The most ominous sign for the GOP might be the low turnout in Iowa after the Tea Party–driven enthusiasms of 2010. Roughly 123,000 of 640,000 registered Republicans in the state turned out to vote, along the lines of 2008, when dueling Democrats absorbed most of the electoral energy.
The biggest news was the biggest upset: Rick Santorum playing the role of Mike Huckabee [ed: remember him?] in the Iowa caucus, gaining late-breaking support from social conservatives and widespread desire for a conservative alternative to Mitt Romney.

Continued use of a title depends on the office: Offices of which there is only one at a time (e.g., President, Speaker, Governor, or Mayor) are only officially used by the current office holder. For example, The 34th President of the United States, Dwight Eisenhower reverted to his prior rank "General Eisenhower" in retirement.
Titles for offices of which there are many concurrent office holders (e.g., Ambassador, Senator, Judge, Professor or military ranks, especially Colonel and above) are retained for life: A retired US Army general is addressed as "General (Name)" officially and socially for the rest of his or her life.

I went digging. My sincerest apologies to Senator Santorum. No apology is necessary to Mr. Romney.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a defiant display of executive power, President Barack Obama on Wednesday will buck GOP opposition and name Richard Cordray as the nation's chief consumer watchdog even though the Senate contends the move is inappropriate, senior administration officials told The Associated Press

Shultz does seem to be on the Santorum train
(oh I did love the "can you believe this" look Sharpton threw at the camera)
Basically @WeGotEd has endorsed Santorum for the GOP nominee.

Quote by TriSec:
So, with Romney winning by a whopping 8 votes, NH should be a "gimme". If he takes SC after that, I'd say Rom-mentum would be his and it's all over at that point.
OTOH, if he can't win NH (which no MA presidential candidate has ever lost), then we'll see.

Good day everyone. If you were up really late, you could have seen Sam Seder on with Melissa-Harris Perry and Chris Hayes which give the insomniacs and night-owls something. I guess we can get more mileage out of those Santorum jokes.

So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of punishment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.

Not yet. Just keeping it in mind. Since I am reading this book on lyching, there is lots of discussion about "restoring the honor Southern womanhood from those over sexed negroes." as a justification for lynching.
