no thanks

Sorry.

stop celebrating folks.

Romney just pulled ahead in Colorado.

But don't despair, they just counted the suburbs outside of Denver (which are strong Romney supporters). There's still all the other counties that haven't been counted.

*cross fingers*

Earguy: Only 8% of precincts reporting in Colorado, but Santorum has 49% of the vote there.

Oh, could you imagine the LULz if Santorum wins all these, big?

I feel a mix of lulz and sheer terror that this guy is considered capable, by so many people, of being President.

He's Rick Santorum. What in the fark are they thinking? Oh god

Anyways, those precincts are pretty far-flung... I think Romney will win the cities.

buckler: It's more like an email. The message is encoded and transmitted as a single packet via a slow-transmission node-to-node protocol. Since the packet is indivisible, this results in a binary "transmission successfull/unsuccessful" outcome. This may result in inadvertent transmission to the incorrect address, but more likely, a failure to transmit will result in multiple attempts, with the transmission effort ultimately being discontinued, or the packet returned to the original sender, depending on the originating address being read by the transmitting systems.

This has made my evening better. Thank you.

DeaH: Is Romney really going to lose all three of these?

Denver Metro Area results slowly coming in. Romney will pull ahead.

Ooh. How is that? I love Hefeweizens.

twobux: Am I the only person that thinks that "Mittens" is a stupid name? And the whole Santorum does not sound / look like "scrotum." It's just lame. It's almost as stupid as "fartbama."

Let me guess, you are a Republican.

Republicans have issues with humor.

seventypercent: What's everybody's poison tonight? Here's mine:




*Cough* <snork>

Minnesota belongs to Santorum.

This shiat just gets weirder and weirder.

It's WILD here!

I love how that seltzer bottle has a picture of a real seltzer bottle on it...

theknuckler_33: I'll be damned, but I didn't even know this shiat was going on tonight.

One doesn't count and two are to elect delegates who will then elect regional delegates who will then elect state delegates who will then pledge to a candidate in April. It's worse than preseason football.

Yet again today I heard reporters deliberately and gratuitously using the phrase "santorum surge".

/ AFAIK, it's more of a "dribble" or "squirt".

The state that gave us Romer v. Evans. No surprise. Gay-hating bigots.

You've never been to Denver or Boulder, have you? The reason that referendum got anywhere near the ballot was because of the minority yet extremely religious right wing here in CO that is only ever relevant in towns small enough to fit its entire population into a single church every Sunday that unfortunately account for almost a third of the population in the state. Denver and the surrounding metro areas (Ft. Collins, Boulder, Aurora, Castle Rock, etc.) are very liberal. That referendum got snuck through and practically every small town hick flocked to their church to vote on it, which resulted in it passing by an extremely narrow margin because us "city folk" have more important things to do sometimes than voting on an off year election.

Every attempt since by the same church to get the "Personhood Amendment" through has not only failed spectacularly but is usually met with rather vicious opposition.

If you looked any further than that you'd realize that a lot of what you'd consider to be "Liberal" in popular culture is Denver Metro based. Chipotle, Mapquest, Quiznos, Spicy Pickle, Quark, Beatport, Examiner.com, MPEG LA, and more wind farms and green energy solutions opening up on a municipal level (read: not private, paid for by ballot referendums and bonds) than any other state in the country. Hell, Denver's LGBT community is healthier than San Francisco's almost.

We're pretty liberal over here, we just have the moonbats in the hills that shiat in the pool every now and then.

Mostly correct but you're forgetting the huge evangelical stronghold of Colorado Springs which skews any GOP primary results.

Colorado went 60+ % for Obama in 2008. In 2010 we elected a (D) Governor and a (D) Senator. If anything the independent voters repulsion of the whack job evangelicals and their fringe candidates means this state is safely in the blue.

/like a sir

So Ari Fleischer was just on CNN claiming that "the media" is going to "paint Santorum as an extremist" on social issues now.

He IS an extremist! He thinks Lawrence v. Texas was a mistake. He thinks we should re-criminalize sodomy. He literally believes that Americans have no right to privacy, even heterosexual Americans, because what Americans do in their own bedrooms is harmful to the nation and against the public interest. Santorum thinks contraception should be illegal. If you use condoms, Santorum has a problem with that, and he thinks it's his and everyone else's farking business.

He is insane. And he literally wants America to be a kind of Catholic theocracy, but without Catholicism's compassion, and their commendable interest in helping impoverished people.

Yeah I've seen the reports come in from my county (Arapahoe), and Romney's leading. Most of the Republics I know might grudgingly vote for him too. Hoping the farmers pull it in for Santorum, for the lols though.

Looks like the Denver votes are coming in, so Romney will see a huge bump. Should only be temporary when all the other counties get voted and Santorum should even out.

Gonna be a close one! GO SANTORUM!

Ooh. That's on my beer bucket list.

Colorado has 11% reporting and less than 1,000 votes.

Good job, Colorado.

Funny, Santorum leading by 50% after 7% of reporting according to AP.

Lando Lincoln: Benevolent Misanthrope: Jesus. Santorum. Holly schitt. WTF is going on with the GOP??

If I had a dime for every time I asked myself that question in the past ten years...I'd be able to afford my own moon base.

No joke. I can't get over how that party has devolved in the last 10 years. I used to vote Republican at times, back in the misty past. No way would I get anywhere near them now.

Seriously. It's like painting him as a dude in sweater vest. Santorum is an out and out theocrat.

I can only imagine the people at the DNC's offices are laughing so hard tears are streaming down their faces.

/I'm sure the people in the RNC's office also have tears running down their faces but for an entirely different reason

I'll look it up, but anyone have a site handy for realtime updates?

so, did Republicans in Minnesota look at pictures of the candidates and think that Santorum was Pawlenty?

(Crossposted for relevancy)

Any rational Republican (if they exist anymore) will be abstaining from this particular election. Instead, they'll just lie back and think of Reagan.

It's cold here in Boulder. Romney will claim the Metro area and the Western slope by the end of the night.

Hey, the more primaries/caucuses are divvied up amongst all the assholes running, the better. I want a brokered convention, and if there isn't a clear "running away with it" candidate by then, I'm going to laugh myself sick.

I'd love it if Santorum swept over all three states.

google's coverage (the article associated with discussion) seems to be more or less instantaneous. there's a selector at the top right of the map so you can change the state.

Gingrich, please drop out of the stupid race you have no chance anyway, you're just sucking up Santorum's frothy momentum and supporters >:(

Thanks much.

Jamespoon: Minnesota belongs to Santorum.

This shiat just gets weirder and weirder.

With 42% of the caucuses reporting in - only 10k people are reported to cast a vote. In 2008 - 62,828 showed up for the GOP caucus. Even considering some of the larger precincts haven't reported in yet - that is a rather large drop in caucus voters.

/and its 20 degrees here and calm - no weather excuse to not vote

I was just thinking that very thing - if they don't have a clear candidate - and I hope they don't, for the lulz of a brokered convention - I am going to laugh myself silly.

it's almost like the GOP has gone batshiat insane and most of their voters want nothing to do with them.

I'd love to see a brokered convention at least once in my lifetime. And it would be super lulzy if that goes down in Florida.
