I was speaking with a guy in Vernon Hills who’s pretty conservative. He said that he used to like Santorum, until he heard a robocall that said Santorum voted for Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court.
I explained to him that Santorum wasn’t even in the Senate when Sotomayor was nominated by Obama, and that Santorum’s vote for Sotomayor was in the 1990’s to be a district judge, not Supreme Court justice in 2009. He didn’t like being deceived by Romney, but said it didn’t matter anyway, because the race for the nomination is over.
This is why Democrats keep winning in Illinois.
That’s why Illinois should be worth about 9 delegates instead of 69. As long as the state awards electoral votes according to who wins Cook County big, the defacto result of winner take all, then the GOP should cut their delegate count down to their relevance in presidential elections.
I've had probably 25 Romney calls in the last week versus maybe 4 Santorum calls.
Romney is spending money like a liberal.
