Rick Santorum Wins Louisiana Primary, Continuing His Southern Sweep
ABC News ^ | 03/24/2012

Posted on 03/24/2012 6:24:10 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

ABC News projects that Rick Santorum will win the Louisiana Republican primary.

Exit polls indicated that Louisiana’s primary saw a high turnout of voters who identified as very conservative — a group that has typically favored Santorum. Also helping Santorum was a high turnout of religious voters — nearly two-thirds of voters in today’s primary said that they go to church at least once a week.

Santorum has so far performed very well in the South, winning primaries in Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Tennessee. He was favored to carry Louisiana. Recent polling showed him with a comfortable lead over the rest of the GOP field heading into the contest.

The win may give Santorum a boost in momentum heading into the next slate of contests, which will take place in Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington, D.C., on April 3, however, it is unlikely that he will pick up a large slate of delegates here.

I see. So in the (unlikely) event he goes up against Obama, it will be because the south still hearts slavery.

I didn’t follow Drudge when Romney won Illinois and Puerto Rico. Was that news prominently displayed then?

That wasn’t exactly unexpected.

Anything that cuts into the Mittwit’s lead.

Best guess is it’s going to be a brokered convention with a slim but dedicated majority opposing Romney. It’s time for him to get out of the race so Republicans can unify behind a candidate.

Drudge has it posted now. Drudge also used a picture above the story of Ministers praying over Rick /Santorum! You can be sure Drudge used this picture to give the impression that LA GOP voters and Christians are a bunch of nuts!

Drudge is disgusting! I guess the queer has a certain amount of anger towards Christians. What's wrong Matt...upset we Christians find your attraction for men and the practice of sodomy sinful and disgusting?

Drudge is for RINOS!

Oh, and I could give a Rats Rear-End if Drudge is Mark Levin’s friend. I grow weary of Mark defending him!

This just in! The Republican Party has decided to eject Louisiana voters from the party since they are too dumb to follow the Party Establishment's Directives.

Only Louisiana? What about the other states that went for Santorum or Gingrich?
