Ohio is often said to be a microcosm of America. Mitt Romney’s win there tonight was a microcosm of his campaign, as were the Super Tuesday results more generally. Romney struggles against weak competition, sapping confidence in him as a frontrunner and a nominee. But he ultimately keeps getting the wins he needs. Romney will make it look ugly and many conservatives will continue to vote against him, yet he is going to be tough to stop from here.

He is the designated loser who outspends his opponents 10-1 and still can't close the deal. He is a fraud as a "conservative" to boot.
spike59| 3.7.12 @ 6:31AM
if the guy who has significantly more delegates than the rest of the field COMBINED is the 'disignated loser', what does that make the rest of the gang?????

Apparently, The Israel Firster Smear Bund RINO-CINO Buffoon, Spicey69 Is All Giddy Because The Ruling Elite's Patrician Fop RINO-CINO Frontman,Mittens Romney Is Ahead.
The Tea Party Rebellion Will Force A Brokered Convention.

Too many conservatives still see through Romney. Only the myth of his "inevitability" gains him enough conservative and Tea Party votes to pull out slim wins like Ohio.
And at the end of the Ohio campaign, Santorum was beginning to bite into Mitt's lead, as the Romney propaganda began to grow stale.
RJ| 3.7.12 @ 1:23AM
Yes, Romney is in the lead and the runway is getting shorter, but the race isn't over. It reminds me of "Rocky." The heavy favorite is having trouble putting away the underdog, who keeps fighting back. There may still be some surprises in this race.
Regardless who wins, the big fight is in November. Obama and the liberals are taking our freedom, our rights, our property and our future. We want them back. Obama and the liberals are running an increasingly corrupt and lawless government. We will stop it. Obama and his supporters in Congress have got to go. Renew America, Retire Obama.

I am going to have to pay closer attention to your comments in the future, RJ. Your conclusion, "We will stop it," is particularly noteworthy. Count me in.
Clint| 3.7.12 @ 1:30AM
Ohio Delegates Are Awarded Proportionately. It's Not A Winner Take All State.
We Are Being Set Up By The RINO-CINO Flunkie Stooges For The Ruling Elites' Frontman Mittens Romney.
These Are The RINO-CINO Flunkie Stooges Who Gave Us The Serial Traitor To Conservatism, John McCain Of McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy,McCain-Lieberman,Gang Of 14, Opposing Bush Tax Cuts Of 2001 & 2003,TARP.
Now They Are Trying To Give Us RomneyCare,TARP, Cynical Flip-Flops On Abortion, Gays, Refuses to Sign Pro-Life Pledge, Illegal Immigrants, "Little Chain Saw Al" At Bain, Crony Capitalism Campaign Money Trail.....
The Tea Party Rebellion Heads To A Brokered Convention.

"... many conservatives will continue to vote against him ..."
Yep, and will continue to in November. Better four more years of Obama blocked by Congress than eight of the slower version with no opposition. At SOME point the idiots in charge of the R's will learn to stop repeating 2008.

" At SOME point the idiots in charge of the R's will learn to stop repeating 2008."
I wish I could share your sentiments in this sentence, but I can't. They don't call the GOP The Stupid Party for nothing. BHO will be re-elected because The Stupid Party refuses to learn the hard lesson that they can't beat liberal Democrats with their own liberal Republicans. Liberals will choose the liberal Democrat every time. The Democrat voters which voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 were conservative Democrats. Mitt Romney is John McCain V2. Landslide incoming next November.
