Fox News & CNN are projecting Romney wins MD in their banners.

Santorum wasn't on the DC ballot.

As always, projected winners are based on a combination of exit polls and analysis of the precincts that are in.

99.9999999999999999% of network projected winners win. Everyone remembers Florida in 2000 but that was very much the exception.

Romney will win in the densely-populated areas, and the totals there will come in slowest, and for the 80 billionth time, because it’s close and then Romney pulls away morons will assert fake votes were “held back” to rig the election.

Just out of curiousity, how does prayer change votes that are already submitted?

Maybe so, but the problem is finding said conservative. In a land full of career politicians who don't want to rock the boat (doesn't that sound like a movie trailer?) where can we find an American patriot who's willing to call out the GOP establishment?

I literally can't think of a single person, not even Sarah Palin. I respected Rand Paul until he said it would be an honor to be considered as Romney's VP. Pat Toomey is thankfully NOT endorsing Romney, but we don't need someone who can keep his mouth shut; we need someone who will keep it open.

I do believe Rick Santorum is in a position to perhaps slimly win WISCONSIN tonight.

Sorry, Santorum already lost Wisconsin.

Wrong. 1) I have been here longer than you. Since at least 1997 or 1998 - my earlier id from college has been lost but I know I was here at that time.

I have NEVER been pro-Romney.

Santorum guys like you are a bunch of cry babies. I don't support Santorum because this is a primary competition. I was for Palin and when she didn't run I was for Newt. Not everyone who doesn't support Santo is a Romney troll, you big dope.

Your state also has the Combine. Thus, there was no doubt that Romney would win IL.

It is looking good in WISCONSIN. In counties with high incomes (where Romney tends to do the best), Santorum is beating Romney (I see something like a six to six county lead split for either Rick or Mitt right now, a real nail biter), and the central blue collar corrider areas north and south (Fox Valley) of the state, which should be solid Santorum, have yet to report. It is still at about 40% to 40%, with Romney slightly over Santorum. It will seesaw, but we can hope these rural areas come in and push Senator Santorum up and over Romney for a win in Wisconsin. Would not that be something. Break out the cheese and the brats. And on to Pennsylvania! (Newt, at low double digits or mostly single digits these days, please, please, ally or otherwise get out please and endorse the anti-Romney left, take one for the CONSERVATIVE TEAM...you are a good man and I know you would do it).

Oh Boy I hope FOX NEWS has to retract WISCONSIN later and eat a nice fastidious cr*p sandwich with cheddar cheese on top, and Karl Rove would have to check himself in for uncontrollable eye twitching.

Will never forget Reagan. I was so proud to be a republican and so proud of America..we only have the memory now. It is the end of an era. I am losing faith.

If you study the county-by-county totals it is obvious Romney has won:

http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/primaries/county/table/r/wi

You’ll note that there are counties with a lot of votes in, where Romney has a big lead, with a small % of votes counted, like Kenosha, Ozaukee, and of course Milwaukee.

So Mitt will pull away in about 2 hours from now of counting. Evidence that it’s not “rigged” is that the percentages in the big counties for each candidate won’t change, their vote totals will just increase changing the overall vote %.

I will not vote for him either. Any chance we could organize a massive write in? All of the fearful Anybody But Obama folks will start flaming us here. Well I will not continue, year after year to vote for the likes of Romney or Juan McCain. They can listen to the vote, or they can cease to exist as a party. The most detrimental parts of Obamacare start in the next Presidency and who knows what else, might as well let him look like a bigger liar and theif. Shore up congress and make him impotent.. that would be pure eeevil. His radical left positions are getting more difficult to defend by experience. I do not fear BO. This country was founded by One greater and it isn’t going anywhere by a mere man’s design. I get tired of the chicken little folks running around saying we must vote for Romney. I read Reagan’s Bold Colors transcript as suggested by a Freeper because my husband is in the fearful camp. He gets really angry that I will write in a Candidate. He says it’s a vote for Obama.. I say I am a voice in the wilderness.

You know we’ve been bullied by Alinsky methods from our own side, from Romney and several of his minions here on FR plus millions of others out their who demand the results they want.

It’s not over unless we give up, really. I’m not just trying to make anyone feel better. We can get to an open convention if we start thinking positively, campaign for Rick, and STOP ROMNEY!

Let’s recognize the manipulation and fight back before it really is too late.

It started with George H.W. reverting to moderate default position after Reagan left. Then in 2000, the Repubican Elite and Media telling us that sonny boy, “W”, was to be the coronated one next, no questions asked, thank you very much. Then they have since tried to shove Jeb Bush down our throats, Romney is just a variation of that. Yep, the Republican Party quite frankly has it within their capability of committing abject political suicide over these moderate nominees who will beat the crap out of conservatives in the primaries and then go all velvet glove on Democrat Dictators in the general (”Me Too!”), so as to not offfffffffffffend anyone. We see where that got us with McCain, and his/their handcuffing of Sarah Palin.

It's a shame that this has to be explained over and over and over again. Yet no matter how many times one points out how this works, the conspiracy theorists will still claim its all rigged.

CBS called it as well. I think it’s a bit premature, but probably a foregone conclusion.

YEP!!! Sucks to live here, but I don't want to move hehe. I guess living around freaks is an interesting life.

But I just donated to Scott Walker, and I was thinking since the recall is in June all the drug addict college students will be back at home with mommy and daddy.

I know a huge portion of the student body at Marquette in Milwaukee are out of state students.

No. It is to pray that GOP Romney Party Hacks don't stuff the ballot boxes during counting to widen the gap. That's just for starters.

The other is spiritual time/space continuim. God reads into the future. He sees prayers which are to occur (future tense), and if so honored by that, can help apply it (the supplication retroactively) to any situation, even one which has already occurred in the past. That is what faith is all about, it knows no limitations in a time perspective. In fact, there are a lot of things to pray about these days. Such as the Supreme Court vote, I could go on and on.

The problem with your side is, you were warned that supporting Santorum would guarantee a Romney win. Well, guess what?..............

Exactly. Santo and his crew were warned of this after SC to get out to make it a two person race. Some folks have to learn the hard way.
