FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
For much of the night in Ohio it appeared that Rick Santorum, the
ultraconservative Catholic would score a victory that would have trumped all
talk of ‘delegate math’, since no Republican has ever won the White House
without winning Ohio.
With three-quarters of the votes counted, Mr Santorum, a social conservative
who appeals to the religious right wing, was still 15,000 votes ahead, only
to be overhauled at the last minute as Mr Romney won by 12,000 votes from a
total of 1.2m cast.
The race now moves to Kansas on Saturday, followed by Mississippi and Alabama
next Tuesday, all of which, pollsters say, are likely to fall to Mr
Santorum, who has strong support among evangelical Christians.
Mr Romney might have to wait until early April when states more aligned with
his moderate position, such as Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware and the
District of Columbia get to vote, further dragging out an already drawn-out
race.
Analysis of the exit polls clearly showed the problem that Mr Romney could
face in a general election matchup, as he lost to Mr Santorum among men,
voters under 65, non-graduates, independent voters, Democrats and voters
earning less than $100,000 (£63,536) a year.
David Axelrod, Mr Obama’s top strategist, made clear that the Obama campaign
would pull up Mr Romney on issues where he had been forced to tack to the
right to compete with Mr Santorum’s appeals to the party base.
“They’ve run a very tactical race, trying to grind victories week after
week taking positions that they think they need to prevail,” Mr Axelrod
said, “but there are consequences to that. This is not a game: you’re
running for president and we’re going to hold him to those positions.”
The result in Ohio was close enough to encourage Mr Santorum to press on,
despite the Republican establishment wanting to see an end to a race that
polls show is diminishing Mr Romney personally and draining campaign coffers
of funds that he will need to fight Mr Obama.
John Thune, a South Dakota senator frequently tipped as a possible
vice-presidential nominee on the Romney ticket described the race as “kind
of a painful chapter” which now needed to be closed.
“There is a point at which we’re going to have to conclude if we’re going
to win in the fall we have to get behind a nominee and start focusing on our
real opponent,” Mr Thune told the Politico website.
But Mr Santorum, whose backers called yesterday for his fellow conservative
Newt Gingrich to step out of the race after a disappointing Super Tuesday
showing, believes that Mr Romney is winning a war of attrition only by
outspending his rivals by a ratio of five to one.
Hogan Gidley, a spokesman for Mr Santorum, likened their campaign to the New
York Giants American football team, which last month stole a late win over
Mr Romney’s team, the New England Patriots, in the game’s season finale.
“I’m sure Governor Romney would have like to have stopped the Super Bowl
at half time and let his Patriots win, but we’ve got a second half to play,”
said Mr Gidley. “We’ve got 28 states left and we’ll keep on pushing
forward”.
