They looked at the polls, every single one showing Mitt winning, and decided not to even say anything about Arizona. I wonder how many people just found out that Arizona has a primary the same day as Michigan when the candidates came here for a debate? Our primary is WORTH MORE DELEGATES SINCE IT IS WINNER TAKES ALL. Somehow, they have made Michigan more important because Rick has a better chance there or because the midwest is better than the west, or what? I have no real explanation. THE CANDIDATE WHO GETS THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF DELEGATES WINS! I guess the media hasn't gotten that memo.<br /><br />Of course, if--when--Arizona votes for Mitt then it will be because "of the Mormon vote." Nonsense! It is widely believed that Matt Salmon lost his race for Governor here because he is a Mormon. Guess who he lost to? Janet Napolitano. We all know how that has turned out for both Arizona and the country. :) Wish we could rewind the tape on that one.<br /><br />AZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-81114735219337997782012-02-24T11:21:39.444-05:002012-02-24T11:21:39.444-05:00Look when all is said and done Mitt will bring all...Look when all is said and done Mitt will bring all the pundits ie.

Sanotrum is part of the dysfunctional system and is not qualified to be president,especially since he has not lead anything in his entire life.<br /><br />I still will never forget his support of Specter over Pat Toomey. By the way,Specter was interviewed on CNN yesterday and he said there was no such deal between him and Santorum regarding judicial appointments. In other words Santorum completely misrepresented why he endorsed SPecter. I wonder why this little bit of news is not showcased on FOX.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-8894718053989933612012-02-24T08:46:03.073-05:002012-02-24T08:46:03.073-05:00Absolutely right Bosman.

A great call out by Mitt Romney with this comments on Santorum’s support for Arlen Specter. This was a definate blow that took the air out of Santorum. Romney needs to continue to hit that home with the public. They need to continue to dig to inform the public that Santorum is two-faced. Loved it when Santorum kept saying, I voted for it but should not have or I did not believe in it but I took one for the team and voted for it. What a flip-flopper. They need to continue to vet those items as well as his illegal charity, the usage of his PAC funds, his relationship with Jack Abramoff and K-street, his voting record, etc, etc. Great job on this forum with the great articles and with offering the chat box – great place. They need to vet the entire K-street relationship – Watch the Gang of Four starring Rick Santorum http://www.youtube.com/user/GichiGumiPress?feature=mhee – There is a reason that Crew listed him as one of the most corrupt politicians in DC. Romney needs to speak with his friend Senator McCain and get the real scoop on Santorum. I read that McCain has yet to release the documents from the K-street scandal – anyone else confirm this?

Winning only caucuses means you have the support of only the hard core party member who attend such meetings. A primary win demonstrates wider appeal, and Santorum does not have that.
