Stop the presses!!! MSNBC just announced Romney

won the Nevada caucuses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am shocked.

Okay, I love MSNBC, but they are part of the corporate media at the end of the day. They are trying like mad to make this "race" exciting.

Romney is now, and has always been, the nominee.

I did appreciate the Gingrich surge for the comedic value, however.

Agreed. Santorum doesn't have the national prominence so most jokes about him fall flat. TexasTowelie Feb 2012 #3

Can I infer from your comments that you didn't appreciate the Santorum surge?

I'm sorry, but nothing is more amusing than Gingrich calling everyone mean and playing the victim. Nothing.

However, Newt's blatant hypocrisy and outright lies have made for a great show throughout the debates and into the primaries. When I hear him speak, I feel like I'll be the victim if by a miracle he became president.
