“Since Iowa, where Santorum campaigned for a year to win the caucuses by two dozen votes, Romney has ruled the Midwest.”


Last I checked, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota and Kansas are all Midwestern states, and all held primaries or caucuses after Iowa did. On February 7, Santorum shellacked Romney in the MN caucuses (beating him 45%-17%) and absolutely lambasted Romney in the MO primary (by 55%-25%, and winning every county!). Santorum trounced Romney in the ND caucuses by 40%-24% on Super Tuesday, and then clobbered Romney in KS by 51%-21%.

And while Romney did win Illinois by a good margin (12%), he barely eked out narrow pluralities over Santorum in Ohio (by 3%) and in his “home state” of Michigan (by 1%).

So, after Iowa, Santorum has beat Romney in landslides in 4 Midwestern states, while Romney has won comfortably in 1 Midwetsern state and won very narrowly in two others.

Yet Romney has “ruled the Midwest”? I don’t think Mr. Malcom knows of what he speaks.

Republican Candidates could improve their Primary vote count by campaigning with the following idea:

Due to the FHA, Fannie and Freddie Bankruptcies of September, 2008, American home owners lost 30 % of the value of their homes. That is a 30 % cut in just one month. Home values are still down 30 %.

Thus, let us cut the total compensation to all elected Federal politicians, and their staffs by 30 %, and an additional 10 % cut to elected Federal politicians each year until Federal Spending is LESS THAN the average of the previous 2 years of Federal income.

BTW, since slightly less than half of the US House, and 2/3 of the US Senate are Millionaires, it will be a great opportunity for Congress to lead by example that EVERYONE should give up their “fair” share of the American Dream.

What better way can there be to demonstrate that Federal politicians are on the same page as the voters?
