Romney getting hurt in Colorado Springs area.

According to Jeremy Meyer of the Denver Post, Mitt Romney is losing badly to Rick Santorum in El Paso County, home to Colorado Springs, trailing him by about 1,700 votes with 193 of 199 precincts reporting.

This could make Mr. Romney's math very difficult in Colorado. He won 59 percent of the vote in El Paso County in 2008, close to his statewide total. Although the area has a large number of evangelical voters, it is closer to being a swing region than other parts of the state in the context of a Republican caucus.

which fits in nicely with my assertion that Rmoney can't clear the Commander-In-Chief hurdle.


The guy protested in favor of the draft while he had an exemption from it and he said in '07 that Bin Laden wasn't worth catching.

Recent polls even have President Obama more trusted than Republicans in both foreign affairs and protection against terrorism.

Rmoney is weak here and we should be planning on making him unacceptable as a candidate as soon as possible.

On Edit: 37 apiece with 63% reporting -- this man just might know whereof he speaks!
