Mitt Romneys campaign has said he is almost certain to be the US Republican presidential candidate, as his Democratic opponents mock his long death march to secure the nomination.
Despite collecting six victories in the 10-state bonanza known as Super Tuesday, including in crucial Ohio, the flawed favorite failed to knock out chief rival Rick Santorum and the race was set to drag on for weeks or months.
Romneys campaign has sought to keep up the air of inevitability he has maintained on and off for months, saying nothing short of an act of God would keep him from facing off against Democratic President Barack Obama in November.
But in the meantime, Democrats are savoring the prospect of more bitter Republican in-fighting and relishing the chance to fill Obamas campaign coffers as Romney drains his in the increasingly costly state-by-state slog.

(10,857 posts)All Romney and the GOP has to do to avoid near-total destruction is:
* Win back all the people who lost jobs from the Republican crash;
* Win back all the people who got jobs after the Republican crash, without Republican help;
* Win back all the people who got a raise for the first time in eight years when the minimum wage was raised by the Democrats;
* Win back all the people who lost their homes;
* Win back all the people who lost their pensions;
* Win back all the people who had their tax cut extensions held hostage by the GOP;
* Win back all the people who want those extensions further extended;
* Win back all the people who lost family members and friends in our various spurious wars;
* Win back all the people who were harmed by 9/11, who waited for bin Laden to be hunted down for seven years under George Bush;
* Win back all American women.
Mitt Romney is going to be just fine if he can just get all of the people the Republican Party has directly and personally harmed over the past eleven years to die or otherwise not vote.
But if he can't, he's on his way to one of the more resounding defeats in American election history.

(21,925 posts)especially since the process is now shifting to the highly Christian Evangelical south. Personally speaking, the only thing I like about Romney is the fact he doesn't mention God every two seconds, unlike Santorum. But the reason Romney doesn't dwell on religion may be because he doesn't want wingnuts to know that as a Mormon he believes in the God Elohim who lives on the planet Kolob, who visited Earth 2,000 years ago and had sex with and impregnated the Virgin Mary, and that Jesus is the son of an alien from outer space. I think this is Santorum's ace in the hole and it could potentially throw Romney's inevitability train right off the tracks. I'm just curious as to why Sans-scrotum isn't using this.
