Romney wins Illinois

Mitt Romney won the Illinois primary after out spending Rick Santorum 7 to 1 and some reports say it was 20 to 1 in Chicago media market. Rick's shoestring campaign, lack of discipline and poor organization is not going to be enough to catch the former liberal Governor of Massachusetts. Santorum again didn't have a full slate of delegates on the ballot. He was in Gettysburg tonight and will make his last stand in Pennsylvania on April 24th.


Mitt Romney 428,434 46.7%

Rick Santorum 321,079 35%

Ron Paul 85,464 9.3%

Newt Gingrich 72,942 8%

This comes after Romney's blowout win in Puerto Rico after Senador Puertorriqueño told the residents of the island to learn English. Then he told a state with a 9%+ jobless rate "I don't care what the unemployment rate is going to be. It doesn't matter to me. My campaign doesn't hinge on unemployment rates and growth rates." Romney's camp beat him over the head for both remarks. Even though Paul and Gingrich are still in the race they are diminishing factors.

This Saturday Rick is favored in the Louisiana primary then DC, Maryland and Wisconsin look better for Romney.

As the Man on Dog vs. Dog on Roof contest continues some interesting polling was done by PPP looking to the fall.
