Romney pounds everyone in Illinois. Only needs like 46% of the remaining delegates. In a race not filled with dysfunctional people, this would be over and the general would begin.

I'm worried now that people are so afraid of Frothy/Newtie and the facetimer Republicans that Romney looks like a voice of reason, and that might get him just enough votes from a relieved populace to put him over in the general. Perhaps that was the strategy all along. The New Coke treatment, if you will.

Santorum is in Gettysburg tonight...evidently sending a message to next up Louisiana. He says this is the most important election since 1860.

Back when republicans liked negros, didn't like state's rights, and wanted the federal gov'ment to impose their will on the citizenry..

I'd be willing to bet that you'd find many Republicans in 1860 who, while vocally disapproving of slavery, weren't exactly anxious to invite the darkies over for dinner either. ;)

Lincoln himself said they were an inferior race that should be repatriated to Africa.

But there were moral abolitionists, and they were Republicans. When the parties had their polar realignment in the mid 20th century those same people became Democrats and joined the Civil Rights Movement. And the people opposing them were the same pathetic shlubs from 1860, only changing their "D" to an "R."

Same villains; different letter after their name.

And here we are today with the same villains, yet again. Secede. Please.

That's quite a story you've worked up there.

I'm so glad I don't see what Foxton posts, except once in awhile when someone quotes him.

Unfortunately Mitt Romney won't be able to shake away this comparison any time soon. When his campaign spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom was asked this morning on CNN how the GOP frontrunner would make the pivot to the general election, Fehrnstrom's comments drew fire from the GOP opponents.

"Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch A Sketch," Fehernstrom told CNN's John Fugelsang. "You can kind of shake it up and restart all of over again. But I will say, if you look at the exit polling data in Illinois, you'll see that Mitt Romney is broadly acceptable to most of the factions in the party. You have to do that in order to become the nominee…"

He's got the hair for being President. I'll give him that.

I wonder sometimes how often some of the people who post here emerge from their insulated cocoons.....in the grocery store or laundromat, overhearing people's conversations, traveling around the country, listeing to comments in restaurants, BHO is not very popular outside of a very narrow constituency. Not to say that the Repugnicans are any better....my guess is that there will be quite a few people holding their noses in the voting booth this November, wishing there was a "none of the above" option available.:(

Young people seem particularly disaffected...I guess they aren't all that eager to be deliberately overcharged for health insurance!

Perhaps it depends on whether you are in a place that supports him? Where I live, I would say that my anecdotal evidence is quite different from this.

Mitt Romney makes me want to shove my fingers down my throat and power vomit.

This. Even the died in the wool GOP folks I know are disgusted by the choices they have. I may not be overly fond of what the President is doing or not doing but I for sure am scared out of my boots to deal with Romney on the national level. On the state level he was a shapeshifter. The opinion articulated by his staffer re the change in the fall is what we saw here up close and personal. At least you kind of know what the current president stands for. Romney it is spin the wheel and see who poured the most money at him recently.
