Clean Sweep: Rick Santorum Defeats Mitt Romney In Three States

Romney won Colorado big in 2008, taking more than 60% of the vote, and won Minnesota with 41% of the vote the same year. Especially in Minnesota, Romney seemed poised for a repeat success: the state’s last governor, Tim Pawlenty, is Romney’s national campaign chair and has served as his most prominent surrogate since ending his own presidential run last August. But in 2012, his supporters apparently abandoned him en masse: in Minnesota he finished third with just 17% of the vote behind Ron Paul’s 27% and Santorum’s 45%. In Colorado, he took second with about 35% to Santorum’s 40%. Gingrich finished with just under 13% and Paul with just under 12%.

Missouri occupied a strange place in the race — because of a quirk in the scheduling, its primary doesn’t actually count towards determining its delegates and turnout was reportedly low. In addition, Newt Gingrich was not on the ballot.

1. Mitt is actually running a terrible campaign.

It is extremely boring and completely lacks any substance or theme or ideas or solutions. It's basically just Mitt puttering around state to state pandering to the masses and telling them what he thinks they want to hear, even if it flip-flops. Boring, boring campaign. No cohesion. Complete lack of substantial message or any idea/solutions.

3. Deluge the airways with ads.

And hope no one knows any better.

7. No surprises as they're banking on using super PAC

as their route to the White House.

5. I placed a link in my last post that really will give you a nasty visual a la Dan Savage

6. Exactly. I can only imagine an E Coli outbreak of huge proportions.

Can our water treatment facilities even handle it?

10. I was thinking the same thing.

A Santorum eruption.

4. No discussion of Man on Dog is ever complete without this:

An important link. How do I know it's an important link? Well, besides the fact that Dan Savage tells me so, Google, the most comprehensive search service also tells me so.

Don't worry, you won't get anything nasty from it, but it might make you go, ew. Oh, and not work safe nor appropriate for those under 18, much the same as for Santorum himself.

He won't be on the stage much longer, so get your Santorum while you can.

8. I heard that in all three states turnout was about half of what was expected.

I think only the most rabid actually turned out to vote..Moderates are almost obsolete in the Republican Party and may not even vote in the general election..

9. Once again

Santorum is on the lips of Republicans everywhere.

12. Just don't kiss a Republican !!! n/t

[MarkCharles]

13. Whenever Santorum is exploding around you, ... you...

get the towels and maybe some mops and shovels to wipe it up!

Then, if it keeps exploding around you, get out of the way, and take a good long hot shower!

I never had one of these explosions happen around me, but if it did, I'd evacuate ... no... not THAT way... I'd evacuate the area of the explosion, and move to the showers, after a long long run away.

Santorum should never "explode" upon any American, if you just take precautions, educate the voters, and leave all religion out of the vote.
