The Fat Lady sings. This is now all over except for the curtain close. A divided anti-Romney vote has brought us this catastrophe and Le Resistance to Romney is now on the ropes.
Eric Ericksson of Red States says on CNN, that Romney has now wrapped it.
Cook and Lake are 50+ percent in.
Nothing’s from downstate.
For now. He is never going to win in November. I dare the GOP-e to call me for a financial contribution.
Reminds me of McCain beating Hayworth in AZ
McCain spent $21,600,000.00
Hayworth $ 1,560,000.00
In Illinois Newt would not have mattered. Combined Rick+Newt votes would still lose to Mittens if Newt hangs around 7%. However in southern states such as MS & AL it mattered for obvious reasons. It looks like in IL anyway, Newt did not campaign and his share did not all go to Rick.
Poser backstabber at work:
"I bet you $10,000 I can glue this thing on the roof
of my wifes second Cadillac."
Not the way I was hoping to see this play out when we had a full debate stage of candidates, but dang it, come November I am still an Anybody But Obama voter. Sending that disrespectful America-hating A-hole back to Chicago is still and must remain the Prime Directive
If Romney is going to win the nomination, I want him to start winning decisively. Because I am not a RINO, my number one priority is replacing Obama with whoever wins the Republican nomination.
At the moment, adding Gingrich and Santorum together does not beat Romney. This is the first time in a while that the combined Santorum/Gingrich vote didn’t beat Romney.
Now, the combined Ron Paul/Santorum vote would beat Romney. But Ron Paul isn’t combining with Santorum.
And it’s not like Santorum did poorly, he got about where his polls were. It’s that all the late-breaking support went to Romney. That’s not a good thing.
