Quickies

• Romney had a good night.
• According to the delegate count, Newt should dropout now.  And After Super Tuesday Santorum should too.
• Despite what Rick Santorum says about gas prices causing the housing bubble burst, facts and reality prove him completely wrong.
• A quick reminder, again, that Barack Obama is a great campaigner.  It's true Republicans have a very short memory, and it's true they lie about history all the time and create false fantasy worlds to reconcile their disregard for facts, but have Republicans really forgotten that he draws extremely large crowds and raises money like no one in the history of American politics?  The quick answer is yes they have forgotten.  They refuse to believe it actually.  They think the crowds are brought in by busing in homeless people and paying people to show up.  They also think his campaign is financed by one person and one person alone, George Soros. They're insane.

• Sean Trende at Real Clear Politics says Romney's good night increases the chances of a brokered convention and means the race will drag on for a couple more months before Santorum, Paul and Gingrich drop out.  Let's remember, I've been wrong about this whole primary so anyone's guess is better than mine.
