Michigan Aftermath

By W. James Antle, III on 2.29.12 @ 9:54AM

It appears that Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum may have split the state's 14 congressional districts. The current estimate is that this will result in 14 delegates for Romney and 12 for Santorum. It is unclear how the at-large delegates will be apportioned. Third place finisher Ron Paul was three points short of qualifying for at-large delegates, Newt Gingrich wasn't even close.

Maybe..............
President: Mitt Romney

Except for the fact it will never happen because Romney won't beat Obama. He's a dud and last night was the last chance we had to get a better candidate into the race. I've already moved on to 2016.

Right, name that states that RINO dream ticket carries.....
that ticket would put the South back in the D camp for the first time since the 60s.

Santorum supported Arlene Specter, who cast the 60th deciding vote passing Obamacare, and that was a "fatal" blow to Santorum's conservative credentials.

Ain't proportional primaries great? I know the GOP wants to keep things going for a while, so other states feel like they have a part in the process. But winning should count for something more than just a couple extra delegates.

I would say that at least half the delegates in every primary should be winner-take-all. A state can then play games with the other half, if they want to. Or they can make all the delegates winner-take-all.

Georgia looms large. Michigan lost half of its delegates when it decided to go early. Polling data has Newt winning Georgia in a landslide. If he also picks up Tennesse or Oklahoma he's back in the delegate race.

What does that tell you about the "front runner" Mittens when he has to spend millions of Dollars, only to end up a few percentage points ahead of the sweather vest guy? Mittens will lose in a landslide to Obama. Wake up America.

Looks like the big"O" in November you repubbies deserve at least that much for the way you carry on about Romney, you need to admit to yourselves it's because he's a Mormon.
