because the areas postponed their vote due to inclement weather. I wonder how many of those are Ron Paul votes? And how did Rmoney come from being so far behind Paul to win by three points?

facing in some of the closely contested States in the general. (If Rmoney is the nominee or not doesn't even matter, as this is the guts of the GOP establishment at deep, wet-boy work).

Mitt was hypnotized along with Bugs while watching that cartoon and keeps reminding everyone of his wealth like a mindless automaton.
