Is The GOP Race Over?

Does anyone know, is there an over/under number in Vegas on Romney's IQ?

You know I hate prohibiting things, even worse so when government does this, but since elections are a government's party, there's a rule applied in other countries that wouldn't be so bad here: no poll results publication allowed a couple of days before an election, and no exit polls allowed until a specific time after voting has ended. It's just adding rules to a government's game anyway.

I realize, these standards are now deprecated:

Exit polls are nothing more than a jobs program for the pollish.

Any truth to the rumor that he's going to go all Elvis on us, and start handing out Cadillacs to randomly chosen individuals? Edited: Good to hear slightly above average. Didn't want a moron (IQ in 50-75 range) getting any sort of nomination. Not is this country.

I'm unaware of a president having a low IQ. I'm not sure why it matters since IQ doesn't really measure anything, and a smarter president doesn't necessarily make a better one.

The media created Santorum, awhile back, as the best-case-scenario for Obama's opponent.  If they hadn't it would have been very interesting to see how the crossover vote would have worked for Paul in Michigan.  Had independents and democrats come out to vote on civil liberty issues and foreign policy issues instead of for shenanigans it might have been interesting.  Oh wait... what am I saying?  I'm giving democrat voters way too much credit for independent thought.

Zero the hero?

I mean, clearly at zero Romney was leading the pack over all the rest who were getting zero.  What the hell is the matter with you?

Anyway Mitt done himself proud and won the state sort of shaped like his name.  And got Azirona which may be shaped like his head or something.
