Mitt Romney won the Republican primary in Wisconsin Tuesday night, after earlier sweeping primaries in Maryland and the District of Columbia, Fox News projects. The big night for Romney does serious damage to chief rival Rick Santorum’s underdog campaign while adding significantly to the front-runner's already imposing lead.

The “purists” NEVER understand how ridiculous they sound. It’s a cult of self, and how others perceive it is just beyond their ability to comprehend. If caring about others, much less what others thought, was a priority then we wouldn’t have them handing the car keys to obama for another four
After referring to Obama as "true evil" and a "a Marxist/Socialist dictator who has made no attempt to hide his intentions to destroy our country" you will not vote for his opponent?
I assume you don't have children because I can't imagine anyone who cares about the future nation that their children will inherit not doing everything in their power to prevent Obama's second term. But, hey, you've got principles after all! Principles that clearly take priority over denying a second term to perhaps the most destructive president this nation has ever suffered.
Amen Drew - you get it perfectly. I pray more and more do as November approaches.
I wouldn’t call the results ‘narrowly’....especially in an ‘open primary’
From Michael Barone:
Santorum WI vote boosted by Democratic crossovers
Excerpt:
Wisconsin, like my home state of Michigan, doesn’t have party registration. Any registered voter can walk into the polls and vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary. In 2008 there were serious contests in both parties in Wisconsin. In 2012 there’s a serious contest only in the Republican primary. According to the exit poll, 30% of Republican primary voters identified themselves as Independents and 11% as Democrats. Among self-identified Democrats, Rick Santorum beat Mitt Romney 37%-19%. That amounted to a Santorum popular vote majority of 2% of the total vote. You might want to keep that in mind in interpreting the statewide percentage. Among self-identifed Republicans, Romney won 51%-37%. That’s pretty conclusive about what Republicans want.
Rino GOP-E Playbook 101:
Guilt your members into voting for OUR CHOICE..the heir apparent, Mittens Romney. and be sure to have your topdog Paul Ryan stand next to him at a sub shop and hand out free subs to voters with that plastic smile and robotic handshake as a draw. “Nice ta meet ya”!!
I am a Conservative activist. I will not vote for a self serving, phony, unscrupulous, soul-less Massachusetts liberal bishop who couldn’t give a rat’s arse about the Tea Party or Conservatives. The party has abandoned me and until they come around to supporting true Conservatives, I won’t be back.
And no, it won’t be my fault if Obama beats Mittens.Most unknowing party lemmings will do as they are told. The GOP-E will need look no further than the end of their own noses if things don’t go their way in November.
And yes, I have four children and six grandchildren. And I have taught them about core Constitutional principles and American exceptionalism...that THEY are responsible for their own lives..And that they should not put their hopes for their own survival or happiness into the hands of ANYONE. The power lies with THEM, ie WE THE PEOPLE.
This is OUR country and WE will decide.
You are giving Obama way too much power. Work to help take back the Senate like I am and you’ll be doing more good for your children and their children’s future than anything.
We still live under a system of checks and balances. If we have a solid GOP House and Senate, that’s real power to roadblock the Usurper.
Now if I didn't have Zero's auto on the back of the ticket no one would believe me! I think I have a good sense of discernment. Because after flicking off hippie protesters in the parking area I called my mom and told her I met the next President and he is a bad bad guy.
Aura, whatever you want to say, when I shook his hands I got shivers, not the "thrill up your leg" it was the shivers when you are generally scared.
“Romney is the underwhelming candidate.
In Wisconsin just over 40 percent support and even in liberal Maryland he couldn’t break past 49 percent.
Most Republican voters don’t want Mitt Romney....”
That’s right, and even out of the Republicans, who DID vote for Romney in the primaries, many of them voted for him because they mistakingly think he’s the one who can beat Obama.
“There is a pronounced urban/rural split, which is consistent with other Midwestern states.”
And I’ll bet ya both a doughnut that in the heavy-blue areas of our state, the Dems crossed over and voted a straight Pubbie ticket just to pump up Governor Romney. You can vote either party in a primary like this in our state.
They’re devious that way...
