| + | <div class="entry"><p>Here’s how bad Super Tuesday was for Mitt Romney. At the same point in the Republican race back in 2000,outlet chanel, George W Bush swept Ohio by 58 to 37 percent. That’s what happens in most GOP races: the frontrunner establishes their advantage on Super Tuesday. Fast forward to 2012 and Mitt Romney scraped a lead in Ohio of just 1-2 percent. He’s a lame duck frontrunner – idly waiting to lose his own nomination.</p><p>The exit polls out of Ohio were shocking. Romney won among people over 65 who went to college and earn at least $100,000 per year. The Republican Party’s one aesthetic advantage over Obama was that the President comes across as snooty and out of touch. Incredibly, Mitt Romney makes him look like a latter-day Robin Hood. Romney is the boy at school who we all hated: the rich,Takeaways face chip ban during school hours - Telegraph, good looking kid with a briefcase who threw birthday parties that you only went to because they were really expensive. He’d be standing by the bouncy castle – sixteen years old in a cravat – giving everyone a warm handshake. “Hi, I’m Mitt Romney. Thanks for coming. Grab some cake.” Meanwhile, Rick Santorum is dropping spiders down a fat boy’s neck and Newt Gingrich is running around in a Buck Rogers costume (this is despite being in his early twenties).</p><p>Meanwhile, it was a night of wonder for Rick Santorum. His previous defeats in Michigan and Arizona, plus some bad culture war press,Richard Spencer – Telegraph Blogs, had caused many of us pundits to write him off. Instead he snatched victories in Oklahoma,chanel, North Dakota, Tennessee (in other news,Mulberry uk, Ron Paul’s 41 percent in Virginia was stunning and worthy of greater media attention).</p><p>I watched the returns from London, England – and you had to be there to get a sense of how tight things were. At midnight,ghd hair straighteners, it looked like a Romney walkover. He had won Vermont handsomely and enjoyed a healthy early lead in Ohio. Gingrich took Georgia, but no one cared because it’s his home state. Next year Newt will probably be buying houses in 49 other states to increase his chances for 2016.</p><p>At 1am, news broke that Santorum had taken Tennessee and Oklahoma. By 1.30,ray ban 3025, he was enjoying a 6,000 vote lead in Ohio. Thanks to rural returns, that grew to 16,cheap ghd,000 by 2am. That’s when things really got hot, and I broke open the Jaffa cakes. Santorum won North Dakota at about 2.30 and it seemed like Romney’s front runner status was all gone. Rick gave a victory speech and said that he’d been “pumping iron” in preparation (swoon). Then, at 3.30, Cleveland’s rich suburbs started to hand in their results. Santorum’s lead dipped lower and lower: 6,000 by 3.35, 2,300 by 3.45…</p><p>…Somewhere in the middle of all this, I entertained a hallucinatory fantasy of Rick Santorum being inaugurated – by the light of a burning heretic. I saw him put his hand on the Bible (Latin version) and read the oath with his unique “Are you kidding me?” expression. A million spectators rounded off the event with a rosary. Two hours later,ray ban wayfarer, the planes were headed for Iran and Planned Parenthood had seceded from the Union…</p><p>…Then, at 4.10am, Romney suddenly squeaked ahead. Not only was Santorum not performing well enough in urban areas to win,Mulberry uk, but he was doing poorly in delegate totals. Ultimately, Mitt had outspent and out organised him.</p><p>After five hours of swinging to and fro,borse burberry, what had the Republican primaries proven? That the party is woefully divided and that its logistical frontrunner,Napoli claim to have reached agreement with Rafael, Mitt Romney,Mulberry handbags, is disliked by his party’s base. Santorum is the cool kid at school who has the looks and the football skills. But he doesn’t have the money or the brains to go any further. Twenty years down the road, Mitt is head of his very own accountancy firm and Rick is shooting cans with a BB gun from the window of his trailer – a sad row of silver medals hanging from his wall. There will be no inauguration.</p></div> | ||
