Illinois Primary Results

I hope Romney wins it by enough to make him more of a typical front runner. Like McCain 2008, George w Bush 2000 or Dole 1996. About time for Romney to wins it by 20 points to start winning states from here on out. Time to redirect our fire power towards Obama! We can't afford a 60 day election season against Obama!

Romney should just drop out. Let the tea party have the GOP, they seem to be on the offensive anyway, so another Obama term will be good for them.

And once again, these poor showings are Romney's fault, he is simply running a terrible campaign.

You could say that about the whole republican field: Romney, Santorum, Paul and sadly Gingrich. The party is so divided I seriously doubt we can beat Obama, but if we wait until after the convention we're really in trouble.

Low turnout but "beautiful weather" across the state.

I don't think we can beat Obama if we wait until September to have a canidate. Isn't looking good for us at all.

Looking at the numbers I doubt Romney beats Santorum by more then 5-6 points. Santorum holds conservative, under 50,000 a year and rural(4 points). This pretty much says that Santorum will hold the 12, 15 and much of the central, southern parts of the state. Not looking like a total blow out.

Very conservative on cnn appears to be Santorum 48% and Romney 34%=14 points. PPP shown 15 with that poll.
