RSSGOP Presidential Primary: Mitt Romney Sweeps Night, Victorious in Michigan and Arizona
ROMNEY WINS MICHIGAN AND ARIZONA PRIMARIES …
What was touted by many political pundits as a potential nightmare evening for Mitt Romney, in the end Romney won the primaries in both Michigan and Arizona. It was a runaway victory in Arizona; however, Michigan was a much closer race. But was it?Romney topped Santorum in AZ, 47% to 26%. Romney’s victory in Michigan over Santorum was a much closer tally at a 41% to 38% margin. But was it really that close in Michigan? Not really, as Democrats who voted in the GOP primary went for Santorum heavily. There is no way these folks would ever vote for a Republican against the GOP Presidential candidate.
Romney wins Michigan and Arizona by this much …
The victory by Mr. Romney in Arizona, which awarded him the state’s entire allotment of 29 delegates, was overshadowed by the battle in Michigan. He prevailed in the statewide popular vote by four percentage points, relying on large margins in the counties around Detroit where he spent his childhood, but the fight for delegates was closer.
Michigan awards its 30 delegates by Congressional district, which meant Mr. Santorum would either leave Michigan with nearly the same number as Mr. Romney or only slightly fewer. Mr. Santorum beamed when he took the stage before a cheering crowd in Grand Rapids and reminded his supporters of how far he had come.
Exit polls in Michigan say …
Just curious, if Obama won a state by a close margin, after having won so many in 2008 by a large margin … would the liberal MSM call the victory ugly? Of course not. If any one made such a comment, the liberal press would be posting articles that the GOP called Obama ugly.
In the end, a wins is a win and its onto the next state …

Mitt Romney has a real chance of being elected.
Like it or not, the USA is a “center-right” country, and Romney is a “center-right” candidate.
I have even heard Democrats (who voted for Obama) concede that they could bring themselves to vote for Romney…
One thing is for sure – Romney means trouble for Obama – and this Admin knows it!
