The Race in Illinois Mitt Romney and his allies have pounded Rick Santorum on television and radio, especially in the expensive market of Chicago, where the suburban vote could prove decisive for Mr. Romney. Mr. Santorum was still hoping for a strong vote from downstate Illinois — abutting two states where he won, Iowa and Missouri — but his aides indicated that their hopes were fading in light of the heavy advertising campaign against him. Mr. Romney’s aides believe a comfortable victory could be at hand on Tuesday, but Mr. Santorum and the rest of the field showed no signs of stepping aside.

“Otherwise, we’re just handing it to 0bummer for another 4yrs of Misery & Hell.”

The we you are speaking of is the establishmentarians like Coulter,Rove,Fox News and a way to many supposed “conservative” radio talkshow host.
Oh, and don’t forget the sheeple who buy into the narative.

The ‘E team’ got the idea in people’s heads early that he was the only one with the money and the infrastrusture in place to win.
They constantly promoted him as the inevidible winner. Even when he wasn’t.
In the Newspaper after each primary Romney was almost always front page with a big picture of him smiling. While the other candidates got small stock photos off to the side.
Sometimes no photo at all.

I’m going to vote. Just not for Romney. NEVER FOR ROMNEY!!! Even in an illutionary representive democracy I will vote.

I will write in Palin Gingrich Cain or Mark Levin.

I lied. I would vote for Romney under one condition. He could somehow convince Sarah Palin to be his VP.

I don’t like to be all sour grapes if we lose, but I truly do not feel chicago’s elections can be trusted. They always come out the way the liberal machine wishes.
