Hi and here we are with the numbers that I’m sure Rick Santorum likes!
With 99% of the precincts reporting and a little over 182,000 votes tallied, Rick Santorum wins with 91,305 votes and 49% of the total. Mitt Romney came in second, with 49,749 or 27%. Newt Gingrich was next with 29,665 and 16% of the total votes. Ron Paul came in fourth with 11,460 and 6% of the total votes. (more…)
Louisiana Belongs to Rick Santorum!
This U.S. flag is flying proudly in the breeze.
I’m going way out on a limb here and predicting that Rick Santorum is going to win the Louisiana primary election today.
With 60% of the precincts reporting, Santorum has received 49% of the vote and has a 23% lead over Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich has garnered 17% of the vote and Ron Paul has 6%. So, with such a large lead, we here at AmericasNextPresident.com are projecting Rick Santorum to be the winner in Louisiana tonight. (more…)
Illinois belongs to Romney!
This U.S. flag is flying proudly in the breeze.
The State of Illinois held their 2012 primary elections on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 and believe it or not, Mitt Romney won the lion’s share of the vote for Republican delegates, with 46.7% (430,535 votes) vs. 35% (322,831 votes) for Rick Santorum, allowing Mitt to add to his delegate lead. Ron Paul received 85,872 votes, which equates to 9.3% of the vote and Newt Gingrich garnered 73,362 or roughly 8% of the vote.
This now gives Romney 552 delegates and Rick Santorum now has 249 delegates. A lead of slightly over 300 with only 1279 delegates left to be awarded. That would seem to indicate that Mitt Romney is now the odds on favorite to win the Republican nomination to represent the party in the November 2012 Presidential Election. The battle is even more of an uphill one for both Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. (more…)
Romney adds 20 more delegates
The Flag of Puerto Rico
On Sunday, March 18, 2012, Mitt Romney added another 20 delegates to his count and increased his lead heading into the Illinois and Louisiana primaries later this week. Mitt was able to garner nearly 83% of the vote in Puerto Rico to be awarded all 20 delegates that Puert0 Rico has to offer.
As of today, Mitt has 489 delegates to Santorums 237. Newt Gingrich now has 134 and Ron Paul has 69 delegates. These numbers are the “pledged” delegates only. The lead is increasing for Mitt Romney and if it keeps going like this, he just might wrap up the nomination in late June or early July. At that point he could (and should) really launch into full campaign mode for the 2012 Presidential Election and the race for the White House. (more…)
Rick Santorum Sings Sweet Home Alabama
This U.S. flag is flying proudly in the breeze.
Well, not really, at least not that we’ve heard…but it wouldn’t surprise us at all after the primary voters today in both Alabama and Mississippi chose Rick Santorum over Newt, Mitt and Ron.
Yes, it’s true. In the race for the 2012 Presidential election, Rick Santorum made up some ground on Mitt Romney and put some distance between he and Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.
Now, to be fair, these were not blowout type victories, but they were victories nonetheless.
In Mississippi, Santorum got 33% of the vote, Gingrich 31%, Romney 30% and Ron Paul came in fourth with 4%.
In Alabama Santorum received 35%, Gingrich 29%, Romney 29% and Paul 5%.
These were the numbers with 99% of the precincts reporting in both states.
Congratulations to Rick Santorum for his First Place finishes. Congratulations to Newt Gingrich for finishing in second in both states. Congratulations to Ron Paul for continuing the fight and not giving up. And congratulations to Mitt for continuing to lead in the delegate race. I’ll say a little more about this a little later in this note.
This is shaping up to be quite a race to be America’s Next President! (more…)
Two More States, Two More Winners
Hey, thanks for stopping by again and welcome to this quick update.
On the 10th of March, 2012, the Republicans held two more primary elections in the race to see who will be America’s Next President!
Those states were Kansas and Wyoming.
Kansas belonged to Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney won in Wyoming. Guam, The U.S. Virgin Islands and The Northern Mariana Islands all held their votes on Saturday the 10th also, and the delegates from all were awarded to Mitt Romney. There were 25 delegates in total for Romney, between the three. 2 of the delegates should be going to Ron Paul. (more…)
10 States and 3 Winners
Hi and welcome back.
I don’t know if you are aware of this, but Tuesday, 06 March, 2012 was “Super Tuesday” here in the United States. Yes, in the race for the nomination to represent the Republican party in it’s quest for the office of The President of The United States, yesterday was the day 10 states had their primaries or caucuses. (more…)
Michigan and Arizona belong to Romney
The Race for the White House is On
In the 2012 race to be Americas Next President, Arizona was an easy victory for Mitt Romney, as none of the other candidates really even campaigned there. Romney won the 29 delegates that state had to offer.
Michigan had 30 delegates, and they are to be apportioned according to the vote received by the top two candidates. Since Rick Santorum took about 38% of the total vote, and Romney won 41%, we can guess that the split will be about 14 for Santorum and 16 for Romney.
Neither Newt Gingrich nor Ron Paul campaigned much in either state and their advertising spends were almost non-existent.
There is still a long way to go, but our best guess is that Romney now has 168 delegates, while Santorum has about 86 after Tuesdays vote. 1144 are needed to win the nomination this year.
In Michigan, a couple of weeks ago, Romney was trailing Santorum by anywhere from 3 to 10 points, depending on which poll you watched. By outspending Santorum on mostly negative advertising (3.8 million to 2.2 million), he was able to reverse that gap in only 2 weeks. Who says advertising doesn’t work? (more…)
Are We Getting Ready For War With Iran?
Iran is making more threats and we, or more correctly, the U.S. Navy is on the way to make sure they behave! (more…)
John McCain says he is Appreciative of the Muslim Brotherhood
John McCain's official Senate Photo
John McCain recently did a concise, although far-reaching, interview with the good folks over at Newsmax.com. The
McCain interview can be seen here.
If you don’t want to watch the whole video then here are the bullet points.
- The Attacks on Sarah Palin were and still are merciless and they make no sense, especially coming from the women on the left. Under Alaska law, even though she was governor, she had to cover her own legal expenses. She just couldn’t afford to keep the job any longer, so that’s when she resigned.
- He thinks (as do I) that issuing a formal apology to the Afgan authorities was a sign of weakness. He says he would not have done it that way. (more…)
