Super Tuesday

[IronWing]

just saw on Fox that Dennis Kucinich lost the Democratic Primary in his district?

that's sad.

That's too bad. It looks like redistricting caught him. He was the last liberal in Congress.

 

[Thump553]

If Santorum lapsed into a coma two weeks ago and was unable to speak he'd be the front runner today. As it is, even the Catholics prefer Romney to him by a wide margin.

He has no one to blame but his own stupid self for collapsing back to being a third tier candidate. Ohio was a repeat of Michigan.

To paraphrase a comment Chris Matthews made last night-Romeny vs. Gingrich and Santorum, that's not the majors, that's little league.

 

[TalonStrike]

How can anyone look at the delegate count and try to spin yesterday against Romney? He is well on his way to clinching the nomination.

 

[PokerGuy]

Well, at least one positive, that idiot Kucinich is finally gone. The fact that he was even in the US congress is an embarrassment to this nation.

Romney is not nearly as conservative as I'd like, and he did support something similar to that disaster called obamacare, but he's still lightyears ahead of the alternative, so lets go Romney 2012.

The big loser is Ron Paul. At this point all he's doing is wasting money.

 

[PingSpike]

According to local papers since Romney failed to get 50% Ron Paul and Sanatorium will each get 4 delegates from Vermont?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not to worry not to worry, Ron Paul is not wasting his own money, he is spending the money delusional Paul Bots sent him on the principle that a fool and his money are soon parted. And since Ron Paul is not running for Congress this year, he will hopefully descend into retirement.

But just like Japanese monster movie remake like Son of Godzilla, there may be the Son of Ron Paul coming to us in the future.

 

[soundforbjt]

The idiot son is already in the hearts and minds of Paulbots everywhere. Just when you thought it'd be peaceful, the idiot son gets voted into office in a hick state.

I've heard something like that mentioned before. Seems if no one get's more than 50% then the delegates are proportioned. Get more than 50%, you get them all. Sort of a hybrid proportional/winner-take-all system I guess.

Too many states with their own rules for me to keep up with.

No way to spin it. He will get the nomination. But there are some qualifiers. First, his support did not improve with the tea party or evangelicals. That suggests a lack of enthusiasm for him in the general election among those constituencies. Second, Santorum is just barely nipping at his heals such that he will have to keep spending lots of money just to be sure. That also will hurt him in the general. As will the continuation of the destructive rhetoric of this primary.

so romney won Ohio.

is it a all or nothing state?

or do romney and santorum get the same # of delgates? since santrum lost by 1%

 

[JEDI]

Ohio is proportional, but Santorum failed to qualify for a bunch of counties even where he won.

even if Romney lost Ohio, he probably would have walked away with more delegates from the state than Santorum.

and we all remember how the Democratic in-fighting in the 2008 Primaries (which lasted until June) locked McCain into a nice smooth win after Hillary and Obama spent the entire fall, winter, and spring dividing the party.

 

[werepossum]

I was the very last voter. They tell me turnout was quite light, about 10%. In a heavily Republican state, that can't be good for the Republicans.

I voted for Romney knowing that Santorum would win Tennessee big. I was very tempted to vote for Johnson since he's still on the ballot, but voting for someone who's left the party, even though he's pretty much my ideal candidate. just seemed wrong.
