Ron Paul & Rick Santorum Whine About Mitt Romney's Victory At CPAC & Maine

After Rick Santorum sweeps Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota, Mitt Romney gets his momentum back with some big victories that he wasn't expected to win in:

At CPAC, the former Massachusetts governor nabbed 38 percent of activists’ support to edge out Rick Santorum, who finished second with 31 percent.

In Maine, he won by just three points, 39 percent to Paul’s 36 percent. Santorum trailed in third with 18 percent, and Newt Gingrich received 6 percent of the vote.

Like Newt Gingrich after suffering at loss at the ballot, Rick Santorum is upset about Mitt Romney's victory at CPAC: 

When CNN's "State of the Union" host Candy Crowley said she was surprised Santorum didn't do better with party conservatives, he shot back: "Well, you know, those straw polls at CPAC... for years Ron Paul has won those because he trucks in a lot of people, pays for their tickets, and they come in and vote and they leave. We didn't do that, we don't do that. i don't try to rig straw polls."

Did Romney rig CPAC?

"You have to talk to the Romney campaign and how many tickets they bought, we've heard all sorts of things," Santorum said.

"We didn't pay them to turn out," he added, speaking of his supporters at CPAC, Missouri and elsewhere.

Of course, Mitt Romney dismissed Santorum's accusations:

“Rick Santorum has a history of making statements that aren’t grounded in the truth," said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul.

"Yesterday Mitt Romney won the CPAC straw poll and won a separate nationwide survey of conservatives conducted by CPAC  organizers. Also, Mitt Romney won the Maine caucuses. Conservative voters recognize that in order to change Washington, we need someone who isn't a creature of Washington.”

Ron Paul is also unhappy with his loss and which is why its not surprising he's come up with a conspiracy theory as to why they lost in Maine:

The Paul campaign had tried to lower expectations somewhat during the day, alleging that the Romney campaign had been involved in some tricky business, and predicting that the results would be very close.

In particular, a senior Paul aide had suggested that the Romney campaign was involved in the cancellation of Washington County’s caucuses, a small county where Paul’s campaign had expected to do well. “It’s not completely insidious, but they knew we were going to swamp it up there,” said Paul campaign chairman Jesse Benton.

As a result, Ron Paul is refusing to refusing to accept the results that Romney won that state's caucus.

In this election, we have seen three men who are aspiring to the highest office of the land acting like children who are upset when they lose an election. If Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul continue to whine whenever they lose an election, they will drive away voters into supporting Mitt Romney who is the only mature and responsible adult in this election.
