Coming up next in the Republican Presidential primary schedule are Connecticut, Delaware, New
York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. But it doesn't matter much any more since Rick Santorum is
out of the running and even though New Gingrich and Ron Paul are staying in the race.

Mitt Romney will win all of those states on April 24 and get that much closer to the delegate
count needed to officially make him the party nominee.
|
| |
|
"Romney feels he will win all the delegates," said a stubborn Gingrich, "but I am still here and
that means trouble going to Tampa because the true conservative, Newt Gingrich, is not running
away like Santorum, Newt Gingrich is simply running."
|
| |
|
Santorum has left but has not endorsed Romney yet; nor has he spoken to Gingrich about his
"delusions," as one political analyst called Gingrich's continued candidacy.
|
| |
|
A poll conducted worldwide indicated that 100 percent of all the people asked said Mr. Romney
would get the nomination. This included people who could not understand the question of the
poll, as told in English.
|
| |
|
Assured the nomination, though Romney doesn't admit it without the exact number of delegates (a
number his staff constantly reminds him is more than a thousand), the former governor is
campaigning against the President, not Gingrich or Paul.
|
| |
|
"Who?" Romney said and laughed on a campaign stop when asked about Gingrich and Paul staying in
the race. "Or is that whom? Because you mentioned two people. Unless that is the name of a tool
company, you know? Gingrich and Paul Tools, Incorporated?"
|

|
Ron Paul spoke at a rally in New York recently and told supporters not to give up.
|
| |
|
"How can I put this?" he said to a score of cheers. "Don't give up. The constitution allows us the
freedom to keep going, never giving up, even after we lose we know we won't quit."
|
| |
|
Reporters asked Paul if that statement was a forecast of running as a third-party candidate.
|
| |
|
"What statement?" Paul asked and then continued his speech at a nearby fast-food establishment
where he invited everyone to go as long as they paid for their own meals.
|
| |
|
Gingrich, meanwhile, is said to be in heavy debt, having lost his major-money supporters.
