If Mitt Romney can't win in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado where can he?

[Tony_FLADEM]

These are moderate states. If he can't even win in these states, I wonder where (aside from Michigan) can you win to get the nomination. You have many contests left in Southern States and I bet Newt Gingrich does well in these states. This will probably go until June.

1. Romney got his ass handed to him in Missouri

55-25 with over 200K voters. That's crazy!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

22. where he believes the Garden of Eden is located

so that one has to hurt

[tulsakatz]

2. yes, it's looking like Romney may not be the inevitable nominee...

plus, speaking of moderates......moderate voters have been moving away from Romney recently!

Did you notice the map of states won? Santorum has won 3 states in the middle of the country one on top of another. Minnesota, Iowa & Missouri....I wonder if he will win Arkansas too? I don't know, I just thought it was interesting that won those states in a north - south line.....

I agree, I think Newt will win the south too......

13. Oh, this is bad

And by "bad" I mean very, very good!

[tulsakatz]

17. I know exactly what you mean!!

I hope this goes on so long that they'll all drag each other through the mud & not be left with enough time to repair the damage before November!!

15. Results in MO really don't matter.

It's basically an overproduced straw poll tonight. The Republicans will be deciding who gets the delegates on March 17th from Missouri in a very small caucus.

Besides, Santorum is the only one who even showed up in Missouri. And yes, the news statewide made a big deal out of it.

[tulsakatz]

18. yeah, I thought that was odd....

tonight they had a vote (at great taxpayer expense) but then they're also having a caucus in a few weeks too!!

[xmas74]

25. Yet people thought it was horrible

that I said my vote didn't matter yesterday and that I didn't even feel like voting.

I voted but I still feel like it was a waste of time.

21. Santorum was endorsed by the Duggars who live in Arkansas

And it's possible if there's a lot of people like the Duggars in Arkansas.

[tulsakatz]

23. well, I'm not familiar with the Duggars.....

...but there are lots of fundamentalists in this part of the country!

I'm in Oklahoma so Arkansas is just east of here.

[DJ13]

3. Utah

[customerserviceguy]

8. You so beat me to it

But I would be really surprised if he lost Michigan later this month. Maybe the Noot will back off of MI in order to give Santorum a chance to humiliate Mittens in one of his many "home" states.

[rufus dog]

19. and Idaho!

that and carrying Mesa, AZ (the largest Mormon population outside of Utah) and the area around BYU Hawaii gets him about 10 electoral votes.

[dflprincess]

4. There is nothing moderate about the Republican party in Minnesota

It was hijacked by the extreme right wing long before the national party was.

[joshcryer]

5. Colorado results are really early, I'd be surprised if they stay this way, to be honest.

[Exultant Democracy]

6. The more people see of Romney the less they like him, makes campaigning hard.

If I was in his shoes I would be looking for the exit. If you get your clock cleaned by the likes of Santorum what chance do you stand against Obama.

[tulsakatz]

9. haha.......good point!!

& what's up with the 9% uncommitted? I think that was in Missouri......these people showed up to say they don't like any of the candidates!!

[Marie Marie]

7. Wall Street. They love him.

He's trying to figure out how to make Wall Street a state.

[Blue Owl]

10. They love Santorum down there

in southern Missouri.

[ingac70]

11. New England...

that is it.

[joshcryer]

12. He just pulled ahead in Colorado, I think he'll win it. Fundies get out their results earlier.

[foo_bar]

14. 63% in: man-on-dog 36.9%, dog-on-car 35%

[joshcryer]

16. Yep, looks like I was wrong! Jefferson and Denver are out, no more Rmoney counties left.

Nice rout for Frothy.

[tulsakatz]

24. haha.....

I never would have thought of describing them like that but it fits!



too bad we don't have a dog on car smiley!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

20. Minnesota Republicans are NOT moderate (cf. Michelle Bachmann)

The Minnesota Republican Party got hijacked by megachurch fundamentalists and is the province of the stupid and the paranoid.

The sane people have all gone over to the DFL (Democratic-Farmer-Labor) or the Independence Party (the one that produced Jesse Ventura--even Jesse Ventura is saner than the MN Republicans).
