    irregularities in several precincts.

    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

      I heard that in some precincts, there were more ballots than registered voters.

        So, in tomorrow's caucuses it looks like it's a contest between Mitt and Santorum (according to Public Policy Polling):

        Colorado - Mitt at 40%, up 14 points on Santorum at 26% (The Gingrich is at 18%)
        Minnesota - Mitt at 27%, down 2 points to Santorum at 29% (The Gingrich is at 22%)

        Mitt won both of these in 2008. I assume that Mitt still has pretty good organizations in both states, which is key to caucuses. I wonder how well organized Santorum is. I believe PPP does its polling via robocalls and has been off in earlier primaries. Also, it would seem polling for caucuses would be less accurate than for straight-up primaries. I don't understand the limited love for The Gingrich.

        I guess Missouri has a vote, but it has no effect on delegates and "they" say Santorum will do well there. Sounds like it is more like the Iowa Straw Poll than the caucuses being held the same day.
        Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

          Winning two states in one day would definitely be a big boost in perception for Santorum, even if it doesn't have an effect on delegate count.

            Minnesota could be a real barn-burner, just like Iowa. You'll probably want to be here to follow my analysis as the results come in.

              Why is Santorum doing so well in Minnesota?

                What analysis? Pretty much all I get from you is an incomplete recap of the Real Clear Politics polling page, most of the time without links. If you want to be this cycle's DJ Ross, it's time to step up the game.

                  Lots of politically active conservative evangelicals in the northern part of the state.

                    YOhio might have a point. LA Ute has already provided more MN analysis that MBN.
