Do you guys realize that Mittens paid $10 million for 8 votes?!?!

Mittens won by 8 votes! That is astonishing. And what's even more astonishing is that he paid $10 million dollars for 8 votes while Rick Santorum, who was running in 8th place only a few weeks ago, spent about $500,000 and came in 2nd. That can't be good news for Mitt. New Gingrich spoke the truth about Mittens: the only way he can win is by buying elections and counting on the Corporate Establishment that wants him to be its candidates to do the dirty work while he's sitting there, a pompous, arrogant ASSHOLE pretending to be above the fray!

Romney's 10Mil is equal to Santorum's 500K, for Mittens!... Little Star Jan 2012 #2
Mitt still can't break 25% ceiling and he actually got 41 less votes than 4 years ago. Old and In the Way Jan 2012 #3

Keep spending the money in the primary Mittens. The GOP may go broke before they get to November.

No sweat for Romney, there's plenty more where that comes from. LOL

He could win the nomination, but, if he does, there will be a 3rd party movement that will claim the 'true conservative" mantle. Or, even better, discourage a significant number not to vote at all.

His 'victory' speech last night was a very strange thing to watch. He came across as a used car salesman who was desperately trying to close the deal with a customer who was not buying his pitch.
