Ann Romney seems like a harmless enough nice lady but maybe, like Mitt, she should stay at least 500 feet away from the word “wealthy,” for the rest of the year. [YouTube] Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Wonkette Discovery Date : 05/03/2012 22:58 Number of articles : 2
Mitt Romney won Washington state’s Republican caucuses this weekend, gaining a boost heading into Super Tuesday tomorrow, March 6, when 11 states hold contests. The choice isn’t binding. Romney won 37.6 percent of vote. He’s put together a bit of a win streak, also carrying Wyoming, Arizona and Michigan within the last week. Ron Paul edged Rick Santorum for second place with both receiving about 25 percent of the vote, with Newt Gingrich coming in fourth with 11 percent of the vote. Republican contests on March 6 include Ohio, a swing state that President Obama, a Democrat, won in 2008 and Republican President George W. Bush won in 2004. Polls there are very close, while Santorum has the edge in Oklahoma and Tennessee, and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich leads surveys in Georgia. Romney is expected to win Massachusetts, Vermont and likely Virginia. Paul will continue to be a factor everywhere, particularly in states with caucus formats. The 2012 Washington Republican Caucus results: Mitt Romney 19,111 (37.6%) Ron Paul 12,594 (24.8%) Rick Santorum 12,089 (23.8%) Newt Gingrich 5,221 (10.3%) Other 1,749 (3.4%)
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has won Wyoming’s presidential caucus vote, a series of county straw polls that took place over the last three weeks. At 39 percent, Romney bested Rick Santorum (32 percent), Ron Paul (21 percent) and Newt Gingrich (8 percent). The Wyoming GOP released the results Wednesday. Like Iowa’s caucus, Wyoming’s is not binding and will in no way affect the state’s 29 delegates to the national convention, where the nominee will be formally chosen. More attention will likely be paid to Wyoming’s county conventions, held March 6-10, which will directly elect 12 delegates to the Republican National Convention. Its April state convention , which will elect another 14 delegates … none of which will be allocated (or “bound”) to any of the four remaining presidential candidate. Each will have to announce support for a candidate or “undecided.” Confused yet? Only 2,108 total votes were cast in Wyoming, the least populous U.S. state (fun fact). Nevada, the next smallest caucus to date, saw more than 30,000 GOP votes. Also like in Iowa, the precinct caucuses served another function, besides recording a presidential-preference vote: electing delegates to Wyoming’s later conventions. If Romney’s win in Wyoming is any indication, he’ll receive more backing than his rivals from Wyoming’s unbound national delegates at the GOP convention. Romney won Michigan and Arizona Tuesday. Ten states cast ballots next week, on Super Tuesday, in an increasingly important date for his three competitors.

One of the more interesting things of this campaign cycle has been that Mitt Romney, the take-charge private equity CEO, is actually quite a cautious politician.

Looking to eke out a win in his tight battle with Mitt Romney tonight, Rick Santorum is reaching out to an unlikely constituency — Democrats.

Mitt Romney knows that’s it’s “very easy to excite the base with incendiary comments,” and while some of his GOP rivals—not that anyone in particular comes to mind—might be willing to “say really outrageous things” in order to pander to the base, Romney isn’t that kind of candidate. He has standards. “I’m not willing to light my hair on fire to try and get support,” he said in Michigan this morning….
