The former Pennsylvania senator made his case for being the lone, serious Republican challenger to Romney for the remainder of the primary by besting Gingrich in states the former speaker's campaign had previously said were essential to its long-term viability, although there were no signs that this race would lose another candidate anytime soon.
“We did it again,” Santorum said to wild applause from supporters in Louisiana, and amid projections by NBC News that he would win both Mississippi and Alabama.
Romney had hoped to score a victory in Mississippi, thereby proving his ability to win a state that composes part of the heart of the modern GOP. But he appeared to be heading to a third-place finish in both contests, failing to even surpass Gingrich, a candidate who’s weathered growing calls by some in the party to exit the race.
A former governor of Massachusetts, Romney acknowledged these contests were an “away game” for a figure like him, marking an effort to set low expectations for how he might finish in the contests.
That's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThe two states with the lowest education level in the US. Guess they backed that up.
ReplyDeleteEven better still, when asked who would have a better chance of beating Obama, they went with Romney. Oh the educated electorate.......And they want picture ids. How about an I.Q. test instead?
