That momentum will come to an end soon enough. The Maine Caucus is next, which I'd actually bet in Santorum's favor. He seems to do well in Caucus states. After that, though, Arizona, Michigan and Ohio are up and they're all strong Romney states with lots of delegates.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see you guys broker a convention.

I think the fact that Romney is having so much trouble beating him speaks volumes about his ability to connect with people. Honestly, if he's going to lose the primary to a guy like Rick, his odds of beating Obama were probably pretty slim the whole time.

I still don't necessarily think that's going to happen, though. It'll all depend on Michigan and Arizona next week.

Well, it looks like Romney is going to win this thing after all, in no small part because of the "shellacking" he gave Santorum last night. That's good news for you guys because Romney is the best chance you have at taking on Obama. What's bad news for you guys is that Romney is your best hope of taking on Obama.

If I were a Republican, I'd have been praying for enough Santorum victories, and subsequent Gingrich victories and Romney victories to broker a convention. Then at least you'd have a prayer of nominating someone who wasn't one of these bums.

The most expensive trolling in US history.

Yeah, that pretty much says it all.

I'll repost what I did on another forum. My predictions for the evening/rest of the race

Gingrich will handily win Georgia. Paul won't win much of anything. Most of the contests are pretty cut and dry, but the real one to keep an eye on is Ohio. If Romney wins decisively, it's time for Santo to drop. If Santo wins, it's still advantage Romney. Personally, I predict a very narrow Romney win, based mostly on his momentum. Barring any major gaffes, I think that should keep. Romney will be the nominee, even if Santorum wins Ohio. An Ohio win for Santorum will drag this thing out longer, but it won't change the outcome.

Romney's biggest win of the day is going to be Georgia. He won't win in the traditional sense, but winning it will give Gingrich a rationale for staying in the race, which is bad news for Santorum. If Gingrich had dropped out after Florida, the boost that his votes would have given to Santorum would have given him Michigan and put him really close in Arizona. Gingrich's continued presence in the race is only good for Romney.

Unfortunately, the other candidates seem to want to continue even though they mathematically cannot get 1,144 delegates unless they sweep the rest of the contests. Santorum is even sounding spiteful and angry like Gingrich now. What's the point of running if you're only in it anymore in order to try to deny someone else from winning? Not honorable at all.

I think that pretty much sums up the GOP race right now. Nobody but Romney can win, but the other two are sticking around just to fuck him over.

In all seriousness, last night kicked a lot of ass for me. My candidate won with a 50 point lead over his opponent. And because I essentially put together the voter contact and GOTV mechanisms that won the election by myself, I'm getting promoted. I'm being made the deputy campaign manager so that I can be trained and made the campaign manager in full by the end of July. So yeah...pretty good primary night for me.

I will read his policies now.

That takes a while. Because he's run as a liberal senate candidate, a moderate governor and now a conservative presidential candidate, Willard has been on both sides of pretty much every major issue in US politics. He has no core values, so far as I can tell.
