The most alarming part of Mitt's performance in Tuesday's contests is the drop in support for Romney compared to four years ago... like losing almost half his voters in Colorado, with less dramatic drops in Minnesota and Missouri!

Even more surprising, Rick Santorum and his low-budget campaign won without spending much money or time in those states. The stunning losses plainly show Romney is having great difficulty winning over conservatives and make his path toward the Republican nomination more challenging.

Mitt Romney lost all three of Tuesday's primaries to Rick Santorum - including Colorado, which will be a critical swing state in November.

It is a significant defeat for front-runner Mitt Romney, who took 60% of the vote in the Colorado’s 2008 nominating contest. John McCain, the eventual nominee, won just 18%.

Colorado is among the battleground states up for grabs in the general election. Obama won the state in 2008 with 54% of the vote compared to McCain’s 45%.

I think it's a mistake for Mitt to be trying to coast to the nomination on platitudes. Much better to play offense and make serious, substantive proposals so voters get a sense that there's a person underneath the presidential pose.

Charles Krauthammer explains why he thinks the Obama regime will have to cave on its decision to oppress religious freedom.

It's an assault on the church and the good works that it does, and it doesn't respect that a church isn't only what happens in prayer... it has to practice its faith.

Other elements will gather and the administration in the end is going to have to cave on this.

Lefty writer/commentator Mark Shields is one of the outraged over the White House policy that would force Catholic organizations to offer contraception on health policies for workers - and Andrea Mitchell is amazed to find a fellow liberal opposing the president.

The fallout is cataclysmic for the White House and for the President. And he's left them out to dry. I mean he really has.  Just a policy that I think is, quite frankly, indefensible.

There are many others.

Former Democratic congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper, a Catholic from Erie, Pennsylvania, cast a crucial vote in favor of Obamacare in 2010. She lost her seat that November in part because of her controversial support of Obamacare.

But Dahlkemper said recently that she would have never voted for the health care bill had she known that the Department of Health and Human Services would require all private insurers, including Catholic charities and hospitals, to provide free coverage of contraception, sterilization procedures, and the "week-after" pill "ella" that can induce early abortions.
