A quick look at religion in the exit polls:
- Mormons made up 14% of Arizona GOP primary voters; Mitt Romney, who is Mormon, won them with 91%. Those numbers are up slightly from 2008, when Mormons were 11% of total, and Romney got 88% of them).
- In Michigan, GOP primary voters who identified as Catholics (30% of the total) voted for Romney (43%-37%) over the staunch conservative Catholic, Rick Santorum.
- But Santorum won evangelicals/born-again Christians (42% of total) by a wide margin -- 50%-32% over Romney.

It looks like Santorum wasn't even able to hold onto the Catholic vote in Michigan. Why should I be surprised? Who wants to be associated with a hateful theocratic extremist like Santorum...not that Romney was a big improvement, you understand.
Either one is better than Obama.
With only the right wing lunatic fringe to vote for them, I doubt those two losers will ever get closer to the White House than to drive by it in a tour bus.
Obama by default in November! America is holding an election and the Republican Party isn't going to show up!
Who? on earth would vote for santorectum? Who? Good Lord. Tons of holy water and an exorcism would not save him......he should be pope in the mideast.
It was the hateful Atheist extremists who sent big bucks to defame Santorum; people who paid attention to what the candidates said, however, voted for him.
The forces of light and reason sent the evil religious extremist Santorum down to his inevitable failure. It was a righteous victory for normal Americans and a harsh blow to the ignorant, intolerant, and hateful cultists to supported him.
And the networks wont call Michigan for Romney, why?
MSNBC is hard to distinguish from the Comedy Channel...
The giggly, incoherent ranting left-wing loon Rachel Maddow is "anchoring" MSNBC coverage...how can anyone stand watching their coverage, other than Obama zealots?
Poor Chuck Todd has to report to the loopy Maddow...MSNBC was better off with Keith Olberman...
Are you serious? Keith Olberman is the biggest sensational idiot on tv today. Current tv media is a joke, They say they are independent. I guess if they say it people will believe it.

Not even the Pope.
Pope Benedict XVI called health care an “inalienable right,” and added that it is the “moral responsibility of nations to guarantee access to health care for all of their citizens.”

Incredulous that frothy mouthed bigot is standing before the people in Arizona in his concession speech saying healthcare is not a right.
Does anyone know if he always speak in such angry tones? He sounds like he is manufacturing anger and frothiness.
Well said, Bev!
What does Romney have to do with Santorums comments except that you have hate for republicans. Your closed minded views are obvious.
Do you have any idea what you are talking about?
Yes I do. I see your posts on here, the same thing over and over again, and it looks like you are preaching to the choir. You feel safe in numbers and that is why you feel comfortable posting where many blind followers will support your closed minded nonsense.
Your blithering ravings are not a ringing endorsement for you being a sane and rational person. Do you slobber when you talk?
Do you think when you talk. Insults and hatred are the only thing that you understand. I have seen this from your idiotic pitiful postings. You are a lunitic and should be locked up in the loony bin. See this is how you like to converse. All democrats are morons and have little to work with up stairs. I feel much better now and everyone will know you are crazy because I have insulted you moron.
Your post has fail written all over it, hfy. Nice try, though. Come back and visit when you sober up, okay?
Typical, more insults. My comments are right on the mark. How do I know? You have no other answers except insults. That is all you have. Hatefull person..... I don't drink or do drugs.
Are you sure?
Using a liberal blog site as facts to support an argument, thats adorable.
FYI sailcat is an imbecile, which he proves in 100% of his posts.
I think the general verdict is that the cesspool backed into your gene pool, trudat. It explains a lot, doesn't it?
Looks like the republicans are in a race to see who can turn America in a religious run country like Iran the fastest.
The republicans can do it with the new ultra-sound laws that turn women into second class citizens without the right to make choices about her own body with the government forcing her to have unnecessary medical treatment to access her constitutional freedom of choice for their religion.
The republicans can do it with the new push to make most birth control illegal to make us all Catholic now.
The republicans can do it with the new person-hood amendment with making the egg worth more than the mother for their religion.
Now for religion we are to no longer have our children educated as it takes them away from religion like it did Santorum.
The icing on the republican religious takeover of America is when Rick opening stated that JFK made him sick because Kennedy believed in the constitution.
Want to see what it like to live in Iran, vote for a republican and find out.
What a bunch of junk.
AF, please don't speak in "the republicans" terms. Be specific when, where these things were said by a Republica n and it will help your case. When anybody categorizes all the people in a group as being the same, that is ignorant.
I'm really surprised that Paul didn't do a lot better in Az.
The southwest has a strong libertarian streak... with a lot of issues, but immigration isn't among them. In a Republican primary, I would guess that's a litmus test, and Ron Paul is the least ardent of the "keep 'em outers." In fact, push comes to shove, he's never reversed himself from his LP nominee days, when he presumably backed the LP platform that called for open borders.
The libertarian idea is if you strip away the social safety nets, then the only people who would come are those who had jobs. So why not let them in?
You all hate Santorum and hate is exactly what you preach against. There sure is a lot of irony in that. You then spew out hate against any viewpoint that isn't like your narrow liberal closed minded view. You guys are real geniuses aren't you??????
I don't hate Santorum, I just don't think it is his right to force me to live by his religious beliefs. Isn't that why we first came to America to free ourselves from religious persecution? The freedom of religion as well as the freedom from religion.
Santorum has stated he has no intention of following the church/state separation written in our constitution so very many years ago because it makes him sick to think that religion is not allowed to rule our lives.
I can understand Rick's opposition to higher education, because it doesn't take much to no longer believe his drivel.
It isn't hate of Santorum to oppose his stance on certain subjects like, opposing the right to marry anyone you choose in America. If the religious right oppose giving a marriage sacrement to gays they should support a civil union act in every state. Then churches could decide to whom they wish to give the marriage sacrement. States aren't really marrying people they are allowing people to legally bind to one another and catholics, evangelicals and mormons shouldn't be able to dictate who can do this in America. States should simply quit calling it marriage and call it what is really is and guys like Santorum should mind their own business.
Wake Up Republicans !! There is no way in H$77 that Santorum can beat Obumma-the Democrats voting for Santorum in the primary are attempting to get Santorum to become the Republican nominee so that a win by their guy Obumma is assured! The Republicans need to stop all this support of Gingrich, Santorum, and Paul and get behind Romney-He is the only one who can defeat Obumma---Get It ???
