Why do you call him Saint Rick?

The Associated Press delegate count, widely cited in media stories, shows Romney with 568 delegates to Santorum's 273, with Newt Gingrich at 135 and Ron Paul at 50.

Even as anti-MSM as I am, I would have never thought to check this. Of course this is something they would happily lie about.

The RINO party mafia bosses are getting nervous. Look for more and more high profile endorsements to come soon. Do not submit!!!

He’s right. And this is precisely how Ron Paul is beating him under the radar. The AP counts are ridiculous and meaningless. They count delegates long before they’re ever awarded. They either don’t understand the system, or want to manipulate the majority of their readers who don’t.

Any ticket with Romney on it will lose, guaranteed...

...hate to tell you people this, but any ticket that does not have Barack Obamas name on it is going to lose...if this current Zimmerman situation teaches us anything, it is that this country will sink to any craven depths in order not to upset minority applecarts...and this country will not, I guarantee, turn out the first black president short of his allotted term, no matter how inept he is...just the long and the short of it...

Romney-O’s... LOL! We need a little sense of humor at this point, and a LOT of prayer. Blessings...

What about a Rick Santorum/Alan Keyes ticket? Crazy thought, but just wonderin’... It would certainly clam up the liberal “racism” cry.

You are definitely right, but Santorum is beginning to sound like he is dreaming the impossible dream. If he gets the nomination he will get 35% of the vote, and we will all be bearing the unbearable sorrow of four more years in Obamaville.

Somebody started “Saint Rick” as a pejorative because of his faith, and I took it up as a compliment. He has made so many mistakes, nearly as many as Goldwater did in the 1964 general election. I will still vote for him in the TX primary on May 29 if he is on the ballot.

With the throwing out of Obamacare, there is bound to be some impact on Romney for implementing Romneycare. If Romney is the nominee the Dems will say maybe it’s unconstitutional too in order to beat him.

I don’t think I could ever support someone that did not run, at this point it is Santorum or bust. He won’t clinch before the convention so we’re going to have to fight this on the floor there.

I don’t care about the “coming out of the convention damaged” argument, because nothing can be more damaging than a convention that nominates Mittens.

You are right, Mom. Since Romney believes in mandates, it means that Romney thinks your state should be able to order you around even if your federal government can’t.

I don’t think any level of government should be able to tell me to go buy a bicycle or a lawnmower. They can make it against the law to not care for my lawn, and I’ll probably go buy a lawnmower, but I could go buy a pair of scissors if I wanted or pave the entire yard.

I think that this hurts Romney.

Oddly, I think repealing ObamaCare would actually help Obama. He won’t have to defend it.

He can spend our time talking about how he planned and executed the Osama bin Ladin raid.

“he has actually won more delegates than some media counts show. Those counts, Santorum says, are not taking into account Republican party rules, as well as the state-level meetings that actually determine how many delegates go to each candidate. “’

If I remember this correctly, (to corroborate the OP) I heard Rick Santorum say on Face the Nation that the RNC has a rule that all states that held their primaries BEFORE April 1 cannot be “Winner Take All” states, so it looks like Rick has many more delegates coming his way, including FL, of course.

BTW, Rick will be on Meet the Press on Sunday.
