This is hardly a glowing endorsement for Romney. It is all for naught. This character is going to be back home fixing his father's Rambler in November. He's probably pretty good at that!

Well Wayne, he won.

Kind of the point, right?

Despite all the dire predictions by the oh so smart usual suspects here.

Including the Pom Pom waving "Journalists" that run this site.

I'm not sensing any bias from this blip; its all the other crap promoting Romney before these things.

WCA,

Question is, even if Romney wins the popular vote, how many delegates will he get? My understanding is they are awarded by congressional district. Do you have any information on that?

It won't count until November. Then you will have to wait until 2016. Obama/Biden 2012!

WCA, bias? The republicans themselves were claiming that if Romney lost Michigan it would be a crushing blow to his candidacy. FR is merely repeating the truth--it would have been.

Santorum lost the Catholic vote in Michigan. No wonder he was trying to take back is "throw up" comment this morning about JFK's speech.

Obama/Biden 2012!!!

Phine, they were talking about it here earlier, but quite frankly, it was to dry for me to hang through.

I'm sure by tomorrow morning they will have it figured out.

Santorum will definitely get some delegates. Don't know how close to 50-50 it will be.

Here's a link to a story trying to explain it. Good to read if you are having trouble falling asleep!

WCA, bias? The republicans themselves were claiming that if Romney lost Michigan it would be a crushing blow to his candidacy. FR is merely repeating the truth--it would have.

Obama/Biden 2012!!!

Thank you Jody, somehow I don't think Stiff Collar gets it. Oh please don't let Romney sing or mention another tree!!!

Thanks, WCA. Be interested in seeing how that plays out.

How about this instead:

"Despite an organized effort by Union Democrats to cross over and vote for Rick Santorum and an additional push by Santorum's campaign urging Democrats to Cross over and vote for him, Mitt Romney heads toward Super Tuesday with some much needed momentum after a victory in the Michigan primary.

So WCA - I see projections for GM sales in Feb. are in the toilet.

Given gas hitting $5.00 [yep, out here is sunny Cali, with our special blended gas we hit that already] what do you anticipate GM's stock decline to be?

Last I saw GM makes literally all it's money off Silverados, Tahoes, and other gas guzzlers.

Funny part is they asked Chu what they were doing to bring gas down and he admitted they are doing nothing. Nope, working on increased battery life.

Fantastic.

Spanky, what does your current rant have to do with tonight's election results? Please read the article and try responding to it, if you are able.

Oh so phine - you are the boss of me now?

I no think so. I only have on boss and she is correcting Jr.'s math homework.

Now how about you let me and my fellow car guy have a chat?

Mehehe Romney gets almost beat in his home state and that is why he will win in november? LOL that doesn't even make sense.

Apparently there is always crossover voting in that state. I would say a more ringing endorsement for Romney is that he beat Santorum with catholics (thinking they didn't like him saying Kennedy made him sick.)

I think he is a weak candidate, John Kerry was a weak candidate. Being certain he will beat Obama is a fantasy, he is definitely in the disadvantage. Romney just doesn't connect with people, my biggest issue with him is the norquist pledge. How many people really know that they signed a tax pledge? Will the democrats use this in november? I can't imagine why they would not.

Shhh Spanky. That's the nasty little secret. But nobody wants to talk about it.

If people aren't buying SUVs and Trucks, the Auto Industry is in trouble.

In 2008 high gas prices were the catalyst that pushed the industry over the edge.

GM and Chrysler have been doing better, but the Industry is no where near stable enough to deal with $5 gas.

Just to help out,, the Govt is now going to require that all cars have rear view cameras by 2014. OEM Cost is about $200 which will add about $400 to the cost of each and every car.

Good timing, eh?

Tell me WCA, why are the republicans holding up the Keystone pipeline? One governor refuses to give the go ahead, who happens to be a republican, and they let morons blame Obama.

Tell me WCA, why is Romney wanting war with Iran, that would mean even higher prices. Why did he say he didn't care about gas prices?

Jan! Are you using FACTS against WCA? Are you trying to make him cry or something?

If they are going to back these candidates as our saviors, I think there are some things that need explaining. The facts are backing Obama, not the republicans and its killing them. Actually social issues are killing them and the confounding not attacking Santorum on his outrageous statements.

More costly mandated OEM equipment.

From what I see, particularly gas - GM is gonna hurt. As is EVERYTHING else. our economy cannot sustain anything over about $3.50 per gallon.

Well at least Obama was honest - he wanted $8-$10 gas, and now he's getting it.

Well at least all those UAW humps will be getting their $7k check from Gm. Too bad GM owes us $50 billion. Oh just what will MSNBC talk about come March when GM shares are down to $5.00?

See Spanky, that is fear mongering and lies. Obama never said he wanted 8-10 dollar gas, in fact its rather obvious you know nothing about how global oil really works. I had to laugh at Santorum fisting a piece of shale oil and announcing it as an answer. Its 20 times more expensive to process it.

If you want higher gas prices, war with Iran is actually a good way of going about it.

The rearview cameras are for pedestrian protection. Apparently 228 people a year a killed by cars backing up.

I have been involved directly with the cameras as they are offered as an option on some high end vehicles.

People don't use them over the long haul. Short range radar works better and is cheaper.

I wonder what Obama Donor owns a rearview camera company?

The camera costs to the industry will be about $2.7 billion/year. (Well I should say to the consumer, cause the OEM's won't eat it)

Keep any eye on the GM stock. That single daily data point will be a harbinger of the state of the auto industry. I'm not feeling to comfy right about now.

WCA, by your candidates view, GM should be dead in the water right now. Why exactly are you even caring about GM?

Because the auto industry was saved by President Obama in spite of the efforts of the Party of Nope to destroy it, and now the votes of the hundreds of thousands of people whose jobs were rescued by his decisive action now belong to our president and not one of the losers of the GOP.

WCA is just bitter.

I know, resorting to social issues reeks of desperation. They would still be better off sticking to the economy and jobs, lying through their teeth about the numbers.

Jan, I have repeatedly explained Mitt Romney's position here. Not going to do it again.

He was right. Both companies DID go bankrupt. After the taxpayers and bond holders got screwed and the Unions got paid.

If you want to really understand it, go to my account and find one of the many times I explained it to the stuck on talking points crowd here at FR.

Have a nice night.

Usually FR is gone by the time I get around to reading, I have my own opinions and most of the time republicans are surprised at how fiscally conservative I really am. The numbers just don't support any of these candidates, and you didn't answer for Norquist, and why you think them running the country and the president is a good idea?

I have two cars with cameras and they work great. In fact with the cameras and back up sensors I rarely even turn my head. But then again these were high end cars.

Silly Jan - seems like she [he?] simply buys into Obama saved the auto industry. He 'saved' the UAW. Prolonging the misery because they did not make enough concessions. Unlike all the other AMerican car makers, like Infiniti, BMW, Toyota that has a much better cost structure.

Oh and Jan - what did Obama mean when he said our energy prices would 'necessarily skyrocket?' Or when he said he wanted a 'gradual' increase in price towards European levels?

So when he took office I was paying around $2.00. Now, just three years later - $5.00. Gradual? maybe, but unsustainable and the economy is about to implode, a la '08.

So Jan - you got yourself a Volt yet? Come on GM really needs to unload those suckers.

The only part of those LOANS we got screwed on was the part George Bush gave because he gave the money, he didn't make it a loan. I am well aware that it went bankrupt and how the Bush/Obama money factored into how the judge dealt with it. I also know, my father watched it closely because he has a GM pension and was worried, for no reason as it turns out.

You misrepresent things, as if he used the government funds and bankrupted that money.

The numbers do not support your claims Spanky, and I repeat, its very obvious you have zero clue how oil prices work and the effect of a president on them. I am sorry if you believe in Gingrich but he is a joke, got yourself a good piece of land on the moon for 2020?

Hopefully the Jans and Spankys of the US will snap out of it some day. You want to stop the corruption? Then stop voting for the guys being shoved down your throats by the super-PACs and corporate media.

Spanky comes on here every day with his reason of the day for hating President Obama and always blames the President for not fixing the economy, gas prices, jobs, etc. even with the republicans obstruction in congress for everything that could do good for America.

Even the obstruction by the republicans is President Obama's fault for having the audacity of being elected by the majority of the people.

If hate was the answer to our problems, we would all be driving Cadillacs.

"If hate was the answer to our problems, we would all be driving Cadillacs."

I'm surprised that isn't already a GOP campaign slogan. No, wait...that would mean they would have to endorse the rescue of the auto industry by President Obama! Never mind, then. It's still a catchy phrase, though.

who is the man? What are you talking about, I voted for Obama last time and I will vote for him again. I am fiscally conservative but honestly so is Obama. I won't be voting for another republican until these blatant overreach on womens health stops. And I can only hope they can get one of those conservatives off the supreme court so they can overturn citizens united. Its horrible.

I'm talking about someone that wants the government out of our lives more than anyone being supported by the duopoly. There are a handful of them around every time around and they're always deemed to be "unelectable"; not by the voters but by the big money air-time contributors months before the primaries.

Ok and me voting for Obama correlates to that how? Are you a Santorum fan or something?

Interesting.... NOT! Obama is gonna make Romney cry come debate time. Romney has no personality, charisma or intelligence for that matter.... cant wait til Obama hands him a whooping!!

Have you all heard of the line "Winning Ugly". Thats what mitt the ripper did. He won ugly. This is his home state he should have won hands down.

Obama Biden 2012

"You all need to take a break from your hate..."

You seem to be the only one ranting and raving around here, WCA. You need to pull yourself together.

Gonna be a landslide come Nov. Know how come you know Obama is panicking?

He just launched a campaign to get the black vote.

Oh my!

He already lost Alan Dueschwich [?} over Media Matters [how funny that Brock, and huge anti-gun guy makes his assistant carry a concealed gun to protect him?], but now he needs to shore up the black vote?

The GOP is a party of exclusion, not inclusion, and that is not a strategy for winning elections. By establishing itself as the party of the white male right wing lunatic fringe, it pretty much has boxed itself out of a win in November.

I will be looking for you guys the morning after the election to see your heartfelt congratulations after a solid win by President Obama! Don't forget to bring your tissues!

Just saw that the LightSquared top guy stepped down amid rumblings that he may have acted inappropriately in his efforts to sway the Obama administration.

But what the hell, it almost worked.

I can't wait for the General Election.

The Ads are just writing themselves!

Lightsqaured was fantastic. Heads are gonna roll.

But hey - this administration has no scandles, right?

Not Sloyndra, LightSquared, Fisker. And sure as hell no Fast and Furious.

THe ads really do write themselves. Just plaster Chu and his admission they are not doing anything to fix gas prices. I'm sure everyone is cool pulling up to fill up these days.

Every time a Republican candidate or elected official opens his or her mouth they are scripting an ad for Obama. Like I said before. You cannot make this stuff up.

Well, you are a clueless moonbat like the rest of the crowd in here, so your opinion is based on nothing but mindless Obama worship.....

Robert do you understand what a primary is?

Why do people on the left so sorely lack any historical perspective?

Go back and see what percent Obama was pulling in back in the 2008 primaries.

Obama got a little under 40% while losing Michigan in 2008. Of course he wasn't on the ballot and the state was disqualified for going early, so maybe not a very comparable scenario.

"Clueless moonbat" ? You must be referring the mindless Republicans trying to find their way to Republican Gringrich's new colony. Along with the other clueless over the top rightwingers.

Newt is now a distant echo coming from planet Marshmallow Moon

Someone hand Newt a shovel, please

I've thought that a few times. Calling every state home just because you own a house in it doesn't mean a whole lot when you're Mitt Romney. Every candidate should wish they could connect like that, pshh!

Bill Fitzgerald-2020106

Amazing speech last night by the class Romney! Funny, off the cuff, pleasant, so opposite of teleprompter obama who would never be able to give a speech without someone writing it for him. So long obama, your damage to this country will be remembered always and especially at the end of this year which is the end of you. Go back to kenya.===========Nothing racist about you is there Bill? BTW I heard Mitt was using a TelePrompter. I understand that his handlers won't let him speak on his own as he makes too many mistakes.

One of us apparently doesnt understand the meaning of racist, im pretty sure it isnt me. Keep pulling the card, regardless how inappropriate it is.

Arent all of obamas speeches to the UAW, whether directly or indirectly; he lies to the people, panders to the ignorant, and gives everything to the unions.

Well i guess thats a redundant list since everyone already knows he's a democrat.
