I'd be willing to bet Romney outspent Santorum in all the states he won last night by a margin of something like 5-1.
Fact That No One Likes Him May Be Hurting Romney
Could Foil Bid to Become First Openly Assholic President
DENVER – Exit polls from last night’s Republican contests reveal that former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s key obstacle to gaining the GOP nomination is the fact that voters cannot stand him.
According to Davis Logsdon, who conducted the polls for the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Ins ute, “Despite his superb organization, funding, and ground game, Mitt Romney is having trouble overcoming the perception among voters that he is a ginormous .”
Mr. Logsdon said that these obstacles “could prove fatal to his historic bid to become the nation’s first openly assholic President.”
Exit polls taken last night bear out that theory, with a majority of voters agreeing with the statement, “I think Mitt Romney is so odious, I would rather vote for a random doofus I’ve never heard of who goes around in sweater vests.”
The beneficiary of that sentiment last night was former Sen. Rick Santorum, who told supporters at a victory rally in Missouri, “I support the rights of the unborn child until it’s born and wants a gay marriage.”
Speaking to supporters in Denver, Mr. Romney uttered what some political experts are calling a possible gaffe: “I don’t care about all the people who didn’t vote for me. They just envy my massive wealth. And poor people? They can curl up die, and I won’t lose a wink of sleep. I bet you a million crisp dollars from my vault in Geneva.”

I'm really shocked at yesterdays results. I really had counted out Santorum after Florida.
Religion makes people stupid.
This is what you get for kissing The Donald's ring
Hatred of religion and religious people does something similar.
I have yet to see atheists kill one single religious person because of their beliefs.
relates to the stupidity hypothesis how?
Who's hating?
I'm just stating facts "inconvenient" to people suckered by Religion into voting for culture-war assholes like InSaneTorum, for whom same-sex marriage leads to bestiality and the destruction of different-sex marriage.
no discernible hate in that post either. my bad, boutons.
lol
As for the Russian Orthodox Church, Soviet authorities sought to control it and, in times of national crisis, to exploit it for the regime's own purposes; but their ultimate goal was to eliminate it. During the first five years of Soviet power, the Bolsheviks executed 28 Russian Orthodox bishops and over 1,200 Russian Orthodox priests. Many others were imprisoned or exiled. Believers were harassed and persecuted. Most seminaries were closed, and the publication of most religious material was prohibited. By 1941 only 500 churches remained open out of about 54,000 in existence prior to World War I.

Santorum winning Colorado is the real shocker of the night, well along with Romney finishing 3rd in Minnesota.
Too bad Santorum isnt on the Virginia ballot.
-zing!-
Soviet govmnt killing off religious leaders was not because of their hate of religious people. It was to preserve Communism. They were also killing anybody who was against Soviet government.
In other words they would kill any threat to Communism. Religious leaders were just one of the group of many.
lol "atheists never killed christians"

lol wrong again
State atheism in the Soviet Union was known as gosateizm, and was based on the ideology of Marxism–Leninism. As the founder of the Soviet state, V. I. Lenin, put it:
Religion is the opium of the people: this saying of Marx is the cornerstone of the entire ideology of Marxism about religion. All modern religions and churches, all and of every kind of religious organizations are always considered by Marxism as the organs of bourgeois reaction, used for the protection of the exploitation and the stupefaction of the working class.

Reading comprehension helps.
Again, communists would kill a religious person for the same reason they kill a pro-democracy person, because they could be a threat to communism, not because of what they believe.
Sounds like someone swallowed the party line on this one.Religious activities were defined by the USSR as reactionary, ergo, an officially atheist state did not kill Orthodox Christians for their religion, but for holding socially retrograde beliefs that posed a threat to communist rule. Orthodox bishops were dangerous enemies of the political state, not persecuted martyrs of conscience...it was an internal security matter...
How long can Santorum's campaign last once Willard's PAC's unleash their wrath and crush him just like they did Newt?
This is comical.
Christians were killed because their religious belief supposedly threatened the state. The reason why a communist would kill is because the christian's belief was ideologically defined as an hetical to the communist agenda.
You cannot separate religious belief from the perceived threat -- Christians were killed because of their religious belief.
probably not for long, but it would appear GOP primary voters aren't quite ready to swallow the inevitability of Mitt
lol @ "facts"
lol @ TB's stalking boutons with content-free
This is silly. I was responding to a post that said "hatred of religion drives people stupid"
The example of a communist government is not a good example of an atheist hating a religion. They are a government and what they do is preserve their power at all costs. They will kill capitalists, democrats, libertarians, religious without a second thought. That does not equate hating a religion IMO, that's self preservation.
internal security matter of an officially atheist state. no hate.
Santorum could surge with his true conservative speech at CPAC.
