Wouldn't it also take an act of God for Republicans to nominate the father of Obamacare?
Mitt Romney's campaign
says their guy is a stone cold guarantee to win the Republican nomination ... unless God has a problem with that:
Mitt Romney's campaign gathered the national press corps in their campaign war room this morning to deliver a simple message: It would take an "act of God" for any candidate not named Mitt Romney to win the Republican nomination.
Now I know they were just using a figure of speech, but I'm not sure that's a figure of speech I'd recommend using in today's Republican Party ... especially when Rick Santorum is their main opponent. And I definitely wouldn't use that language while
taking Santorum voters for granted:
“The areas we didn’t do as well in are rural and they are more anti-Obama,” a senior campaign aide said. “We feel very confident about how we’re going to do in those counties.
At least they are realistic enough to realize these voters will never like Mitt Romney. Of course, that means they are betting their success in these areas on hatred of Obama, not the strength of their guy. And whatever they do, they really aren't that important anyway:
“And in fact we did best in those counties we’re going to have to score best in order to win the [general] election in Ohio,” the aide added, referring to areas around the cities of Columbus and Cincinnati.
Newsflash, guys: President Obama got more votes than Mitt Romney in last night's primary. And he doesn't even have a primary to worry about—there was no reason for anyone to vote in it. And he still did better. You don't have the luxury to taunt your opponents. And you certainly don't have the luxury of dismissing your opponents supporters as irrelevant.
