The New York Times: “Romney adds 3 victories and clashes with Obama.”
The Washington Post: “Romney bolsters his case to GOP with triple win.”
The Wall Street Journal: “Romney rolls up three wins.”
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: “Romney hat trick.”
The Wisconsin State Journal: “Romney tightens grip on GOP nomination.”
The Green Bay Press-Gazette: “Romney takes state, momentum.”
The Baltimore Sun: “Romney sweep.”
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: “Santorum steels self to extend campaign.”
The Philadelphia Inquirer: “With hope fading, Santorum staying in.”
GINGRICH: “Gingrich said Tuesday he is committed to carrying the banner of bold conservative colors all the way to Tampa to ensure, in his words, ‘the Republican Party never abandons the timeless conservative principles,’” the AP writes.
ROMNEY: “Mitt Romney won the Maryland Republican presidential primary broadly and deeply, besting chief rival Rick Santorum among conservatives as well as moderates and emerging as the runaway favorite of those who care most about beating President Barack Obama and fixing the economy,” per the AP. “The trend was similar if less convincing in Wisconsin, Tuesday's other big win for Romney, where he made inroads with the right but faced a strong challenge for the votes of the young and evangelicals.”
GOP 12’s Heinze: “For months, Mitt Romney’s detractors have warned that he’s too moderate to win hardcore conservatives, too rich to connect with downscale voters, too cautious to rally Tea Party supporters, and too Mormon to convert evangelicals. Tuesday’s primaries, however, show these demographic groups suddenly moving into Romney’s camp.”
The New York Daily News’ lede: “Welcome to November.”
SANTORUM: The L.A. Times: “Rick Santorum rolls a gutter ball in Wisconsin GOP primary.”
Though Santorum refused to get out of the race last night, the Boston Globe’s Johnson writes that he “has begun to concede the 2012 race in his own way.”
More of this is likely to come… Charles Krauthammer said Santorum should drop out. “He's got a future,” Krauthammer said on Fox, “and why would he want to run three weeks from now in his home state where there's no upside? He's expected. He's expected, you're expected to win your home state. ... If he loses in his home state, he undoes all the good he did up until now….”
So does Matthew Dowd…
And John McCain, a Romney surrogate. (By the way, when asked on CBS who Romney should pick as VP, he joked, "I think it should be Sarah Palin.")
The Philadelphia Daily News’ Baer: “Now that the Elmer Gantry tent-revival that's Rick Santorum's campaign finally is collapsing, he should fold it up and forgo his unofficial home-state primary.”

Krauthammer has a point on Santorum and Pennsylvania.
It's just as I predicted all along. Those Republicans supporting Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum are beginning to coalesce behind the eventual nominee, Mitt Romney.
Beating Obama is important, but, considering Obama's dismal record, is not very difficult. The most important concern is if our next President for eight years, Mitt Romney, has the business experience and leadership qualities to fix the horrible Obama economy, and reunite all Americans under the banner of a true righteous leader.
Mitt's record speaks for itself. He is the chosen one to lead us out of the Obama darkness into the light of Republican prosperity.
No joe. Actually, this whole primary has been a disaster for Romney. Rick and Newt said they are not going to give in. Mitt will get the nod but it's still going to be awhile. He's got plenty of time to go before he can reach the delegate count. There is no unity in the Republican party.
The chosen one? Oh man, that's something I never thought I'd hear about the guy even Republicans acknowledge is a bald faced liar. Candidate of last resort, maybe. Chosen one? Lol, that's funny.
Mr. Parent,
Please remind us when we had a period of prosperity during a Republican President in the last 12 years! If you would look at historical economic facts you will find that in the last 50 years the U.S. economy enjoys greater economic growth under Democrats! This is reported by the rather conservative Bloomsberg News. Also, please point out what Sen. McCain would have done differently to get our economy out of the worst rut since the Great Depression.
But the thought inspired the following Gospel of Willard:
He rodeth into town, to accolades and palms, saying we needeth, to write us some new Psalms
So he took his magic rock, put it oe'r his eyes, saying no I'll assume, my new deceiving guise
He retranslated his life story, made himself sound just right, but of his own party, two-thirds didn't bite
So he was chastised, abused and profaned, if this was Singapore, even would be caned
Yet on the third day, he rose in the polls, because after all, he faced only trolls
So now he's chosen, despite all the lies, despite his own party's, pain and anguished cries
Three Cheers for Romenycare!!
Obama 2012
WOW Joseph you're kind of full of yourself this morning. You're also full of it. I hope you don't really believe what you posted above. I'd hope your smarter than that.
I was once blind, but now I see.
Mitt Romney will be the Great GOP Nominee.
You need some serious glasses
Joseph, with the lastest attack against the SCOTUS to uphold his healthcare law I think I now see where this is going. idi amin obama's comments on Treyvon Martin had nothing to do with Treyvon it was a test to see what response he would get. Now the fight with the Supreme Court has gotten a response from a lower court for his eric holder to answer the question if this administraction believes the SCOTUS can over rule a federal law. Now the next step is if the SCOTUS over rules the healthcare law then idi amin obama will incite civil unrest and try and stop the election and possibly enact martial law. As many have said this man is a narcissist and no one is allowed to tell him no. As you and I know when this happens then and only then the majority population of this country will respond and it is not going to be pretty. This July 4th will be 236 years of independence and and almost 150 years since our last civil war.
Bob Jones,
Your delusional prediction of the President's motives and actions is one big whopper! It is not uncommon for President's to comment on cases before the Supreme Court. This is what leadership looks like. To link our President with the likes of a mass murderer is a new low. What facts have you got, Mr. Jones to back up your crap?
Den from WA,
Yes, some former president's may have made comments prior to a SCOTUS ruling, but THE BARRY made it sound like a threat. The Supreme Court will be the 'blame' for his unconstitutional law, not THE BARRY.
He's just posturing because he knows his signature legislation is a failure.
The guys isn't a leader, just a blamer. Look at his record and who was at fault. Not the Barry.
I personally will NEVER vote for any canidiate who is a Mormon ( a cult) for office, that aside the GOP is going to GIVE this election to Obama. If Romney is the best person you could come up with- then this is a sad day. Pick a person at random from the millions of Republicans in this country and they would have a better chance of getting elected. He is NOT to be trusted and has flip floped on many occasions-looks like 4 more years of Obama.
Wall Street and Big oil got their man or grinning hyena depending on your perspective.
Romney needs to repudiate and disavow the rants and flagrant vilification of women with required medical procedures. If he does not, he does not deserve any woman' vote. Any and all politicians who voted into law, legislation that curtails a woman's right to medical treatment, does not deserve to be re-elected. Romney says the president hides his agenda? We learned that Romney paid just 13.7% taxes on his 2010 income of 21 million dollars. Many American's paid a greater percentage than he did on less income. His tax lawyers and accountants helped him get around the tax code and he did well. Romney doesn't care about the poor. They are taken care of by the Social programs America has in place until he gets into office and helps rid them. Romney's wife drive two Cadillac's and never sees the poor cause she doesn't go anywhere near where these people barely exist. We should question Romney's intent on releasing the wolves of Wall Street, Big Banking and Oil and Gas Giants and companies like Enron Enron, Adelphia, TYCO and Worldcom where investors lost billions. It is grossly obvious Romney and the other TEA-GOP-Republican candidates want to kill the Social Programs we have in place. Look at his comments on Medicare and Medicaid. Look at Eric Cantor wanting to off-set hurricane and flooding damages up the East Coast in the budget. And then there is Paul Ryan's attack on America's Social programs in his recently released budget. They attack entitlements and defend the elite super-rich from tax increases.
Which Romney is going to run against Obama, the liberal, the moderate, the conservative, or the right wing extremist? His most recent incarnation is the latter, and so is the Ryan social attack budget. But, all those former Romneys will soon face each other on the Etch-A-Sketch, in the media, and with the help of the Democrat Party and the administration. Romney will need to create some of the best lies of his career, but smarter people are watching him.
Warren Buffet. The most successful investor in history, has his own personal seven rules for investing. Number seven?? "don't be afraid to break your own rules."
Now some of you may view that as flip-flopping. I view it as being flexible and open minded. And you just can't argue with Warren's success rate.
This is a reflection of Mitt's business acumen also. He is flexible and open minded. He is a winner.
Obama is like a child who is failing at everything except blaming everyone else. What a pathetic loser Obama turned out to be. What a great disappointment. It's no wonder no one can see Obama's school records. He is embarrassed by them.
