It appears that in areas where the Bible takes precedence over God and Man, Romney is not doing too well. :surprised:

Black enough to not have been eligible for the priesthood during the ban.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

But not natural enough to be eligible for President.

Obama's slogan: We will buy this election with the tax payer's money spent on two $1 trillion dollar "stimulus" packages (spent on our cronies) and the multi trillion dollar white elephant Obamacare.

Doesn't look like Santorum or Gingrich were on the ballot in Virginia.

Considering the vast sums of money spent, should Monsieur Rommers have not done slightly better?

There are some things, even in American electoral politics, that money can't buy. It can get an organisation, ads and attention. But it cannot make you engaging, compelling or authentic. In short, it can't buy you love. And as Mitt Romney keeps showing, week after week, if the voters don't really like you, then you just have to spend as much money as you can making sure they don't like anybody else either.

Of the ten states that voted on Super Tuesday, Romney won six and bagged the most delegates. Ordinarily, that would be a great night. Until you realise that Newt Gingrich (who wants to build a colony on the moon) won one, Georgia; and Rick Santorum (who is against contraception) got three, Tennessee, North Dakota and Oklahoma. The totemic prize of Ohio went down to the wire.


I wonder what the 'cost per vote' value would look like for each candidate...

Everyone knows that Clinton was the first black president. :wink:

Would people in the States vote for Hilary?

From a distance she seems like a really credible option for the first female President. (but would that make Bill the first lady?).

Before Super Tuesday he was at about $110,000 per convention delegate.

The bizarre reality show known as the Republican race drags on, and now it appears there will be no Republican nominee before the convention.

Romney mainly wins in the northeast and the Mormon corridor. He can't win in the South or the evangelical Midwest.

Looking at the delegate count, it looks as though he's not going to get to 1144. That will make for an entertaining convention.
