With Mitt Romney taking the lead in almost all of the previous primaries and polls, including some biggies like Florida, Colorado, Michigan, and Virginia, who would have thought that Rick Santorum would come out on top in the latest Pennsylvania primary?

  Santorum has won the Missouri primary and the Minnesota caucus, with Romney trailing closely behind. 

  Santorum has been trampled by the other GOP candidates and has repeatedly come out dead last in caucuses and polls. Could we be witnessing a flip flop in the republican favorites? Newt Gingrich, who hasn’t won any primaries thus far but has been one step behind Mitt Romney the whole way, has now taken Rick Santorum’s seat in last place. 

According to CNN, Romney has been open about Newt Gingrich’s campaign, saying that Gingrich should really re-think his campaign. Romney and Gingrich have been at each other’s throats during debates, but is Gingrich the real threat to Romney? With Santorum coming out of the rafters, Romney may be focusing his attacks on Santorum instead. 

With Super Tuesday coming up on March 6th, the GOP representatives are kicking their campaigns into gear. 437 delegates will be at stake that day.

Instead of getting ready for Winter Ball, you could always choose to stay home and watch the Washington caucus unfold on March 3rd.
