Colorado Caucuses

So the Colorado caucuses are now winding down, and with only my precinct reporting, Rick Santorum is the big winner with 11 votes, edging out Mittens O'bamany with 9, 1 for Newt and 2 for Uncle Fester.

Later results may change this result. In the end, it doesn't matter as the Colorado primary is in June, by which time the race will be decided.

According to the rules of Republican primogeniture, Romney, having finished second to McCain in the last election, is the designated heir to the candidacy in this one. Newt, finishing second to Romney, will be the nominee in 2016 should Romney lose, and Santorum and Perry will duke it out in 2016 to see who gets the nomination in 2020.

OR: The Tea Party could emerge as a force to getting out an otherwise reluctant Republican vote which gives Romney the win in spite of himself, then either forms a real new party or preempts the existing Republicans to oust the RINOS and put foreward Mitch Daniels, Scott Walker, or Bobby Jindal as future presidential candidates.

Remember: 2012; It's not just an election, it's a restraining order.
