Glad to see that a Romney win brings you such pleasure.

I believe that was sarcasm.

So, what happened? You guys told us Lil' Ricky was the bona fide savior of Conservatism, that his indelibly perfect moral nature would make him impervious to Romney's smear machine… yet it looks like Romney is kicking his teeth in.

Since you’re not backing Romney, and you’re not backing Santorum, you’re backing Paul?

I can understand the frustration.

yet it looks like Romney is kicking his teeth in.

In Illinois, which neither is going to win in November anyway. It's the Land of BO, and the corrupt Chicago machine, along with a host of radical groups which originated there, but have gone nationwide.

This is a just a reflection of the politics of Illinois, having very little to do with the "he said, he said" of the immediate campaign. It will affect the delegate count though, but Illinois is not a winner take all state, in fact the voters vote directly for 54 of 69 delegates, the other 15 are to be picked by the party convention in June. So you'd have to look at the distribution of those "preferences" If a candidate's support is concentrated in a few districts, he could actually end up with a lower percentage of the delegates than of the popular vote for the candidate.
