All three primaries — including Wisconsin — were called within an hour after polls closed Tuesday. Santorum vowed to continue campaigning into the primaries April 24 on the East Coast.
Although Rick Santorum vowed Tuesday that his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination would continue regardless of what happened at the polls, there’s no doubt that Mitt Romney delivered a bruising blow in three states. The evening started with major media outlets calling the primary races in Maryland and Washington, D.C., less than an hour after polls closed in both locations. The story was much the same in Wisconsin, as the race was called just before 9 p.m. Romney cruised to a sweep in the three primaries Tuesday, and increased his projected delegate total to 640, compared to Santorum’s 264, according to CNN.com. A total of 1,144 delegates are needed to win. Romney remained in Wisconsin on Tuesday and held a victory party …

Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum blame Obama for declaring a 'war on religion' during appearance at faith-based forum in Waukesha. Event tops a full day of campaigning in Wisconsin.
Religious freedom and the American Dream itself are being threatened by the current administration under President Barack Obama — at least according to the three Republican presidential candidates who spoke before a largely evangelical crowd Saturday in Waukesha. It’s been some time since Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum gathered together at the same event, but the Faith and Freedom Coalition made it happen inside a packed hall at the Country Springs Hotel. U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, a Romney supporter, also spoke and received a raucous reception from the crowd. The event was the first of numerous stops in Wisconsin this weekend for the GOP contenders just four days before Tuesday's presidential primary. After speaking in Waukesha, …

After two polls in two weeks put former Sen. Rick Santorum in the lead, this is now the second poll to list former Gov. Mitt Romney in the lead for the Wisconsin Republican presidential primary. The same poll shows a very tight race in the gubernatorial r
A new poll keeps Mitt Romney tops in the minds of Wisconsin voters when it comes to the Republican presidential nomination. In a new survey released Tuesday from Marquette University, former Gov. Mitt Romney is ahead of former Sen. Rick Santorum, 39 to 31 percent, respectively. Congressman Ron Paul pulled in 11 percent and former Congressman Newt Gingrich comes in at five percent. Just last week a poll from Rasmussen Reports had Romney leading Santorum 46 percent to 33 percent, but polls last month, from both Marquette University and Public Policy Polling each had Santorum in the lead by double-digits. "We think it's encouraging, but it's only a poll," said Ted Kanavas, state director for the Romney campaign. "You know, Wisconsin is a …

Political experts say Wisconsin's 42 delegates in the winner-take-all primary could be the final blow for Rick Santorum, or it could be the needed momentum builder to carry him deeper into the election.
Over the past year, Wisconsin voters have gone to the polls to declare a winner in significant, and historic, state elections. As the Republican presidential primary approaches, state voters will once again play a decisive role — this time on a national stage. After three months since the Iowa caucuses, the GOP primary has essentially narrowed to a two-candidate race between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. On April 3, 42 important delegates from Wisconsin will be up for grabs in a winner-take-all election that could significantly alter the complexion of the Republican primaries moving forward. Santorum received a bit of a momentum boost on Saturday, with a resounding win in the Louisania primaries, where he took 49 percent of the vote to …

The Republican presidential hopeful says people shouldn't believe everything they read or hear because he while he is trailing, the math putting Romney so far ahead is faulty and Santorum is not even close to throwing in the towel.
Calling numbers reported in the media "faulty math," Republican Rick Santorum said his race to be the GOP Presidential nominee is far from over. "We estimate that (Mitt) Romney has 42 percent of the delegates, and I have about 30 so that's not that far behind," Santorum told reporters before his Rally for Rick began Sunday at South Hills Country Club. "There's a lot left to this race." Specifically, Santorum is looking forward to the May primaries, which he says are in states that are in his court; places like Texas, Arkansas and Kentucky. "This race is far from over," he stated.

Congressman Paul Ryan says this year's outcomes in Wisconsin will affect a whole generation. And national pundit Michelle Malkin says a Walker recall loss would be "the most damaging thing" in American politics
Wisconsin is "ground zero." Wisconsin is "pivotal." Wisconsin is "critical." Wisconsin is where "the battle will be won." Or lost. Speaker after speaker at the "Defending the American Dream Summit" Saturday in Milwaukee reiterated that this is the battleground for conservatives. It's expected that presidential hopefuls will tell the party faithful that their state's votes are the most important, wherever they might be. But the only such presidential hopeful on the docket Saturday at the Wyndham Hotel was former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum. Yet, speaker after speaker on the docket — be they sitting members of Congress or pundits or organizers at the national, state or local levels — said the same: All eyes are on Wisconsin. The Wisconsin …

Ron Paul should channel some of his energy through his son..Unfortunately a lot of Americans vote on looks instead of qualifications these days..Thank Hollywood for that. I've never been a fan for Palin as President, but I think she plays an important role with what she is good at. Ron's idea's shouldn't get lost or completely pushed under the rug..Just re-channeled. more ›
