Mitt Romney Wins

By W. James Antle, III on 1.10.12 @ 8:14PM

There is really no drama here. Mitt Romney has been declared the winner of the New Hampshire primary and seems poised to win north of 35 percent of the vote. Ron Paul is in second place in the mid-20s and doesn't seem likely to be dislodged by Jon Huntsman, who is hovering around 18 percent of the vote currently. The only remaining suspense is whether Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum will finish fourth (Gingrich has led Santorum throughout the night; the exits have them tied).

Tomorrow's headline: Mitt Romney wins NH primary, crushes Tea Party, path clear to nomination...and White House. Mormon Power!

Hello, Romney lovers:

Romney stole IA, bought NH, and will be defeated in SC.

SC is the land of liberty and free-enterprise. No country for "big government liberal RINO" like Romney or Santorum.

We must STOP Romney because:

-pro-abortion
-pro gay marriage
-pro gun control
-RomneyCare
-Supports climate change

And this why Santorum should be defeated in SC:

-opposed "Right to Work" state law, favoring big labor unions over worker' choice
-voted for raising debt celling 8 time
-NCLB
-voted against free trade

We must support Rick Perry. He has southern heritage and conservative credentials to win in SC. Gingrich will be my second choice.

We need a business executive in the WH to bring jobs back to the US. Romney is the only one...Rick Perry cannot win and Newt has serious ethical issues. Newt is attacking capitalism today...and making a fool of himself.

If you don't get behind the nominee, your "anyone but Romney" dream will come true, and his name is Barack Obama.

Romney is a "big government liberal MA moderate RINO." He'll be slaughtered in SC, politically.

Oh well, Proud Mormon, he'll be a step up from the unrepentant Marxist.. but I would rather have Newt or Perry or Santorum quite frankly.

Let's see S Carolina. In Minnesota, if Santorum is still in the game, I'm voting for him.

I'm so glad the wise-ass Manchester Union-Leader got its comeuppance tonight.

The outcome in S.C. is likely to be what it was tonight in N.H. Romney the winner, Paul second. Ron Paul will be a great Secretary Of The Treasury in the Romney administration.
