But if he DOES win by only a couple of percentage points or a few hundred or less votes... that's still a loss.

Like you said. Colorado freaking borders Utah.

CNN just said "This is EMBARRASSING to say the least for Mitt Romney, especially in Colorado."

I just really, really thought he would at least hit a good strong victory in Colorado.

Obama must be smiling. BIG.

Updated 1:09 a.m. ET - Rick Santorum swept three nominating contests held Tuesday evening, upsetting frontrunner Mitt Romney and injecting new energy into the former Pennsylvania senator's campaign.

Santorum scored broad victories in the Minnesota caucus and a primary in Missouri, according to NBC News projections. But Santorum's most significant upset came in Colorado, where the state GOP declared him the apparent victor in caucuses there.

Romney made his hardest push of the three states in Colorado, having campaigned there and spent money on advertising. Santorum's upset raises fresh doubts about the breadth of Romney's appeal to Republicans, and abates some of the momentum Romney had built from consecutive victories in the Florida primary and Nevada caucus.

"I don't stand here to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney; I stand here to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama," Santorum told a raucous crowd in Missouri.
