To say I'm a little surprised to hear about Ricky pulling off wins in ALL THREE CONTESTS is an understatement. As I mentioned in my previous post on the subject, I expected a very strong showing or even win for Ricky in Colorado. I mean, c'mon, Colorado Springs is home to Focus on the Family.
But as the BBC pointed out, Minnesota must have had some serious Tea Party elements who viewed Romney as too moderate. As for Missouri, no one except Santorum was there, because the PRIMARY DOESN'T COUNT. Except, y'know, for the influence it may have on the caucus next month.
I think Newt said it best: Tuesday was the end of any attempt to declare an early winner. The GOP is determined to tear itself apart during this primary season, and we're just gonna have to ride it out.
The show should be pretty good at least!
