Interesting nugget from last night’s exit polls: In Wisconsin, a 40 percent plurality of Republican primary voters described themselves as moderate or liberal. But they didn’t vote overwhelmingly for Mitt Romney. They broke down Romney 36 percent, Rick Santorum 33 percent, and Ron Paul 19 percent.
In Maryland, a smaller 31 percent slice of the Republican primary electorate described themselves as moderate or liberal. Romney dominated, taking 48 percent to Santorum’s 22 percent and Paul’s 16 percent. Newt Gingrich made it into the double digits at 10 percent.

As it was an open election.......probably dems voting against a Romney nomination.
Les| 4.4.12 @ 12:05PM
Actually,Santorum dominated the Milwaukee metro area,which is the most Republican part of Wisconsin. He won Washington Co.by 18 pts(a county that voted 67% for McCain in 2008). He won Waukesha Co. by 32 points(a county that voted 65% for mcCain). Santorum did do well in Dane Co. which is the most liberal county in the state(Madison,).

What if............
President: Mitt Romney
VP: Kelly Ayotte
I like her because she is a Tea Partier, Catholic, and "Lady in Red." She was endorsed by Sarah Palin in the 2010 senate race. Sen. Ayotte is no Sarah Palin, but she sure is the next "Iron Lady."

My take from out here in Fly Over Country continues to be that if the GOP RINO establishment foists Mitt RomneyCare on conservatives, that it will be another Dole/McCain Redux...
Drek| 4.4.12 @ 2:17PM
The question isn't whether there are "moderates" for Mitt!
The question is whether there will be a majority of voters for Mitt, or whether there will be a victorious plurality for him.
And I don't see it shaping up that way.
Well our supposedly better informed superiors in the party wanted him. That was clear, and they've wanted him for years now.
Well they've got him.
What happens when he goes down to an ignominious defeat, and takes a good chunk of our electoral hopes down with him.
What happens when Obama wins reelection and can arguably claim a mandate for a continuation of his policies?
Windy City Commentary| 4.4.12 @ 3:21PM
Mitt's picking up the votes of dumb Republicans who think they are conservative because they watch Fox News, and like Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio.
Cpm| 4.4.12 @ 8:06PM
Then that's lightyears more conservative than dumb democrats that watch MSNBC, and like Nancy Pelosi and vote for Obama.
Mender| 4.4.12 @ 10:22PM
Never mind this, have people here seen the polls? Especially the gender breakdown?
The GOP needs to shut up about contraception and abortion otherwise your wives will walk into the booths and vote Obama back in. So it has to be Ayotte not Rubio or Ryan. We've already lost the Latino vote by a landslide thanks to Romney's views on DREAM, the only question is whether we can not lose the women vote by a landslide too.
