For Romney, Night Goes from Bad to Worse DENVER, COLORADO - It was just one of those nights. When Mitt Romney took the stage Tuesday night in Denver to deliver what his aides had hoped would be his victory speech, the results in Colorado were still too close to call, though Rick Santorum had already snagged both Minnesota and Missouri. But from the moment Mr. Romney stepped to the podium, flanked by two tele-prompters, even he knew that he was not having a good day. He noted how energetic the small crowd was, and gamely mentioned that even though they were much fewer than the "2,800″ folks who had gathered to cheer him on at Arapahoe High School Monday night, they were still an enthusiastic bunch. And he acknowledged that while Colorado was still "too close" to call, he expected to place "number one or number two." In fact, Mr. Romney placed second here, and Mr. Santorum will pull ahead in the overall state count, with four (Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, and Missouri) to Mr. Romney's three (New Hampshire, Florida, and Nevada). Mr. Romney congratulated Mr. Santorum for a "good night" but said he intends to become his party's presidential nominee despite his losses in Tuesday's contests. Mr. Romney did not dwell on the losses or shift his attention too long to Mr. Santorum or his other Republican rivals. Instead, he focused most of his attention - as he usually does - on President Obama. Quoting promises that he said Mr. Obama made in Denver during the Democratic convention in 2008, Mr. Romney repeatedly said Mr. Obama had failed to deliver. "Under his own definition, President Obama has failed, we will succeed," Mr. Romney said repeatedly. Things didn't get better as the evening wore on. As he left the stage, Mr. Romney was "glitter-bombed," by a young man who was quickly hustled away by a combination of police officers and Secret Service agents.
