Barrett: Romney takes teeth, sense of entitlement home in a glass

Conservatives just introduced the Republican establishment to the business end of a two-by-four, relegating Mitt Romney to bad second- and even third-place finishes in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri.

I doubt the establishment types noticed. They’re nothing if not out of touch. But it was a valuable exercise nonetheless.

Shades of a jaw-poppin’ began to appear shortly before the voting on Tuesday.

Like a panicked Sauron suddenly realizing Frodo had sneaked past him into the volcano where the ring of power could be destroyed, Romney frantically shifted his attacks at the last minute to Rick Santorum.

But in vain.
