The more things don’t change, part 3 2012 from primary to election The dynamic that shaped the Republican primaries is now shaping the Republican campaign for the White House: Future nominee Mitt Romney is continuing the Rick Santorum strategy of going for the leftovers.

Big state, soft support–Primary results in Texas
Texas Primary Results 2012: Big state, soft support Unofficial results are in for the Texas primary, and on the Republican side Mitt Romney wins with 71 percent of the vote.

The 2012 GOP primaries and the politics of neglect
2012 GOP primaries–Santorum wins most Wisconsin counties but loses Wisconsin More primary results, mostly predictable, in the GOP primary season, and another reminder of the importance of being able to do math and to reason. Case in point, Wisconsin, carried by Mitt Romney along with Maryland and D.C. As previously written, former Pennsylvania governor Ed [...]
The Big Ho-Hum from Louisiana
From Louisiana, a big ho-hum for the primary fight SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER As was predictable,* Rick Santorum won Louisiana’s presidential primary Saturday. Also predictable, the word ‘evangelicals’ has been all over the air waves. Again predictable, almost all of the commentary has come from people who have not lived in Louisiana, not stayed here for any length [...]
The 2012 GOP primary race; Illinois today
2012 GOP primary race–today, Illinois Today, the Illinois primary.

Target demographics in 2012–How the GOP primary race has been shaped Reluctant as I am to post on a beautiful Saturday morning in March Madness (the wearing o’ the green worked its magic a day early this year)–still, a new Gallup poll out yesterday reinforces the previous post. So, following up– Recapping, the argument for [...]
The 2012 GOP primaries–Delegate math and stupid ridicule
Math wins, numbers of voters still count in elections–open convention coming? Another cluster of primaries, a new current argument about the GOP primary season. Now the question hovering over the political reporting is whether Newt Gingrich can be pummeled into getting out of the race. His sister suggests not. Candace Gingrich-Jones, in an excellent [...]
The 2012 primaries have finally defined Santorum territory and Romney territory
The 2012 southern primaries yesterday marked a clear dividing line–finally If the GOP primaries have established a consistent pattern, it is that the dividing line for the Romney-Santorum-Gingrich threesome is rural appeal versus metropolitan/suburban appeal. Santorum has the less populated counties almost all to himself, in most states; Romney and Gingrich battle it out for [...]
The 2012 southern strategy and a GOP pincer movement on Afghanistan
2012 southern strategy and the giant pincer movement on Afghanistan The political equation of winning-and-losing is far from the most important point about Afghanistan.
