The ”inevitable” candidate gets rejected by the base again.
RRD:Romney stands on,and for no principle other than his "conservative case for the Individual Mandate",and the belief that "the Earth is getting warmer",and man is largely to blame.(fn1)
Yet despite the fact that Romney has no convictions other than liberal ones,people continue to be suprised when he keeps losing.
While some of Santorum's Mississippi & Alabama supporters are no doubt motivated by agreement with some or all of Santorum's platform,others,(& perhaps more than one would think),are motivated by opposition to Romney & Romney's great ”achievement”:Romneycare.
Erikson seems to think that more of the voters were motivated by a desire to stop Romney,than by support of Santorum. I have excerpted the key parts below,& I summarize some parts. Romney came in third,in Alabama & Mississippi. Not Closing the Deal http://www.redstate.com/erick/2012/03/14/not-closing-the-deal/
....”Yesterday, Mitt Romney went on CNN and told Wolf Blitzer that Rick Santorum’s campaign 'was coming to a desperate end.' That seems more apt this morning to Romney’s southern campaign.”.... ...”Newt Gingrich last night proved he is neither a regional candidate nor a spoiler. ”.......”Gingrich could not win the deep south. He won Georgia and South Carolina. A Catholic yankee from Pennsylvania won Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and will probably win Louisiana. Even with Gingrich in the race, Santorum beat Romney. He was no spoiler. ”....
...” The striking thing about the exits, which over all captured the race fairly well, is that Santorum’s voters made up their mind in the last few weeks. In other words, Santorum’s voters made up their minds as Romney was winning Arizona, Michigan, and Ohio. Santorum’s vote is not about Santorum so much as it is about stopping Romney.”.... ....”No doubt buoyed by exit polling yesterday, the Romney campaign made sure everyone knew they could seriously win Mississippi. By 8pm, Eric Fehrnstrom was on CNN telling Anderson Cooper that no one really thought Romney would win Alabama or Mississippi.”.... ...”In heavily Republican Madison County, MS, voter turn out barely topped 7,000 voters. In 2008, when the GOP contest was done and everyone knew McCain would be the nominee, 10,500 people still turned out to vote for McCain. Yes, more Republicans turned out to vote McCain in 2008 than Romney in 2012. ”..... Footnotes: fn1 Though,interestingly,the closer we move to the GOP convention,the less convinced Romney is of man's role in Global Warming.One wonders what will happen if he gets the nomination.Will Man's role increase again?
