Illinois Votes!

Post by HB3 » 03-20-2012 04:39 PM

I've been trying to ignore politics for the last week or so, waiting for the Santorum nightmare to end. Tonight we have another shot at it. Romney is expected to win, big.

Here's the Google elections page!

Romney aims to widen lead with Illinois win

(Reuters) - Front-runner Mitt Romney appeared poised to widen his lead in the Republican presidential race with a victory on Tuesday in Illinois, where polls show he has a comfortable edge over top rival Rick Santorum.

Romney hopes a solid win in Illinois will give him a fresh burst of momentum in the volatile campaign for the White House and persuade Republicans to rally around the former Massachusetts governor and end an increasingly bitter nominating battle.

Romney has more than twice as many delegates to the nominating convention as Santorum, and Romney's campaign has argued that his rivals cannot catch him in the contest to pick a challenger to Democratic President Barack Obama in the November 6 election.

Two Illinois polls on Monday gave Romney double-digit leads over Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania. A Public Policy Polling survey said Romney led Santorum by 15 percentage points, and an American Research Group poll put the lead at 14 points.

Don't you find it unusual there is nothing posted yet?

Usually you see something right at the closing of the polls.
