Michigan And Arizona Primary - Open Thread

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on February 28, 2012 · Flag

I'm watching the Fox News coverage. Fox News just predicted Mitt Romney will "easily win" Arizona, "as expected." Michigan appears to be a different story. Fox is saying Romney holds a slim lead but it's too early to call. Ron Paul is predicted for third and Newt Gingrich fourth in MI.

What are you guys watching? Any thoughts?

Pig Newton’s Presidential crusade will hopefully grind to a halt after Super Tuesday. Other than possibly Georgia, he won’t win another State primary. Pig can then focus full-time on whoring up enough cash to pay off Calista’s Tiffany jewelry account.

I agree, Antoinette… whether or not Romney won tonight is debatable, like Ellen said. In terms of cold numbers, he won by a narrow margin… but did he win, or was he just the lesser evil?

But against Obama, he’s already assured his defeat with stunts like this:

MEMO TO MITT

When you’re running for president, don’t answer questions about poor people’s concerns by saying they’re jealous of you. It makes you look like a heartless douche.

We don’t think The Mitt will beat Obama. There’s a lot of people who don’t like him. Some Bible-thumping christian conservatives consider the Mormon religion a cult, and will sit it out in November than vote for a Mormon.

Pretty Ricky’s mouth did him in.

The Newt’s bank vault is getting low on funds. We predict he will exit stage right, and take that stepford wife Calista with him.

Interesting notes from ABC exit poll:
Romney leaned on some of his customary support groups, notably well-off voters and senior citizens – effective elements, if not necessarily the most compelling ones for a national campaign. He won senior citizens, but split voters under age 65 with Santorum. He won $100,000-plus voters, but no other income group. He especially won $200,000-plus voters, around which it’s hard to build a slogan for the masses.

Indeed, in a result suggesting that Romney won more heads than hearts, he beat Santorum by a 2-1 margin, 54-26 percent, as the candidate seen as most likely to defeat Barack Obama in November. Yet the contest between the two in this primary was a far closer one than that.

I can’t really think of Romney as the winner tonight. He merely avoided losing, as I see it. He may still beat Obama in November but if so, it won’t be because of any momentum gained here.

CBS pointed out something interesting… Santorum has 50% with people who consider themselves to be “true” conservatives, such as Fox News viewers. Romney only has 35%.

But if you do ALL Republicans, Romney is the winner at 43% to Santorum’s 40%. Here’s the video:

Fox News has been rehabing Santorum a lot, and it shows with the “tru Paytreeit” crowd. But Romney still won. Now it’s up to delegates.

Robert, Quite possible!
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 23:01:51 -0500 · Flag
Bret Baier just said that the way the MI system works, Santorum could wind up with more delegates than Romney.

One big blessing of the night: No Hannity!

Now Karl Rove is on Fox to spin why this is a decisive victory for Mitt.
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:52:32 -0500 · Flag
Shorter Romney – America is best country except for its anti-American president that was democratically elected.

Hey Mitt Rmoney, I know several people who worked very hard only to see their jobs be outsourced or eliminated so executives could get their beloved bonuses. You know all about that, right Mitt? Makes you feel all Yankee Doodle inside, don’t it?

And Obama wants to raise your taxes? Was everyone in that room the upper 1%?
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:41:15 -0500 · Flag
Didi, he has to do something to look like a real conservative.
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:38:53 -0500 · Flag
I’m listening to Romney on the radio. Is he in a Cadillac?
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:37:41 -0500 · Flag
Robert, I missed that.
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:37:10 -0500 · Flag
And now Mitt gives a shout out to anti-American Brewer.
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:34:12 -0500 · Flag
Ann Romney just gave a shout out to birther Trump.
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:31:18 -0500 · Flag
Here comes Romney.

Sarah Palin had the shortest concession speech. They wouldn’t allow her to talk.
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:28:35 -0500 · Flag
Is this longest concession speech ever?
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:27:52 -0500 · Flag
I just don’t see how Romney doesn’t get the nomination, no matter what happens.
doors17 commented 2012-02-28 22:24:18 -0500 · Flag
Santorum just got his biggest cheer when he said he wanted to end Obama care.

A week from today is Super Tuesday and will involve contests in Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia.

It won’t be dull.
Aria Prescott commented 2012-02-28 22:23:19 -0500 · Flag
Don’t completely boycott products of Arizona, Ellen. That would make me a sad panda.
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:22:24 -0500 · Flag
Besides his craziness, Santorum is kind of dull. It says a lot about Romney’s lack of appeal that this guy would surge.
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:17:45 -0500 · Flag
Fox interrupted Santorum speech to announce prediction Romey will win MI.
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:16:29 -0500 · Flag
I can’t imagine Santorum is speaking for any other reason than to concede.
doors17 commented 2012-02-28 22:15:10 -0500 · Flag
MSNBC just called it for Mitt.
Ellen commented 2012-02-28 22:13:23 -0500 · Flag
NBC predicting Romney will win MI, apparently. I guess Fox won’t interrupt his speech for the news.
