Open Thread: Santorum, Romney Split Alabama, Mississippi, Hawaii
Three states voted yesterday in the GOP presidential primary with Rick Santorum winning the states of Alabama and Mississippi and Mitt Romney winning Hawaii.

Politico's Alex Burns: Voters Are 'Forrest Gump-like', Lack 'Most Basi
Alex Burns of Politico has developed a bad case of Peter Jennings Syndrome, right down to accusing the voters of a "tantrum-like response" directed at Obama on gas prices.

Our transparently feminist media are currently cranking their hyperbole machines in their War on Limbaugh. They are reporting – chortling, really – that Republicans have a huge problem with women voters.
