Romney would have won Michigan by 11 points not 3, had it just been Republican OR won by 6 points had it just been Republicans, Independents and those who chose not to self-identify.


I agree, in a race this tight, the Democrats raiding the primary can have a major influence.

Ohio is a closed Primary, so unless you want to change your registration, which most folks wont bother, I wouldnt count on too many Dems helping out Santorum

Actually, Ohio holds a semi-open or modified primary which does lend itself to raiding by the other party to some extent. However, not as much as a totally open primary does.

Weren't you the one who ordered me to stop with the sexist crap? Why is it okay for you to do it and not me? You sound like the racist, sexist dems during the last election who said wouldn't it be great to have a black man or a woman as president. If you can do it then so can I. It's only fair kitten.

You need to get a grip. This is a poll discussing the demographics that are supporting which candidates. It is not inferring that I am only supporting Mitt Romney because he is...what was the wording you used...'dreamy'. That is sexist. It amazes me that those who make sexist or even racist remarks are usually either too ignorant or too self absorbed in their own agenda to even realize it.

Ohio Exit Poll:

Romney won the Republican votes by 4%

Santorum won the Democratic votes by 20%

Margin of victory looks like 1%... So...

So you don't know and you have no proof.

Conspiracy theory?

Don't know why there are so many Romney cheerleaders on here... have you guys seen his top donors? ALL WALL STREET BANKERS... the same clowns that played a big part in the worst recession since the 1930's.... and you want a guy that represents their interests 1000x

What about a guy that represents the people that built this country... you know... THE MIDDLE CLASS

Little early to roll out the excuses, isn't it?
