Romney triple play; Gingrich statement

51st State Tavern, Washington NW
It's been a very good Tuesday for Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor won all three of today's primaries: Wisconsin, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Karl Rove just said on Fox News that Romney only needs to win forty percent of the remaining GOP delegates to win the nomination. That is quite do-able.

Rick Santorum finished second in the first two, he wasn't on the ballot in DC.

Newt Gingrich didn't have a good night. But he did issue a statement:
To defeat President Obama and change Washington, our party must commit itself to a bold, conservative platform. We cannot win on an etch-a-sketch platform that shows no principle or backbone. The Washington establishment wants to declare this race over, but I am committed to carrying the banner of bold conservative colors all the way to Tampa to ensure the Republican Party never abandons the timeless conservative principles of Ronald Reagan and the Contract with America.
