Mitt Romney may be working hard to cement his frontrunner status, but today’s races show the other GOP candidates are not going down without a fight. And once again, many of you are not convinced of Romney’s electability or even the GOP field in general. More of your thoughts posted below.

Voters in Colorado and Minnesota will choose their nominee today to challenge President Obama in November, while a non-binding primary is taking place in Missouri. Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney is looking to build off his wins in Florida and Nevada, but is trailing Rick Santorum in the polls in Minnesota.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul is hoping Minnesota gives him his first win of the presidential campaign. Meanwhile, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich didn't campaign in either state, choosing instead to look ahead to contests elsewhere. 70 delegates are at stake tonight. How closely are you following the race?

Will wins by Mitt Romney solidify his position as the presumptive Republican nominee, or just give him bragging rights? Which candidate is in the best position to challenge President Obama? How will a long primary season affect the GOP's chances in November? What issues do you want the Presidential candidates to address?

Send your thoughts using the link above.

Ron Paul is the one of the few candidates who runs on what he believes in and not what the poll of the day tells him to believe.

Mitt (out of touch) Romney will be the eventual nominee of the GOP, and if the economy continues to improve he will lose big time to President (no drama) Obama.

Bishop Romney has more swiss bank accounts than the Swiss. Who do you want to answer that 3am phone call that we're mabye under attack from a foreign power or something that requires a measured response as well as competency. The answer should be obvious and that is why none of these GOP aspirants can beat him. With Romney a network of servants would answer the call and decide whether to wake the betcha $10k man who has demonstrated a great capacity for empathy and comic relief. When will the GOP become a National party?

What 70 delegates? None of the contests tonight have a DIRECT determination on the allocation of delegates in those three states, and Missouri's is specifically defined as a non-binding expression of voter preference. What was it, a slow news day?

Santorum claims to be a conservative and yet when his wife lost her last baby they slept with the baby in their bed and also brought the baby home so that the other children could see it and play with it. He also did the same thing that Gingrich did, he took payoffs and like everyone else he delivered when the time came. Ron Paul is to eccentric to please me. He starts out with normal suggestions and then he goes off the deep end and that if find very troublesome. Maybe Romney won't win this state but that's why they go through the process.

Santorum and Paul seem to me that they can not be trusted. I think that Romney is the best as of now. It's still also time for someone else to step in. This is a very good reason to stop the lengthy campaign and the money is also a problem to me because in the end we always end up with the wrong person. Also if Santorum and Paul didn't have the financial backing why bother to run again.

I’ll vote for anyone who can get Obama out of office. Thus, I will hold my nose and pull the lever either for Romney or Gingrich. I’d pull it for Ron Paul. He could defeat Obama in any debate, but he doesn’t have enough popular votes to defeat Obama.

I haven’t been happy with a president since Jefferson.

The Republican Primary season has revealed Mitt Romney to be a pretentious, selfish American phony. He and his children never served in the military, and by virtue of his low 13.9% tax rate proved he didn’t even support America in a time of war and crisis, while us working class stiffs picked up the bill.

Instead he supplies rhetoric about mom, apple pie and some shiny city on a hill with no substance while collecting big bucks. He destroyed companies while making money at the cost of US workers in the name of capitalism and individuality, he the beneficiary of his family’s fortune. Where is the pride and patriotism in that?

November is gonna be a cake walk for Obama who lives in a real world, not glossy fictional images devoid of reality.

Regarding the upcoming elections and judging each republican candidate by his record, opinions on very sensitive issues, character, and many other utmost traits that define the quintessential presidential persona, President Barack Obama stands alone.

This is really the top story??? I think the 48th anniversary of The Beatles landing at JFK is more news worthy than the Repulse-a-can race.

I want Gingrich to win just so we can leave our sick wives and unlearn the language of the ghetto while living on the dark side of the moon.

Oh, and have poor kids clean up after us so they can learn how to work.

There is no chance for republicans in 2012. They may capture white middle America, but the future of politics must connect to the young, black, Latino, and urban populations. The current GOP lineup, stretched by the far right Tea Party offers nothing to these populations. Much more interesting and exciting is what will happen in 2016? Hillary vs Mark Rubio?

Both parties are wrong. The Republicans are for the wealthy. The Democrats are for the poor. Most people are against using government's coercive power in support of the group they don't belong to but then want to use government's coercive power in favor of the group they do belong to. The true role of government is not to use its power in support of any particular group but to protect all INDIVIDUAL rights. A representative government does not mean representative of 1% or of 99% but of 100%.

I would like to see the president actually look into more the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Is not fair that the same rules or law is only being applied to heterosexual.

We have rights also in marrying who we love and wherever we love. We should be able to marry and apply for the K - Visa and follow the same law procedure as a heterosexual.

Love doesn't recognize age, country, color, etc. How would the president feel if one of there children turn out GAY?!.

How can any of the Republicans running for President be considered serious candidates when they all have platforms based on thoroughly ridiculous ideas? Mitt Romney is a market fundamentalist who explicitly wants rich people to get richer at the expense of the poor and middle class. Newt Gingrich is a Christian supremacist who is bigoted against Muslims. Rick Santorum is a homophobe who wants to outlaw abortion, birth control, and pornography. And Ron Paul wants to eliminate the departments of Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Commerce, Interior, and Education, as well as Health and Human Service, the IRS, and FEMA, essentially reducing much of the ability the federal government has to govern in the first place. Regardless of Obama's merits, all those Republicans' positions have substantial problems that should prevent any rational voter from giving them a second glance.

Nothing will improve in this country unless and until there is campaign finance reform. Elected officials, republican and democrat alike, only have allegience to the special interests that have paid for their services. And since they are the ones who would have to pass legislation for reform that it will never happen, because they benefit from it. I disagree with your guest that NYC has true campaign finance reform, because a candidate can opt out of it, like bloomberg who spent millions. We need to do it like england, where candidates get 3 weeks to campaign and are totally publicly funded.

I would love to see President Obama's complete evolution on Marriage Equality in light of today's ruling on Prop 8 in California and challenge his GOP opponent

If president Obama would have a green party oponent I will gladly support him. The republican candidates are useless. This country is too poor to afford a republican president, and the rich people are well enough and don't need more tax cuts and deregulation.
