REALLY? Santorum swept all three states?! Are these people brain dead or something?

and remember according to some sources 'Puke-um won Iowa. It would be ease win for Obama BUT people who vote for 'Puke-um scare the Freakin hell out of me. I come from PA so I know the 'puke-um voter and they are freaky. I hate to see them on a national level and what they may do When Puke-um falls behind in the polls.

Look at it this way, it keeps the clown car full of gas and full of clowns
The more they have to ride around with each other, the better it will be for Obama.

Gingritch wasn't even on the ballot, Romney and Paul didn't make any sort of appearance or invest any time, effort or money in this primary. Santorum was the only candidate who invested in this beauty contest, making a couple of appearances in the state.

Turn out was extremely low as well, somewhere in the teens, and only that high because there were other issues on the ballot in some districts.

The sad part of this, due to our disfunctional Republican Congress, Missourians just laid out seven million for this meaningless POS primary.

The real action takes place at the caucus that is over a month away.

and how I felt like no one's vote here really mattered. I was attacked for it and most didn't want to listen to what was happening here.

After reading a few threads it looks like most still don't want to listen about how this was a glorified straw poll.

I voted yesterday and I didn't even see the usual suspects who are always there at the same time for every time the polls are open. I really think they just didn't care. I also heard quite a few coworkers complaining and stating that they were not voting yesterday.

I wonder if Santorum stands after the primary.

It lends some momentum to Frothy the Snowman, making him seem a legitimate alternative to Newt for the "conservative" wing. That ends the story (at least for now) of Rmoney's "inevitability" coming out of Florida, and theoretically makes it a two-man race once again.

...breathing and rebreathing their own hot air" is open for debate, but has many of the same results.

Groupthink can be as bad or even worse than no-think.

after (and during) the Florida campaign. That's what Sicky Ricky was hanging in there for, and he finally got it.

I cannot speak to Missouri and Minnesota Republicans, however. I do believe that the center of the counrty is completely crazy.

Caucus turnouts in MN are always low. I drove by the GOP caucus location for my area in Saint Paul last night on my way to and from the DFL caucus location. The number of cars in the parking lot was fewer than for the 2010 GOP caucuses.

Everyone there was voting against Romney. The clown parade continues.
