Santorum revives campaign with wins in Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota - The Washington Post

Just when the MSM has it all decided, the voters say 'not so fast.'
Voters in MN,CO and MO yesterday delivered a body blow to the GOP's inevitable nominee. Rick Santorum won a non-binding primary in MO by thirty points. He also won caucuses in MN and CO, both contests won by Mr. Romney four years ago. In all three states Mr. Romney received far fewer voters than he got in a much more competitive primary four years ago.
After Saturday's win in Nevada, conventional wisdom had Romney the nominee. Now there is doubt.
As for Mr. Santorum, he may now become the alternative to Mr. Romney as the primaries continue. There is a reality to votes last night. It really didn't allocate delegates and Mr. Romney still has the edge in that category.

conventional wisdom must be pretty dumb because history shows that all these primaries are up in the air and very unpredictable.

Anybody notice that the liberal infested coastal states award delegates and the heartland States award moral support only? I would like to see a 90 day primary campaign period and one national primary for each party where EVERY State participates.

Isn't there always doubt when it comes down to the whole thing? It's always been my understanding that a delegate can go and vote any way they see fit in the end. They can vote for anyone. It doesn't have to be the name on their little paper they arrive with.

Best news I've heard in a while. I'm going to send Rick a check. Anyone joining me?

9:51 it is way more than doubt. Contest after contest after contest has shown that these races are just as likely to change directions as anything.
