An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Tennessee Win For Santorum
Rick Santorum won Tennessee’s Republican presidential primary on Tuesday, giving the former Pennsylvania senator a key victory in the South.
With 12 percent of precincts reporting, Santorum had 41 percent to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s 28 percent.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who won his home state of Georgia on Tuesday, was in third place with 20 percent in Tennessee, despite campaigning heavily in the state. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul had 8 percent.
I do have to admit, this does make me happy. Of course, I would have been happy if Newt had won the state as well. But, since he didn’t, but did win Georgia, this whole thing is getting more interesting. Santorum also won Oklahoma, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, it seems that Mittens won in Vermont, Virginia and Massachusetts. Right now, it looks like Santorum is in the lead in Ohio, but they’re saying it’s too close to call with Rick at 38% and Mitt with 36% (9:14pm).
Now, my question….since Ron Paul is barely making a showing in most states, will he do us all a HUGE favor, and drop out? When it comes to fiscal issues, he’s a whiz. It’s when he starts talking about foreign policy….Katie bar the door…the man’s cheese done slid off the cracker! AND, if he does drop out, will he please tell his supporters to stop acting like horse’s patoots, and join the rest of us in working to get Barack Hussein Obama OUT of the White House? I mean, after all, this IS what we need to do to save our country!
