BOSTON — The crowd circled around the televisions at the Copley Westin. Drinking $9 beer, young men were saying, “C’mon, c’mon,” as Fox News said that Virginia was too close to call. The networks reported a late surge for Ron Paul. Then, when the news broke that Mitt Romney had defeated Paul, the crowd erupted into cheers. Numbers then flashed on the television screen showing Vermont too close to call. Exit polls showed Paul winning 41 percent of independents there. “Wackos,” said a Romney supporter. “That state is full of wackos.” Fox News is now projecting that Romney will also win Vermont.

It's all so easy when it's bought and paid for....
The Liberal Democrat Charlatan from The Peoples' Republic of Tax-a-chusetts has been running for President since 2006, without a break.
And now he's going to break the back of the GOP.
The Pledge:
Willard Milton Romney is a Limousine Liberal Democrat masquerading as a Republican; therefore I WILL NOT vote for him, EVER!
- the grand failure continues apace...

The crowd circled around the television.... give me a break.
Woohoo! the applause is deafening! Right.
Trying to make this sound like the two minute drill in a close Super Bowl game is sickening.

Paying $9 for a Blue Collar Chic Pabst Blue Ribbon drought is why fly over country doesn't care for Mitt Romney.
Good writing, Mr. Antle--got your angle.
Unapproving| 3.6.12 @ 8:44PM
Well, I can tell you as a Virigina resident and voter that Romney and his money team bought this election (primary) in Virginia today. He bought it all. He got it down to just him and Paul and he'll get over 50% easily so he'll carry all 49 delegates.
What a crooked world we live in.
Romney started buying this election back in year 2004 -- at the latest. What a sham.
This really is trouncing on the good folks of America.
If you are good enough, you do not have to buy your way into office. Shame on Gov. Bob McDonnel and Eric Cantor for enabling this shame
Tom| 3.6.12 @ 8:54PM
Yes, Bob McDonnell is definitely on my Hall of Shame list for being a Romneyite hack. I was a very enthusiastic supporter of his when he won in 2009, but I will definitely keep this in mind whenever he runs for office in the future.
WL| 3.6.12 @ 10:53PM
I have a feeling Mr. Mcdonnell made a deal for the future...as in the next Republican Nomination, if Mitt loses...
Tom| 3.6.12 @ 8:52PM
It's now 8:50 PM. The single most astonishing state vote total I've seen so far is that Romney won Vermont; with 40 percent! 40 percent in Vermont for Romney is an embarressment.

Brokered or not...I doubt they will have a place to park your space ship.
But I am sure that Bibi will let you ride one of his one way trip specials landing in an Iranian bunker near Mahmoud...Its sure to be a real good show.
somnolence| 3.6.12 @ 10:25PM
There will not be a brokered convention. But dream on as that is your right.
somnolence| 3.6.12 @ 10:26PM
The most astonishing statistic tonight is that Romney finished second in Tennessee, AHEAD of Gingrich.
somnolence| 3.6.12 @ 10:27PM
Romney also won 28% of the vote in Georgia, coming in second, and winning delegates. Good strategy at work for him.
