Poser backstabber at work:
"I bet you $10,000 I can glue this thing on the roof
of my wife’s second Cadillac."

No link yet. I'm just seeing it on CNN. Reuters said Fox called it as well.
Here's your chance, RINO sleepers! Hope you are happy with yourselves.
via WLS “Quotes from Illinois Primary Voters”:
“If a frog was running against Obama, I’d vote for the frog.” - Richard Zellers, 66, retiree from St. Joseph who voted for former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
This is typical of how the Liberal RINO's win; they can't carry the Conservative voters, they carry the parasites.
If I recall correctly, Santorum was not on the ballot in six congressional districts in IL.
Come on. Be honest. You don’t believe that Santorum bears any responsibility in this?
I am not a big fan of Romney but am now ready to crawl across broken glass to vote for him. The longer Republicans spend time talking about birth control instead of the economy and our debt, the more likely obama is to be reelected. These primaries need to end.

Krauthammer just said that he believes the ticket will be Romney/Rubio.
I agree. I am very suspicious of people who went from thread to thread every day simply bashing Santorum. Some attacked him with such fervor that it’s as if he did something personal to them. They claimed they supported Gingrich, but Gingrich is conservative, so why bash a conservative man like Santorum just because he was doing better in the polls?
Santorum failed to qualify for delegates in four of Illinois’ 18 congressional districts, meaning he is only eligible to win 44 of the state’s 54 delegates.
It can’g be!
The trees are not the right size.
That pretty much says it all.
As the candidate he does, as does the MSM, as does the Romney campaign who have run an epically negative campaign so far, as does the establishment GOP supporting Romney.
As do all the political neophytes who spent the last couple of months bashing him at every turn on internet forums. They're doing their little part, too.
At least my conscience is clean.
Instead of whining, why don't you name names? Accuse them directly of being a Romney-bot.
Not a surprise that liberal/”moderate” Romney won in the state that elected Obama.
Bret Baier just said Santorum failed to qualify in 10 districts.
I will not vote for Romney if he is the nominee.
I’m curious too. Name names.
It’s not going to be Rubio. It is going to be Susana Martinez. She is seen as less controversial by the GOP-E and she appeals to more demographics (Mexican Hispanics and women).
Rubio MAY-—MAY get a cabinet post. But that’s it.
Because Santorum is an idiot and Gingrich is not.
I sincerely believe JR will not go there.
But, I do agree, although I'd get great satisfaction out of being banned instead of resigning.
I heard that the Newt delegates from those CD's said they'd be Rick's delegates too if he won there.
“If I recall correctly, Santorum was not on the ballot in six congressional districts in IL.”
He wasn’t on the ballot in my district.
Try not to panic. Ok, which primary is next? Is Illinois proportional or winner take all?
What do we have left?
Newt had to know this was coming.
What was the vote split?
Levin was on saying turnout was PITIFUL. Way to go GOP!
““The problem is that Romney is a little too liberal for the Republican base. But that’s the only way you can win. You’ve got to get the independents.” - Norm Jay, 78, from Wheaton who voted for Romney.”
Thinking a ?moderate? Republican can win the General, is a misconception that some people make.
I wish I could ask them how did McCain do in 2008? McCain was the nominee because of the Independent and Dem votes in the early Open primaries, but it didn’t help him win the presidency..
ah, I see.
And yet for all the brilliance that Newt supposedly has, he never figured out how to campaign for the “idiot” voters, who it appears clearly now make up a majority of the Republican Party.
It’s time to admit the obvious. Conservatism is in the minority. Even if we make up 40% and liberals make up 21%, the squishy 39% of Moderates that don’t want to be called “liberal” are still liberals.
It’s ridiculous. The GOP under the current nominating rules will never be able to elect a conservative...again. The moderate/RINO will always out perform in the cities and suburbia, then get crushed in the same areas in the General Election.
According to them, if you supported Newt, you are a secret Romney supporter, pretending to take down Saint Rick to help Newt.
But really,.........They all know your REAL motive, the super secret plot to get Romney elected all along. The accusations are beginning to flow like Spring sewage already!
So true. Sort of surprised the moderator allowed the continual negative toxic comments from these guys, horrible. Probably did their share of damage on various boards. People can only take so much of that crap and they give up.
“This is typical of how the Liberal RINO’s win; they can’t carry the Conservative voters, they carry the parasites”
Romney supported bailing out Wall Street. I wonder how many of his rich buddies contributed to his pac?
Rubio is a Romney in training; i.e. flexible as circumstances require, and I think Krauthammer has correctly predicted this most predictable outcome. I'll go back to sleep now.
The way you do this is you hold your base and peel off one of the other party's factions.
Currently the YOUTH VOTE is up for grabs. Bammy had it. He blew it. They haven't had employment for the last four years.
They are NOT looking for Leftwingtard solutions, and that's all Romney has to offer.
Romney demonstrated a decided inability to draw in the Republican base.
As in Virginia, they stayed away from the primary. Just didn't go there.
It is entirely possible that Romney is the ONLY Republican candidate who can't actually beat Obama.
Newt is a lazy and weak campaigner who had little going for him other than a few debates. He has not run a good campaign, picks and chooses states(wow, whatta fighter)and he is also broke.
Couple that with a seedy reputation and it is easy to see why he went nowhere.
Talk about an idiot.
Your both right Rombet and Paulbots have been astroturfing for a long time using Newt as their cover .
I hope you’re right.
Priebus has let us all down. We need him out of there ~ NOW!
I’m familiar with the argument, and aware that accusations are flying. Very silly. Rick’s demise has nothing to do with “Newt supporters that are really closet Romney supporters”. He is a deeply flawed candidate. He’s had more Doh! moments than I can ever remember any candidate having.
LOL! “Venting” a bit, are we? I hardly think that attacking Newt matters a whole lot, and Newt certainly could care less what you think about him.
He will do quite well after this election, in various ways.

You’d better back up your talk here. Your main squeeze Romney cannot get a majority of conservative votes if he were to stand on his head. HE is and WILL BE the weak candidate in the general election and his candidacy will go down like the Hindenberg.
But fellows/gals like you just never seem to learn ... always gotta run with the RINOS. Idiocy is doing the same thing twice, yet expecting a different outcome.
It may shape up that way, it seems. Possibly Romney/Ryan.
No Hispanics!
As much as I dislike Romney, I would perhaps vote for him given the alternative. No money from me though.
Likewise, voting in other races in the general election is crucial to trim Obama coat tails.
Romney is a dyed-in-the-wool flat-out stinkin’ to high heaven liberal.
As Senator Everett Dirksen (R -IL)once said, “If the voters are given a choice between a democrat and a democrat, they will always chose the democrat.” So, that would put Obama as the winner, Romney the loser.
Levin just said a little bit ago that Romney has a real problem because it isn’t like his winning in blue states is some big accomplishment. He was never NOT going to win the POS state I live in. It’s too far gone liberal. But he only barely wins in red states. His machine has spent too much money attacking other Republican nominees and not enough trying to connect with conservatives. The reason...IMO because he isn’t one.
I am worried that this same vicious underhanded-ness will not translate to attacking Obama when he becomes the nominee. THAT is when he will really need it.
I have never liked Romeny and like him SO MUCH less now. But, if he picks a strong and I mean STRONG VP running mate, that will be his only saving grace.
I read today that vile Mittens has the all time lowest approval rating of either party leading candidate in modern history.!
This creature has literally fire bombed the GOP base and is hated by majority of the GOP thanks to the ugliest primary campaign in my life time .
He is the Dems dream come true .
Obamacare is a non issue which will help all the Dem House and Senate candidates and do us cap & trade that evil Mittens will ram thru just like the Marxist .
What is interesting to note, is all the Gingrich voters (about 10%) who went over to Romney and even Paul. A fair number of Santo voters also went to Romney. (Or Paul)
Why are you insulting Newt?
I know you’re disappointed your guy lost tonight .... but pull it together.
hope you like Kelly Ayotte then. NH is what he is aiming to get to 270.
