It all comes down to Ohio. No Republican has ever won the presidency without wining Ohio. Each candidate has a chance to gain delegates in one of the ten states voting on Super Tuesday. What will the results show?

Romney pulling away with a margin of .8 %. I guess that was a petty dead-locked prediction. "No Republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio" That just made the whole situation a huge deal. Looks like Santorum isn't winning the presidency… #ohno
ReplyDeleteI don't think that Santorum will see it in the eyes of the past Republican Presidents, as he only lost by 1%. I still don't believe any Republican has a shot of winning though because no candidate this year are as likeable as the candidates of the past. These candidates are all shooting themselves in the feet while handing Obama a plaque for being awesome.
ReplyDeleteWith the margin of victory being so slim for Romney I think there's no doubt that Ohio has not decided who the candidate is going to be this November. However I will say that this was a big win for Romney. No matter how close, a win is a win and this race will continue being close for the rest of its days.
ReplyDeleteWell, even though Romney barely won, he did get the delegates. with this win, it truly made him look the winner of Super Tuesday, and he is far ahead in delegates, i think almost 300 ahead of Santorum. So i think it has almost been decided who the nominee for the GOP is.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alex. With a win as close as Romney's was in Ohio, you can't really say that Ohio's election really made that big of a difference in the race. Yes, it gave Romney more delegates and pushed him ahead even more but he won in the state by less than 1%. Although Super Tuesday pretty much determined a spot for Romney on the ballot come next November, the Ohio primary itself didn't do much to show how the GOP race will turn out in the end.
ReplyDeleteRomney's going to win the election. Now it's just the fact of how much more money he wastes and support he loses before facing Obama this November.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to agree with Alex as well. Romney didn't win by much so Santorum could still have a chance. Who knows what will happen with this nomination. This win was still a pretty big one for Romney, though.
ReplyDeleteI think that winning the Ohio election with a big margin of victory is alot more important than simply winning the election. I do not think that it comes down to if Romney wins Ohio, he wins the election or vis versa with Santorum. I do not think that Ohio will be a big indicator of who is going win the election.
ReplyDeleteWinning ohio handedly is not just an important factor in not just winning the primary but its a statement. The importance of winning Ohio is huge for anyway candidate. Although Romney won Santorum is still hanging around and is still in the race for the republican candidate in the upcoming presidential election.
ReplyDeleteFrom Santorum's standpoint it makes sense to hang in the race. Losing by a mere .8% is nothing to give up your chance on the ticket over. Santorum is still too extreme to have a shot in the general election but in the end I don't think it will make a significant difference. Romney is campaigning for the top 1% and as this primary continues it hurts his shot at the presidency more and more.
