SANTORUM SCORES A STUNNING SWEEP OF MISSOURI, MINNESOTA, AND COLORADO............

Upsetting the current conventional wisdom and Republican Establishment desire that Mitt Romney is the one most likely to be the 2012 Presidential Nominee, the Missouri Primary, and the Minnesota and Colorado Caucuses tonight, he lost - in a clean sweep by Rick Santorum.  Santorum vying for the past few months to be seen as the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney, and tonight can credibly claim that position.  In Missouri and Minnesota, Santorum defeated Roimney in double digits; and in Colorado, he seems to have won a three or four percentage vote victory.  With eight states in the nominating process completed, Santorum has won 4 - Iowa; Missouri; Minnesota; Colorado;  Romney with0 3 - New Hampshire; Florida; Nevada;  Gingrich having 1 - South Carolina; and Paul - 0.  Saturday brings the Maine Caucuses, and in the last days of February, the Arizona Primary and the Michigan Caucuses............Fr.  Troy
