Morning everyone!
Bwwahh hhaaaa! What a night!! I can not express enough joy that Romney got clobbered especially in my state. I did not see Colorado going to anyone but Romney so it pleases me to no end. I give props to Cruella because it was her county that delivered it. I had no doubt that Colorado Springs would go to Santorum but who knew that the counties that Romney did win would be such small victories and The Springs would be the deciding county.
My particular precinct went to Romney by a good number. In my caucus room, there were over 60 people and 43 went to Romney. I walked in to t-shirts, buttons, signs and hats that all said Romney. Doing a head count of that gave me the freedom to write in Gov. Palin’s name without worry of my vote somehow throwing it to Romney. I will say that the only passionate support in the room was for Romney and Paul. The Newt and Santorum support was really soft. I think it was more against Romney than anything.
Since Gov. Palin did not advise me on who to vote for and I really couldn’t pick between Gingrich and Santorum, I happily wrote in Palin’s name. All I really wanted last night was for Romney to lose and he did!!!
Santorum winning Colorado tells me one VERY big thing. If Santorum could beat Romney here, Palin would have smoked Romney here…
Now, for reality, the official delegate count didn’t change last night. Because of the new rules on delegate allocation I suspect that no one will be dropping out until after the Texas primary and in reality, no one should. They all still have a shot but it won’t stop me from taunting Rombots that he should drop out. It’s really just for fun…
As of now the delegate count stands at this:
Romney 106 – Gingrich 38 – Santorum 22 – Paul 20
I am firmly convinced that the candidates are taking this to the convention. These guys are playing the game of delegates so I don’t see anyone looking at anything other than that in deciding whether to stay in or not. For fun, I would love to see Paul win Maine on Saturday. Let’s give him a win too and just keep this going. This isn’t about the number of states won or the percentages. This election cycle will be all about delegate counts.
All I can say is that Santorum better hold on to his hat because he will be the target of the GOP establishment, Romney machine, the liberal media and the Obots who hate Rick’s social stances will turn up the attacks to the highest octane possible. His distaste for the Tea Party and major lacking as a fiscal conservative is going to be revealed. The question will be if the voting public will tolerate that more than Romney.
I’m not a Santorum supporter but I would take him over Romney but I don’t think he can beat Obama. I don’t think any of them can at this point.

I have mixed feelings on this. I don’t want to see the definition of marriage changed but I do not like the idea that the government has the power to tell me who I can and can’t marry. That is a government too powerful for me. I don’t think the government should be involved in marriage at all. I actually agree with Ed Morrissey here. Shocking I know… but I believe that as a Christian that this approach does not interfere with my faith. It gives my faith more freedom to set the terms of marriage and it also agrees with my belief in limited government. I do realize that I am in the minority with this and I’m fine with that.
Stupid is, as stupid does…
This will be exciting… or a pain in the arse for those going.
