U.S. Presidential Race 2012 - SteveO - 08-02-2012
Was this result expected ? I guess from what the news said , it won't affect Romney , Santorum didn't get any delegates ????..wouldn't he get a few just for winning ?
Also how did they srew up in Missouri with Gingrich off the ballot ...that's bizarre!

I think it was expected in Missouri, Minnesota was a tossup, and Colorado was expected to go Romney.
Not sure where you got he didn't pick up any delegates.
He's now in second place on that score.
The Gingrich campaign screwup also will happen when Virginia comes around.
Deadlines weren't met by an oversight.
Not sure, but I think heads rolled.

This Republican Race has probably the most unpredictable things that occur. But I still think Mitt Romney will be the nominee but once he does, it will be utterly meaningless because the Republican Party will be so divided.

Yeah I did not expect to see Santorum giving Romney a run for his money.

you keep saying that my friend
all due respect,no different than any other election here.
after the dem primary in '08, everyone said Obama and Hillary hate each other.
we see what happened there
the parties always unite when the skirmish is over

I am wondering if Obama will dump Biden and go with Hillary this year ? Don't count her out to run for OTP in 2016 !

Well there is a major difference between Obama vs. Clinton and Gingrich vs. Romney. Obama and Clinton did attack each other but it was based on real issues but with Romney and Gingrich are also personally attacking each other too and it further dividing the party. Trust me, even Republican personnels know this is getting out of control. I know they will unite but by then it will be too late because by then the Republican personnels will be playing the chocking game.

The local radio news channel said that Romney wasn't concerned in his losses to Santorum because Santorum didn't pick up any delegates anyway ! I thought that report was bizarre ! I will call the station to task on this one !
