FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
However, Mr Romney’s failure to enthuse the party “base” in two of America’s
most conservative states will add to mounting concerns that he would be
incapable of rallying enough support to beat Mr Obama in November’s general
election.
He has consistently lost to his rivals around the country among evangelical
Christians, who made up 80 per cent of the electorate in Alabama and
Mississippi. They tend to be repelled by his moderate positions on abortion
and gay rights in liberal-leaning Massachusetts, while some have said that
they are also wary of his Mormon faith.
His latest defeats mean that he will also be forced to continue fighting a
party primary contest that opinion polls suggest is damaging his reputation,
and which is costing him and his allies millions of dollars that they had
intended to use against the president in the autumn.
Highlighting the vast gulf in spending power between them, Mr Santorum said Mr
Romney had “spent a whole lot of money trying to be inevitable.” He added:
“Who would have thought in the age of media that we have in this country
today that ordinary folks can defy the odds day in and day out?”
Attempts by Mr Romney’s aides to downplay the significance of the results –
which came after polls indicated he would win or finish a close second in
both – were rubbished by the Democrats. After Eric Fehrnstrom, a senior
adviser, told CNN: “I don’t think anybody expected Mitt to win Alabama or
Mississippi”, they pointed out that the candidate himself told a rally in
Mobile, Alabama on Monday: “We are going to win tomorrow”.
Mr Gingrich, who won the Deep South’s two prior contests, dismissed calls for
his departure and pledged once again to fight until the convention in Tampa,
Florida. “The elite media’s efforts to convince the nation that Mitt Romney
is inevitable just collapsed,” he told a rally in Birmingham, Alabama. Ron
Paul, a libertarian Texas congressman, finished a distant fourth in both
contests. Mr Romney was predicted to win votes in Hawaii and American Samoa.
Tuesday’s primaries marked the half-way point of the race for the party’s
presidential nod. After a “beauty contest” caucus in Missouri on Saturday,
focus will fall on Illinois, where a potentially crucial primary will be
held next Tuesday. A loss to Mr Santorum there would revive severe concerns
about Mr Romney’s campaign and indicate that he may not reach the 1,144
delegates needed to win the nomination outright before the convention.
