Romney to declare victory Tuesday in New Hampshire
Even though this Tuesday’s primaries are in Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island, Romney will hold an election-night victory party in…Manchester, New Hampshire. Why New Hampshire, when Pennsylvania is not only a big prize in terms of delegates but one of the perhaps three most important swing states in the general election?
Because to the campaign, New Hampshire is the logical place for Romney to declare victory in the long primary season. “Gov. Romney kicked off his 2012 presidential campaign in New Hampshire,” says a member of the Romney team. “Tuesday will mark the semi-official end of the primary campaign and Romney will become the presumptive nominee. The campaign will come full circle in New Hampshire.”
Romney has titled the New Hampshire evening, “A Better America Begins Tonight.”

Are you kidding? After his win in Iowa (where he actually lost) it was expected to be a sweep of the whole country.

There you go again. Many had said that because he had won Iowa, it wouldn’t be surprising if he swept, but no one realistically believed that. That was just a statement made to reinforce how surprising Romney wining Iowa (thought to have won Iowa anyway) was. But let’s go with your theory, just for your sake. Considering Romney led momentarily in SC, the lead all but disappeared after what happened with Newt. But before that, Newt was expected to win there anyway because SC is in his backyard. The fact that Romney took the lead there at all is once again indicative how good his organization.
By the time AL and MS came around, Romney was no longer thought to “sweep” was he? Others had won other states at that point. Once again, your argument fails.

All except for the little ‘bot contingent, which is as arrogant and nasty in victory as it is in defeat.

I would ask if you sensed the irony in your statement but because of the bubble in which you live, you probably didn’t.

I wonder if this will turn out to be Mittens’ “Mission Accomplished” moment.
History does tend to repeat.

Yep. To illustrate just how curmudgeonly he is, while it was universally acknowledged that dog-gate has been hilarious, he alone was not amused.

Do feel free to keep on laughing. we will continue to party on like it’s 2010:
Tea Party roars: Six-term incumbent Sen. Orrin Hatch forced into primary
From another report:
Hatch used an introduction video featuring Gov. Mitt Romney as he appealed to the party establishment in the heavily Republican state. Liljenquist stoked the passion of his voting base by declaring that “No senator is too big to fail.”
OK!!! !POOF! goes Mittens coat tails.

I’m not much of a Hatch fan, but come on. Let’s put things into perspective. This isn’t like Bennett finishing in 3rd place at the convention. Hatch finished first and fell short by 0.9%. Was he forced into a primary? Sure, but he’ll end up winning the primary and I don’t even care for Hatch. I supported Lee over Bennett and Bridgewater.
So you’re saying that endorsements don’t matter? I’m shocked! Palin couldn’t deliver Alaska for Newt, either. What does that mean?
I appreciate your consistency, but Tea Party politicians have started to coalesce around Romney (Haley, Johnson, Rubio, etc.). Allen West has also said that he would probably take the VP nod if asked.

I would LOVE to read ANY article making that claim as I am privy to TEA Party discussions and our Plan B leaves Romney OUT of our future actions.
DannoJyd on April 22, 2012 at 3:59 PM
You didn’t know that Nikki Haley, Marco Rubio, Ron Johnson, Pat Toomey, and other Tea Partiers have endorsed Romney?
