Overjoyed Romney Celebrates Voters Hating Him Marginally Less Than Santorum

Overjoyed Romney Celebrates Voters Hating Him Marginally Less Than Santorum
Mitt: ‘Voters Want the Lesser of Two Evils, and I am Lesser’

BOSTON – Moments after squeaking out a razor-thin victory in Super Tuesday’s crucial Ohio primary, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was in an exuberant mood, telling supporters in Boston, “I stand before you tonight as the man people hate slightly less than Rick Santorum.”

Mr. Romney said that he hoped to take the momentum of being marginally less despised than Mr. Santorum all the way to the Republican convention in Tampa.

“The voters of Ohio have said that they want the lesser of two evils,” he told the crowd, “and I am lesser.”

Meanwhile, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich vowed to stay in the race, noting that voters in his home state of Georgia hated both Messrs. Romney and Santorum more than they loathed him.

“This race isn’t about winning or losing,” he said. “This is about me standing in front of a microphone and listening to the sound of my own voice for as long as possible.”

And former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin hinted that she might have a role to play if the GOP contest becomes deadlocked: “Remember, it was my historic lowering of the bar that made this Republican race possible.”
