Romney Wins in Illinois

On Tuesday, Mitt Romney walked away with a win in Illinois, thanks to his usual moderate supporters as well as some of the more radical groups, like some Tea Party members. Why the change in supporters? According to exit polls, voters say they are voting for a candidate that will win in November...apparently a slightly more moderate Republican candidate will have a better chance at beating Obama.

However, Romney didn't leave Illinois without a comments. Not only is Romney confident that Santorum doesn't stand a chance, but Romney continued his crusade against Obama. According to a New York Times article:

He belittled Mr. Obama’s experience as a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago and as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, saying the president was ill suited to lead the nation to economic prosperity.

“It’s time to say this word: enough. We’ve had enough,” he said. “We know our future’s brighter than these troubled times. We still believe in America, and we deserve a president who believes in us, and I believe in the American people.”


Mr. Romney's right; we have had enough. Why don't we talk about some of your policies?

I think that as the race has gone on, and voters across America have gotten a taste of what each candidate can bring to the plate should he become the nominee to fac Obama, I think people are focusing more and more on electability. While Republican voters surely still want someone who promotes the same values as they do, many are beginning to focus on and throw their support behind the candidate they believe stands the best chance against Obama.
