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 …

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, …

Former House speaker, who is running in fourth place in the polls for Tuesday's GOP primary, blasts Obama in speech before lukewarm crowd.
Sticking primarily to his conservative fiscal and social message, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich stumped on Marquette University campus Thursday evening during what appears to be the sunset of his campaign. During the hour-long rally, the former speaker of the House spoke of several of his proposals, including creating a personal Social Security savings account system, establishing policies that would encourage energy independence, and creating a job-training requirement for those that receive unemployment. "If you sign up for money, you have to be trained by a business," he said. "Remember, 99 weeks is long enough to get an associate’s degree and yet, we have given millions of people 99 weeks of money." Gringrich worn a …

The Republican presidential primary election is Tuesday, and a poll out today has Mitt Romney ahead of Rick Santorum by five points.
Another poll indicates that if Wisconsin voters cast ballots today, Mitt Romney would come out the winner in the Republican presidential primary. Using a sample of 403 likely voters, the St. Norbert-Wisconsin Public Radio survey shakes out like this: Voters were interviewed between March 24 to March 28 and the poll has a +/- 5 percent margin of error. The St. Norbert-Wisconsin Public Radio poll also asked respondents their top reason(s) for supporting their candidate. Not surprisingly, voters who participated in the survey named jobs and the economy their number one concern. Healthcare and the budget, including the deficit, taxes and spending, round out the top three. While Santorum led Romney by double digits late last month, March …

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.

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 ›
