Let me get this straight: People voted for Santorum in "non-binding" contests?

That's not looking good for Mittens!

No matter what the Corporate Media says, the fact that people even bothered to come out and vote in non-binding contests means that they really, really don't like Mitt Romney, and they voted for the candidate that they really wanted: Santorum.

it's clear that they didn't want Mittens. And all of the states voting tonight are not those "it doesn't count" Southern states that are heavily prejudiced against Mormons that we've heard being alluded to.
