Santorum came in second, followed by Ron then Newt. Total votes for non-Romney close to for-Romney
Hope Romney's paying attention.
I went in about 7:30, I was the only one there. Can’t believe Romney got that much. Too many people just giving up.
No, not particularly. 57% for Willard, 43% for someone else. That really isn't particularly close.
Newt losing nearly 2-1 to a candidate not even in the race anymore.
Here’s the Pennsylvania breakdown:
Coal mine owner Tom Smith is the GOP nominee. I don’t know what he stands for, but he has a huge campaign treasury.
District 4: state Rep. Scott Perry won easily. Many conservative rooted for York Cnty. Commissioner Chris Reilly, who finished second place. Perry seems OK, though.
District 12: In an incumbent-vs.-incumbent race between Dems, Mark Critz narrowly defeated Jason Altmire with the help of Big Labor, who disliked Altmire’s opposition to ObamaCare and other Obama priorities. The general election could go either way.
District 17: Blue Dog incumbent Tim Holden was defeated by liberal Matt Cartwright, a high-ranking member of the Trial Lawyers Association who attacked Holden’s occasional dissent from his party’s progressive agenda. This is a safely ‘Rat district.
Congrats to Rick Santorum. Oh, to have you back....
I hate to say it, but Newt just can’t seem to cut the mustard. Even after pulling out of active campaigning, Rick Santorum got almost twice as many votes as Newt.
I’d be happy to see Newt pull ahead, but he just doesn’t seem to be doing it. And I will not vote for that scum Romney, under any circumstances. He is not quite as bad as Obama, but he comes too close for comfort.
At this point, the primaries should be considered a wash, and conservatives should seriously consider presidential politics outside of the GOP.
The good news we got a decent candidate in the Senate race.
Romney carried by 86,582 over combind “conservatives” that is pretty decisive. What the final will be still shows the conservative message didn’t get out. Romney is not going to move right. It’s going to be sameo-sameo and very very little change in policy direction. If Romney takes it we’ill be lucky if Obamacarte gets tossed let alone the changes in EPA or the other misdirected course the country is on.
