So I'm guessing that starting tomorrow Romney will have his Super-Pac skull fuck Santorum to death

 

[PhoenixDark]

Santorum looking strong. If he can just pull out a second place in Colorado...hmm

No wonder the Romney folks freaked out over the WaPo/ABC poll. Romney's entire argument is based on electability. If he loses that, other candidates (ie Santorum) can get a second chance.

 

[Brinbe]

So weird to see all that Romney "momentum" take another dive. This whole primary season just continues to get odder.

And I know Santorum did work in these states, but it's not like Romney did nothing either.

 

[Mike M]

Wow, Santorum is leading in all three contests tonight. Gonna be a laugh riot to see the reaction from Romney's camp if he comes up empty handed tonight.

Wonder if Gingrich will manage another resurgence if Romney and his surrogates start after Santorum...

 

[PhoenixDark]

Santorum up early in Colorado ha. Wow

 

[Officerrob]

CNN calls Missouri for Santorum. First of at least two wins tonight

 

[Black Republican]

Santorum up early in Colorado ha. Wow

i dont even/.....

 

[SpeedySwaf]

So, are any of these "winner take all" like Florida, or is it divided up?

 

[Tamanon]

It's funny that even after being banished to Community for trying to be an uber-thread, we still have all the primary talk in here instead of a separate thread.

 

[Oblivion]

LOL, Newt has ZERO percent of the votes in Missouri so far.

 

[The Librarian]

lol Romney. You must be sweating a little right now.

Poor, poor Mittens.

This race.

 

[Frank the Great]

i actually think santorum is a much better candidate than romney. i think republicans would have a better chance with him, he is way more relate-able.

 

[Miletius]

It's funny that even after being banished to Community for trying to be an uber-thread, we still have all the primary talk in here instead of a separate thread.

I don't think there's enough general interest in these smaller primaries and cacuses to generate their own thread.

It would be truly LOL worthy if Santorum even gets close in Colorado tonight. I can see him taking Minnesota and well, Missouri is all spoken for already, but Colorado would be crazy kinds of special.

 

[Brinbe]

Really hoping those Colorado %s hold. Would definitely be the biggest surprise so far.

 

[Averon]

Holyshit!! Santorum going 3 for 3 tonight? Wasn't Romeny suppose to win Colorado?

Obama must be laughing his ass off right night.

 

[Particle Physicist]

Only 1% reporting with Colorado.

I'm about ten minutes away from home. I can throw a thread up in the ot if you guys think there should be one, but I get the feeling that there's not a huge amount of demand for up to the minute news in non-binding caucuses in Missouri?

 

[Suikoguy]

I take some of the blame, i've been busy with class and forgot to make a new thread.

 

[Invisible_Insane]

i actually think santorum is a much better candidate than romney. i think republicans would have a better chance with him, he is way more relate-able.

All Obama would have to do is roll tape on Santorum talking about a federal ban on contraception. The man is toxic, and I think the establishment would probably try to act to keep him from the nomination of it came to that.

 

[Door2Dawn]

Isn't Romney heavily favored to win Colorado?

 

[Oblivion]

Wow, there are 3 states being covered today, yet even CNN is displaying absolutely no excitement whatsoever.

 

[Chumly]

Very crazy that the Santorum surge is coming back into play now. I wonder how long before romney sets his sights on him and Gingrich comes roaring back

 

[Black Republican]

if santorum wins minnesota and colorado, doesnt that put him in 2nd place in delegates?

 

[Mike M]

lol Romney. You must be sweating a little right now.

Poor, poor Mittens.

This race.

He can always look forward to enjoying firing some people who provide him services tomorrow.

 

[QuickSilverD]

Wow, there are 3 states being covered today, yet even CNN is displaying absolutely no excitement whatsoever.

not much excitement here either, I remember when I could reload every 30 seconds and there be new replies.

But seriously what did Santorum did? he is going 3 for 3 tonight, do people not like romney anymore?

 

[Officerrob]

Wow, Romney carried Minnesota easily four years ago, he's getting crushed there early tonight

 

[Black Republican]

twitter feed: Worth keeping in mind: In MO GOP primary four years ago, turnout was 580,000. Tonight so far, it's at about 120,000, with 44% reporting.

yikes

 

[jamesinclair]

Nah, I don't think it's a general interest sort of thing? All the delegate-counters are in here.

It's funny that even after being banished to Community for trying to be an uber-thread, we still have all the primary talk in here instead of a separate thread.

Risky strategy.

They might downgrade us to the other forum.

The GOP sure is excited to get rid of Obozo!

 

[RustyNails]

Only 1% reporting. Remember, Ron Paul was leading Iowa when 1% was reporting.

50-60% of Republicans have never liked Romney. Anybody but Mitt has just shifted back to Santorum

When did they start liking him? Republicans tried to trick themselves into thinking Gingrich could debate just because they don't want Romney.

 

[benjipwns]

LOL, Newt has ZERO percent of the votes in Missouri so far.

He's not on the ballot.

 

[Officerrob]

Even in the Republican Primary, how in the world is Romney favored to win Michigan?

 

[benjipwns]

His dad was Governor. And is still pretty fondly remembered.

Four years ago the Missouri primary was awarding delegates, this is just a non-binding straw poll.

The caucus to decide the 52 Missouri delegates is March 17th.

 

[RustyNails]

His dad was governor of Michigan.

 

[The Librarian]

Just like his former debate coach!

 

[Oblivion]

He's not on the ballot.

Oh, whoops. I knew he wasn't on it for two states, but wasn't sure which ones.

 

[Ecotic]

not much excitement here either, I remember when I could reload every 30 seconds and there be new replies.

This election year quite frankly is sleepy. In 2008 you had an open election, people dying for a new President, and the best political personalities around running for the nomination. It was pretty amazing in retrospect.

This year people are about evenly split on wanting a new President (more or less), the Republican candidates are boring, and none are loved by their base.

 

[Officerrob]

His dad was governor of Michigan.

I understand that, but he basically said that state should wither away and die.

 

[Chumly]

I know the Missouri primary is non-binding but Santorum is CRUSHING Romney there. If im not mistaken that will easily be the biggest spread so far.

 

[Mike M]

I understand that, but he basically said that state should wither away and die.

The people who took exception to what he said are by and not Republican voters.

 

[Oblivion]

What the hell is the point of this, then?

 

[Dude Abides]

Damn Mitty getting his clock cleaned. The fuck is with the GOP this cycle.

 

[Black Republican]

Santorum probably wishes he had his own sheldon

oh and nbc calls santorum winner of Minessota

 

[Officerrob]

What the hell is the point of this, then?

Building-up momentum for the Anti-Romney express

 

[jamesinclair]

What the hell is the point of this, then?

Media posturing and cash grabbing. We are talking about the GOP after all.

The other two do have delegates, as does the ongoing Maine caucus.

 

[Brinbe]

I'm gonna enjoy Romney going negative on Santorum... that's really gonna turn out well for him. Especially considering that segment of the GOP base that he needs to win over and still don't trust him. Oh, it'll be fantastic.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

What the hell is the point of this, then?

Momentum! Santorumentum.

 

[CrankyKong]

Santorum comes from behind!

 

[Chumly]

What the hell is the point of this, then?

When Republicans in Missouri head to the polls, they are voting in what is called a nonbinding primary. That means no matter who wins the popular vote, it will not determine who wins the state's 52 delegates -- three of whom are unpledged Republican National Committee delegates.

On March 17, Missouri Republicans will caucus in counties to elect congressional district and state convention delegates. Then on April 21, they will select 24 of the state's 52 delegates and award them to presidential candidates. And then on June 2, the Missouri GOP will meet in a statewide convention to choose the remaining delegates.

Republicans run on a platform of wasting taxpayers money which is why they are holding this primary.
