The Illinois Primary

Neal Boortz: Newt Gingrich all but finished 
Mitt Romney wins big in Illinois, but rival Rick Santorum vows to fight on    ...“It’s time to say this word: enough. We’ve had enough.”

"Romney was talking about his desire to end the Obama administration. But one wonders if he also was making a subtle plea to his GOP rivals."
This contest will be "between those Republicans who disagree with Barack Obama, believing his policies to be mistaken, and those who hate Barack Obama, believing him to be wicked.(Rush Limbaugh)  "And this is one of the problems that people on my side have with Romney. They don't think Romney or the Republican establishment cares that much about repudiating what Obama has done. They just want to beat him. They just want back in control...." 
This pretty well sums up the feeling of many of us; we don't just want Obama to be edged out by some slim margin that can be disputed and called a near-victory by his fellow-travelers. We want the policies of this entire left-wing and its advocates in Hollywood, the liberal media and in the camps of the occupiers to be shamed by the rejection of their policies.
But if this is to be accomplished by even a razor-thin margin, it will have to be over the resistance of the media, the entertainment industry, academia and a naive voting segment that knows nothing of economics and the dangers of socialist goals.
 Republicans will have to outvote an electorate that includes the aforementioned plus millions of voters -citizens or not- who know little of this nation and are, in fact, seeking America's repudiation. TD


TNR: I Did the Delegate Math—And It's Over "And looking at the calendar and the resources available to Romney and Santorum, it’s just irrational to deny Romney’s got this wrapped up. It comes down to the delegate math: Despite his various missteps, Romney has been steadily winning a majority of the delegates awarded." 

PJ Tatler: Endgame for Newt Gingrich?  "Gingrich lost where he badly needed wins, and fared poorly in Illinois. His campaign is financially under water. If he does not win in Louisiana’s primary next week, where does he go from there?" 
Boy, will we miss Newt in the debates when he takes on the Obama press sycophants.

John W. Lillpop: Time to End Political Circus, Get Behind Mitt, [and] Defeat Obama! 

"Now that Mitt Romney is “almost there,” Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum should hold a united press conference to acknowledge what seems most probable: Mitt Romney will be the nominee for the Republican Party.
"They should release their delegates to Romney and agree to campaign where and when Romney needs their help."
