Illinois primary results: Mitt Romney wins

Unfortunately, the delegate count in Illinois is so crazy, this could on until June for sure. Then there is the case where in 25 counties the ballets were too big to fit in the ballet box to be scanned. What kind of election process are they running? Oh well, congratulations Willard!!!

Mitt Romney is projected to win the Illinois primary Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press, padding his delegate lead and once again forcing his Republican opponents to find another moment to mount a guerrilla challenge to his campaign.

Romney led in every poll in the run-up to today’s vote. A Public Policy Polling survey released Sunday even showed him with a 15-point lead over Rick Santorum.

While Santorum campaigned in the state and spent money there, an adviser to his campaign acknowledged before the polls had even closed that the state was likely lost to Romney.
