when you laugh knowing
it is obviously not true."
This is excellent news. Romney had put money and organizational muscle into the Colorado caucuses and still lost. Clearly most Republicans regard him as a dud.
Just in case there’s still any confusion about who his legit challenger is: total votes cast so far:
ROMNEY 1,182,886
GINGRICH 838,102
SANTORUM 568,723
PAUL 335,951
Just saying.....
Now this dern thing wasn’t wrote in the script!
So Santorum is "illegitimate"? What law did he break?
I don’t think at this point that either Gingrich of Santorum can stop Romney single-handedly. But if Gingrich picks up enough Southern delegates and Santorum picks up enough Midwestern delegates, they can deny Romney a majority of the delegates at the convention.
GOP voters to GOP: “NOT ROMNEY”. Well said yesterday.
I want the experience that Newt brings to the table. Also, he’ll cream Obama in an “uncontrolled” debate.
Fair and balanced is Juan McCain
I’ve had enough of the ‘wisdom’ of Bill Cristal, Chas. Krauthammer, Ted Baxter, Bret Beahr, Toyko Rove, Ann Colter, Chris Wallace, Sean Wannabe, Dana Parino,
Brit Hume, Shep Smith, Judge Jeanene, Alam Clomes, Bob Beckle, Juan Williams, Whoraldo, et. al. all acting the part of the Romney cheerleading squad
There is clearly a hunger and a market for honest news and honest conservative news

Congrats Rick! One thing is for certain, Newt’s gone. It was nice to know you Newt. Loved your debate performance and intellect. It is unfortunate that you won’t be able to use it on Obama.
There is one chance for Newt, however. He could start running negative ads against Santorum. Those ads worked on Romney.
When and under what circumstances did Aldo Santorum naturalize?

Approx. the 10:00 mark.
Wait! Maybe it was the negative ads run by Newt against Romney that led to Newt’s devastating losses to Santorum yesterday. Maybe Newt should promote his ideas instead of just tearing people down.

Wishful thinking. Newt has 9 political lives. He’ll come back, don’t you worry. Any and all of this could very well be playing right into his strategy. Do NOT underestimate him.
Go Newt!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven’t you seen the terrible negative ads Santorum has been running against Newt? I saw them on Fox, who was all too happy to play them in their pig-pile on Newt after Florida.
Santorum had a wonderful night last night. But please don’t make him out to be the all-positive saint in the race. He’s a politician like the rest of them.
LOL!!!
