He's walloping the shiat out of Santorum in Arizona too.

Good.

Holy crap, is he ever.

looks like those making $200k or more broke big for Rmoney. there's a shock!

Romney basically called the Republican base idiots in a speech I heard earlier on NPR.

Santorum has reportedly brought his campaign home for his children to play with

So does this mean its over yet or do we have to put up with another 30 of these before a candidate is chosen?
 
2012-02-28 11:09:56 PM
Ok, I think this one was the final nail in the coffin for me. The "Santorum" jokes are really starting to come off as really forced.

Time to dig a little deeper, Farkers... We can do better than this.

Super Tuesday at the very least. And if Romney doesn't definitively smash NotRomney then you can expect it to go on a lot longer.

According to the poll, about 75% of the Repulican voters were over 45 years old.

The idiot left couldn't sway this one towards butt-bubbles.

The headline implies that Rmoney took it in the ass.
 
2012-02-28 11:16:23 PM
Woo hoo. My friend owes me a meatball sub for lunch tomorrow. I knew Romney would win Michigan.
 
2012-02-28 11:16:25 PM
What, did Santorum come in #2?

It'll tighten up a little bit. Wayne county(Detroit) has been slipping slightly all night, and Kent and Ottowa counties are about half reported according to google.
 
2012-02-28 11:16:54 PM
I foresee a Romney/Santorum ticket after Super Tuesday.
 
2012-02-28 11:17:59 PM
For those who need it because of the headline (new window) Potentially NSFW, though I have yet to see any nudity.

So Romney beat Rick Friggin Satorum by less than 5% of the vote in his home state when he had 3 whole weeks to use his money advantage to blitz Santorum into oblivion and seemingly has struck some sort of under the table alliance with Ron Paul ... uhm, Congrats?

Doesn't really change much in the grand scheme of things .....
On Tuesday Santorum will win at least 3 out of the 4 the caucuses (Idaho, North Dakota, Alaska) and win Ohio and Oklahoma and maybe Tennessee if it doesn't go Newt. Newt takes Georgia. Romney is winning Massachusetts, Vermont and Virginia. The rest of March favors Santorum with evangelical states in Kansas, Wyoming, Alabama and Mississippi, and maybe with Newt dropping out after Super Tuesday.

Mitt likely ends up winning the nomination unless he self destructs, but this is going nowhere fast.

Democrat efforts to surge Santorum all over Michigan went limp.
 
2012-02-28 11:18:42 PM
well Santorum certainly gave a concession speech full of frothy exuberance

not very fond of his fact free politics though

"Deeper" has been said but "come off? forced? coffin?" Ok, the last might have been a personal kink.

So they voted for a guy with no actual beliefs rather than the right winger? That makes no sense.

Explain how this is his home state? He probably hasn't lived there for what? 30 years?
He made his career in and was governor of a different state.

Is this the point when the right wing trolls finally get behind Romney?

/Get behind.

I'm for him in the primary. If he wins that I will feel comfortable voting for Gary Johnson. Wait a minute.. I'm not a troll.

After watching that election 2008 video last night I hope so for the lulz.

I kinda wished that Frothy would have won, actually. Obama would have cleaned his clock at the first debate.

Still, going up against a plutocratic Marie Antoinette-minded silver-spooner like Mittens is gonna be fun to watch too.

apparently you're not familiar with what the words "home state" means.

I wouldn't vote for Gary Johnson over Obama but I would vote for him over any Republican that was in the race (even Huntsman).

And here I was thinking "Gee, I bet the Fark headline is going to be something like "Romney squeezes out Santorum" or "Santorum squeezed out in Michigan" or some combination of the two like "Romney squeezes out Santorum in Michigan."

*click*

A-yep!

I'm not sure if I should feel amused or disappointed in you, Fark.

Usually, when one is born and raised in a state, that state is termed the "home state."

Frothy would have been a joke in the general but he has turned Romney around in so many knots that he is done. He has been pushed so far the the right that he can't legitimately take a moderate position ever again.

Because he was born there, his father is still worshiped there, he campaigns there saying it's his home state and he won the state in 2008 running as a home town kid.

Fun fact: Oakland County is one of the wealthiest per capita counties in the US.
