US Election

Romney rules Super Tuesday

BBC Online
US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has crowned a string of Super Tuesday victories with a wafer-thin win in the swing state of Ohio.
As expected, he cruised to victory in his home state of Massachusetts, as well as Idaho, Vermont andVirginia.
Romney also won in Alaska, which Ron Paul was pinning his hopes on for his only win of the nomination campaign.
Rick Santorum won a hat-trick of contests, while Newt Gingrich took his home state of Georgia.
Romney now leads the field with 415 delegates
committed to backing him at the national Republican convention in August. A candidate needs 1,144 delegates to win the party's nomination and go on to challenge Barack Obama in November's election.
But Super Tuesday did not deliver a sufficiently convincing victory to end the race and convince Romney's rivals to pull out.
After a 10-state voting marathon, Romney defended his position as the front-runner for the party's nomination to take on Obama.
"I'm going to get this nomination," he told supporters in Boston.
He easily won Massachusetts, where he was governor, as well as liberal-leaning Vermont and Idaho, where his fellow Mormons make up a chunk of the electorate.
Romney also cruised to victory in Virginia, where Santorum and Gingrich failed to qualify for the ballot.
But Santorum, a former
US senator from Pennsylvania, said his victories in Tennessee, Oklahoma and North Dakota proved he was the bona fide conservative alternative Romney.
"This was a big night tonight," Santorum told supporters in Steubenville, Ohio. "We have won in the West, the Midwest and the South, and we're ready to win across this country."
Ohio was important because no Republican nominee has taken the White House without winning the Midwestern bellwether state in the general election.
Santorum began the race there with a big lead in the opinion polls, but Romney's well-funded political machine overcame him in part by virtually saturating the airwaves with attack adverts.
Santorum's opposition to gay marriage and abortion has attracted the support of religious conservatives.
But correspondents say his outspoken remarks on birth control and the role of
religion may have turned off moderate-leaningvoters.
Exit polls showed Ohio voters thought Romney stood the best chance of beating Obama, however, Santorum appealed more to blue-collarvoters.
Gingrich, the former House speaker, failed to reboot his campaign and did not achieve the sweep of Southern states he hoped for.
But he vowed to stay in the race after his Georgia win.
"There are lots of bunny rabbits to run through, I am the tortoise. I just take one step at a time," Gingrich said.
The drawn-out nomination fight, which has been waged in large part through negative television adverts, has taken a toll on the Republican party, polling suggests.
A Washington Post/ABC News poll showed only 35% of Americans looked upon Romney favourably, compared to 32% for Paul, 23% for Gingrich, and 32% for Santorum.
