... it could probably work with some kind of flower motif. Pink over green's common enough on flowering plants.

What? Flowers are awesome. Bugger that gender association nonsense, eh wot. But yeah, venus flytrap suit. Or watermelon. Nothin' tastes sweeter than a watermelon rind.

Not particularly, except that he's adamantly refusing to accept the idea that he's almost certainly not going to win.  More something something college is anti-American, and bombing Wisconsin Planned Parenthood outlets is not good guys but it still shouldn't exist in the first place, and so on and so forth.

Oh yeah, and despite the national chairman of the Republican Party, Reince Priebus (look it up) saying the RNC is being Wisconsin governor Scott Walker 100% Do or Die come Hell or high water, neither Republican wunderkind Congressman Paul Ryan nor any of the Presidential candidates will come within fifty miles of the guy.  That'll be fun tomorrow.

Wait, there are Republicans who will go near Scott Walker? I thought he was doomed when he got more recall signatures than original votes.

Polls Romney likely to win Maryland by 20 points or so and he'll most certainly take DC by storm, but Romney's 10-point lead as of last week has weakened to about 6-8 point this morning. Still likely to win but it won't be the thumping he was hoping to give. Of course, WI is winner-take-all, so a 50.1% victory is just as good as a 65% victory would be in terms of the horserace.

Romney looks like he's gonna pick up around 75 delegates on Santorum tonight.  Exit polls still haven't registered a Santorum delegate tonight but he'll probably pick up a congress district somewhere.

Somewhat surprised to see that Santorum is loosing every congressional district in Maryland.  I figured he would scrape one out in the west or the east.  But he's losing even the more socially conservative counties in Maryland.

At this point I think it's a matter of time before Santorum drops out.  There's no way he can avoid a Romney majority.

It doesn't matter at this point. Everything will be decided at the convention.

No, Romney will almost certainly have a majority before then.  Look at this: http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/fivethirtyeight/romney-probabilities

Edit: Interesting to see that Ron Paul edged out Gingrich in all three contests.  Changes nothing but it shows how irrelevant Gingrich has become.

Yeah, last night was the beginning of the end as far as the GOP race goes. But of course, Santorum isn't going to drop out yet because he still has races in Pennsylvania and Nebraska coming up which could go well for him. And Gingrich is just in it for the lolz at this point. Plus he may think he still has a chance to ride that Dixie cachet to victory in North Carolina (he won't). Ron Paul will hang around just because Ron Paul.


EDIT: Oh, and just in case there was any doubt, Barack Obama officially clinched the Democratic nomination last night.

I really hope he keeps his rally out of downtown when he comes here, or confines it to a hotel somewhere. I really don't want to have to listen to Santorum blaring out of over a PA system echoing over half of downtown.

Then again, if his researchers are worth snot, they'll probably realize coming to Lincoln to stump is a waste of time and money.

Bleah, Gingrich is in town here today. At least he's not doing any public events here.

Haha, when you talked about "downtown," I pictured Rick Santorum setting up a stage in downtown Philly somewhere and the sheer mayhem that would erupt. I'm pretty sure hundreds or thousands of streakers in rainbow garb would appear out of nowhere and rush the stage, among other things.
