Missourians often pronounce their state's name like 'Misery.'

You wont be after this episode of "R"-tards

I don't like any of the 4 remaining, but I feel like I am in some sort of Bizzaro World. Santorum is polling in the lead in Missouri and Minnesota, and is polling 2nd in Colorado. Are you farking kidding me?

I don't think he'll win the primary; I also think he's being taken advantage of by moles on his team who are not working in his best interest, and they are making him look bad. I also think he's starting to lose his marbles.

Yup, it's his turn again. Must be his week to hold the "Not Romney" ball. Of course, there's still just enough of them to spread the "Not Romney" vote around that "Not Not Romney" will still be able to stumble over the finish line first.

/Bet he's leaning on Santorum and Paul to stay in.

Santorum has spent much more time in CO, MN & MO than his opponents. Candidates who do that often beat their polls. nyti.ms/AikdQx

jadedlee: If it helps, Gingrich isn't on the Missouri ballot.

Unfortunately, that doesn't help, though I appreciate the information. It is Gingrich and Santorum still being in the race that makes my head spin.

If you had told me 6-12 months ago that on 2/7/12, not only would Gingrich and Santorum still be on the ballot, but they both had primary/caucus victories under their belts and were still being talked about as dark horse candidates that could pull this thing off, I would have thought "What? Did all the electable candidates decide not to run?"

Well, if it helps, all of the electable candidates decided not to run.

That's the second time an embed from twitter has done that. Presumably it's been doing that the whole time.

In today's chapter of "Never underestimate the stupid" I put $20 on Santorum at the end of December at 12 cents. Up big tonight Link (new window)

i expect this to be a great night for a few reasons. (1) Chemically Castrated Gordon Gecko is going to lose to one or more of the swamp people. (2) No matter who wins he will probably do it with a vote total the size of a crowd at an MLS game. (3) I am drinking and listening to music instead of doing whatever work I ought to be doing.

kronicfeld: ...Romer v. Evans...

Thanks for spelling that right. I didn't want to be the jerk who corrected it in the other thread, but since there's actually a candidate named Roemer it's worth noting.

that was setted over 15 years ago about a law that was passed 20 years ago. Colorado has changed alot in that time, Obama won the state with 54%. FOTF and others are less influential now.

I'm guessing Santorum will take Minn, but not Colorado.

Either way it's big news if he takes one. What fustercluck the GOP primary is right now...

Thankfully, that's impossible. Since Santorum requires fecal matter, it's not as likely to appear on a country as it is to appear on an anusry.

zedster		2012-02-07 09:03:26 PM

Of course Santorum is surging, t3h gays are off celebrating their win in California putting a lot of pressure in Santorum to come from behind

as the progenitors of modern representative democracy we ought to have a word for the excitement you feel when the 1% results are in line with your greatest hopes and dreams. and one for the desperate hope that the first 1% of returns are just some illiterate backwoods where they've never known who the hell they should vote for anyway.

in any case 1% reporting in Minn and Mo both have Santorum up.
