Did Democrats Carry Out "Operation Backdoor" in Missouri and Minnesota...

[Politico]

...to get more people to Google the term "Santorum"? Do they get that much of a kick out of horrifying people with that silly meme?

It's strange how Romney and Gingrich are trailing Paul and Santorum, especially in comparison to the expected trend in Colorado. Unlike the closed caucus of Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota are open to all registered voters, which does not make a lot of sense really. I am going to blame the open caucus, and T-Paw for being an epic fail.

I expect Romney to win Colorado because it is closed only to Republicans.

Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

This guy has been running for president for over six years and he can't seal the deal. Priceless.

[Lief 🗽]

The base hates your candidate. So much that they're coming out in droves for a guy that lost his last election by 18 points. Deal with it.

[Tender Branson]

Blame your own guy, not the Democrats.

I am calling shenanigans by Democrats here, especially after seeing the glee from Obama fanatics who want to turn all of America into Detroit. Very good job, but once the secret plans start leaking it is going to help Romney, especially if we can get it on record that some immature Democrats intentionally voted for Santorum because they think the Santorum Internet meme is hilarious...

Colorado will be the tell-tale sign, of course. The dirt always comes out in the wash...

stop trollin bro

I admit, it was all me, I got 80000 Missourians to vote for Santorum because of Google.

stop trollin bro

The only people trolling today are Democrats in Missouri and Minnesota. It will be hilarious how much this will help Romney, especially among Independents, after we out whomever is behind this.

I don't see what the conspiracy is. People google Santorum, which makes them vote for him how?

No, Democrats voted for Santorum because they wanted to disrupt Romney's road to victory with the added benefit of giving Santorum publicity again. Why would they want that? These sick puppies get a kick out of unwitting voters, especially seniors, becoming horrified by what they find when they do a Google search of Santorum...

Why can't Republicans like Santorum?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

If you aren't an Obama operative... you need help, I'm sure the Paulites have enough tin-foil left over from their hats to help you out.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Oh Jesus Christ on the cross... are you for serious?

[LastVoter]

If they did, they are a lot more competent than the Republican party, and hence deserve to win the 2012 elections.

RomneyBot 0.9 wasn't programmed with a routine for dealing with losses, it seems. I guess it needs bugs worked out before hitting 1.0.

Why can't Republicans like Santorum?

Obviously a number of Republicans like Santorum, too, but these numbers are nuts, especially in comparison to Colorado and the previous closed contests.

Nobody did exit polling either to confirm what kind of hipsters came out of Missouri/Minnesota.

The dirt will come out in the wash. Shenanigans definitely happened. T-Paw is not that much of an epic fail...

Just one question snowy...

Where were YOU during the caucus tonight?

Apparently doing something involving backdoors and Santorum and something else.  I'm not the best person to ask.  Politico would know.

Participating in the Republican caucus is where he and the rest of the young, hardcore Minnesota Democrats were at. What a joke an open caucus is...

Those fuzzy math polls you don't believe in were predicting this all weekend.  Of course, if they were true, that means your candidate is finished regardless.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yes, T-Paw is that much of an epic fail. He seriously is.

No serious polling on Missouri or Minnesota was done. Not even internally. The networks didn't even bother with exit polling because the contests mean so little.

The shenanigans will leak eventually. I remember when Republicans played this game in 2008 to mess with Clinton ("Operation Chaos"). Why do the parties still have open caucuses/primaries, anyway? What an odd setup. In order to participate in the Republican (Democratic) primary/caucus for your state, you should have to be a registered Republican/Independent (Democrat/Independent) on January 1.

What on earth is "serious polling"?  Did PPP just decide to make up their numbers here and here.
