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?
Do you like this post?

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.

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 â 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 itâs 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:
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7400395n
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.

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%?

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.

Besides his craziness, Santorum is kind of dull. It says a lot about Romney’s lack of appeal that this guy would surge.

NBC predicting Romney will win MI, apparently. I guess Fox won’t interrupt his speech for the news.
