Who will win tonight? And what does it mean? Santorum vs Romney

Personally, I am hoping Santorum will win, so he can lose to Obama and put the bible thumpers to rest for a while.

I think it will be close but Romney will win, in the end it wont matter because none of them stand much of a chance.

It's already been said in a couple of news articles or radio stories that if Romney loses his "home" state of Michigan that things will be looking very grim for him indeed.

And, as has been said, it's not that either of them really have much of a chance against Obama. Right now, it doesn't really matter if you are Democrat or Republican -- the 2012 race isn't really much of a race since the Republicans don't have one outstanding candidate and the Democrats are perfectly happy to let Obama roll right through November.

This board ought to get more and more interesting as the months roll by - our resident poli-tards will continue to try to convince the masses that "their" party is the smart choice.

Romney will win and the press will continue to claim that he doesn't have enough support and that the race is continuing to be very close.

Dear effing god please no! Not Santorum! He will most likely be the first candidate ever to have his own state vote vehemently against him.

The media have a vested interest in the conflict continuing rather than concluding. It's not that hard to figure out.

I agree with that. 24 hour stations need and often create controversy.

But you do know it's possible that some people are genuinely concerned with him, right? It's not *always* the media manufacturing it. We live in a country that is shallow enough to think Obama isn't a citizen. It's not out of the realm of possibility that some people out there are concerned with his religion or his political flip-flopping. A simple Google search or trip to an opponent's rally will show that.

It is reasonable to conclude that a larger percentage of adamantly ultra-conservative republicans participate in the primary than do in the general election. That causes the voting to skew towards the more extremely right-wing for the purposes of primary vote-counting. I believe that almost all of this "Not Romney" business is caused by it.

A LOT of Democrats are voting in the Republican primary in Michigan.

All of them for Santorum.....which is funny as hell. As close as the race is, they might just be enough to put him over the top.

Gawd I hope so. This is the most entertaining primary I can ever remember. Mittens, frothy anal discharge, and Dr. Strangelove. laugh

This and the Operation CHAOS stuff from four years ago are why primaries should be closed to only those registered in the party.

They should also be privately funded by the party's treasury.

i thought it was for hillary to thwart obama. he should definitely vote obama this time around since they are similar. obama is against superpacs but is using them anyways and Rho is against voting dishonestly even though he said he was going to. i even remember calling him out on it. if i wasn't so lazy i'd find it.

Romney wins.

Of course, he still doesn't have support and the religious nut that nobody likes is the REAL President.

If Romney won the Office, I think they would still say Santorum has a chance.

I don't believe he wanted anyone to anything unethical or illegal.

The idiotic democratic party has so many OPEN primaries, that republicans can take his advice w/o even approaching any ethical or legal barriers.

It is looking like a very strange outcome actually.

Santorum might get 2 more delegates than Romney because Romneys votes were concentrated in the urban areas and he won them with a higher overall percentage in each district than Santorum won his.

In essence think of this like if you had a presidential election and one person won the percentage vote and the other won the electoral college.

Nobody is really going to analyze it that way really -- they will call this a Romney win -- or more a Santorum loss with a few stupid comments and a poor debate showing.

I still find the idea of having a primary be "open" to be kinda of ridiculous.

I used to think this too, but why is it a requirement that parties be involved in a public activity. Isn't in California that made the primaries open and then the top 2 vote getters, regardless of party compete in the general election. Why should the public pay for activities around the selection of party candidates?

I want a candidate who will be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Which one would that be? Obama, or Romney?

The party system is set up to never have such a candidate.

Closest thing to it in recent history might have been JFK -- but he was merely fiscally moderate.
