Game Changer? Rick Santorum Wins Colorado Caucus

video
» 48 comments

Rick Santorum has won Colorado, CNN reports.

The announcement will send shockwaves across the political spectrum, as Romney, who was perceived to be the Republican frontrunner wakes up tomorrow, with less states won than the former Pennsylvania Senator.

“This is a major upset!” said Denver-based political analyst Floyd Ciruli, according to the Denver Post. “Definitely, there is a new story now…This harkens back to 2010, when the Tea Party essentially upset the established Republican candidates for the Colorado governor and Senate races, and it clearly demonstrates that the grass roots of the party remains very conservative and is unwilling to unite behind the presumptive front-runner,” Ciruli said.

CNN scooped the other networks by having the Republican State Chairman Ryan Call make the announcement live below:

    This turns the race into a frothy pool of doubt.

    Other than Santorum’s supporters, the people cheering the loudest over Rick’s primary and caucus victories are Obama’s supporters.

    Simple prop to occupy our time. I look forward to several months from now when all the wing nuts on here are telling us how the man they couldn’t stand in Mitt Romney is the only man who can save us.

    This is what happens when the big dogs get into a fight…the little dogs sneak around the side and grab the bone.  It isn’t safe being a little dog holding a juicy bone though. Dogpile!

    If Mitt Romney had been in office in 2010 and up for reelection, The Tea Party would have challenged him in the primaries.

    And Minnesota and Missouri!
    The new name striking fear into the hearts of Liberals – SANTORUM!

    2012 is a referendum on GOP Freedom vs. Democratic Marxism!

    And remember, all you Catholics and Christians out there, the warning from the Bishops last week: YOU MUST CHOOSE YOUR SIDE! – Godless Democrats or Freedom-of-Religion.

    More like they pulled into a farm maintenance yard & siphoned some purple gas.

    conditioned only by the fact that Santorum won 300% of SFA.

    Timothy Tebow On Toast, given how Romney loses favorability (the more you know, the less you like), the wingers will be wanting to vote for Obama.

    You need to stop believing your own BS. Liberals are afraid of Santorum? How does that work?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Emma-Thomas/100003357377085 Emma Thomas

    Obama vs Santorum. Does that sound right to anyone who isn’t a religious nut? Santorum can’t beat BO the White House dog.

    LOL, Obama is going to lose 40 states against anyone. You religious bigots will be the big losers.

    No, it is not. You people seriously thought Palin was loved by the public. Well, she was on a ballot against Obama. She and her running mate were landslided. You think a one dimensional homophobe like Santorum scares anyone, let alone liberals. You think he will be Obama. You need to get back to this planet. Your entire existence is why the term BS makes sense.

    Can Obama be beaten? Probably fairly easily, but not by Santorum. Not in a million years. At least be realistic.

    I guess the message of being Israel’s warmongering slaves really appeals to voters!

    Too bad for Santorum (and the Democrats) that none of the wins were binding. He will be lucky to get a hand-full of delegates from this.

  • Anonymous

    lol@ mourning joe jumping on the santorum bandwagon….he just said santorum has pushed the President out of the political mainstream….just because he won 3 nonbinding elections….joe thinks obama should be worried and romney is dead…now that wackjob is on a social issues trirade while at the same time claiming he doesnt talk about them…….what a joke conservatives are

    Don’t quit your day job at the massage parlor. Calling everyone a homophobe that don’t believe the same nonsense as you isn’t working anymore. EVERY election when gay marriage is on the ballot it loses, even in California. Are they ALL homophobes?

    Now go back to work you have a customer. I think his name is John.

    Now there’s a brilliant argument.

    Third graders are allowed to comment here?  Well….yeah.

  • Charles Ulysses Feney

    I guess it is possible that Santorum has now been designated the Opus Dei counterforce to Obama’s persecution of the what the Catholic church perceives as it’s mandate to produce unlimited alter boys for their pedo-priests.

    Santorum with Dead Baby Decorum

    When it comes to this asshat Santorum
    The best thing we can do is ignore ‘em
    Anyone who wants to comb
    A dead baby’s hair at home
    Is seriously missing basic decorum!

    In Congress, he praised Sandusky at Penn State
    ‘Cause I guess he thinks that pederasts are great.
    He now denies that he knew him
    Yet he probably blew him
    A kiss for keeping up the recruitment rate.

    Santorum is a social issue contortionist
    Who’s wife lived with a 40 year older abortionist
    Whom she met at her birth!!
    So for what it is worth
    This punk is cigarette trade for neocon extortionists.

    Santorum’s just another neocon whore
    Who loves to promote the zionist’s war.
    He’s a fundie whack job
    Whose on Netanyahu’s knob
    And his corrupt record is a festering sore.

    That will play well in Mississippi and Alabama.  No where else, though.

    Yes, watch out 90-delegate-Romney…4-delegate-Santorum is on your tailpipe.  Wait, who’s side am I on?  Oh yeah.  Go Santorum!

    If Santorum is surging from his behind, get him some Imodium.  As for his surging mouth, sew it shut.
