Romney just canceled plans for a Minneapolis rally tonight - will look better if he loses

to have not been there. Or maybe he didn't want his venue compared to Ron's. Or maybe he thinks despite his mega lead in Colorado, his time is truly better spent there, who knows?

Unfortunately, Grinch cancelled rallies due to poor attendance, and that didn't hurt his numbers any... Mitt is probably just focusing on where he can win most convincingly, like Colorado... So I wouldn't take too much comfort in his event cancellations.

I'm glad the national front runner are paying less attention to it. He will get a lot of people who watch Fox News and other national media. Rick Santorum is polling very well in MN and hopefully takes from them. Looks like it's going to be a 4 man race... so we could get last or first.

Unfortunately, RS is also polling well in Missouri which is the same day, and where grass roots are essentially carrying the ball for us.

He won't do abysmally again until Maine.
