FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Pressing his credentials as the “contrast” candidate with the
elitist Mr Romney and Barack Obama, he promised to return America to its
pioneering roots.
“We are not in this thing because I so badly want to be the most powerful man
in this country, but because I want so badly to return the power to you,”
he said, to one of the loudest cheers in the night.
But in truth, everyone gathered around the televisions in the cafeteria at
Steubenville’s High School which had hosted Mr Santorum’s rally, knew that
it was Ohio that really mattered.
Even as Romney’s campaign machine pointed to the “delegate arithmetic” that
made their candidate the favourite, it was clear that a victory in Ohio
would have overridden maths.
Long after Mr Santorum had finished speaking, his supporters stood staring up
at the screens, shuffling their feet and chewing on finger nails as if
watching the closing minutes of a vital ball game.
“Everything is at stake here,” said Vincetta Tsouris, “Santorum’s the one who
understands us, while people like Mitt Romney just forget about us. He just
has to win.”
Many pundits agreed: victory in the Buckeye State would have confirmed what
the Santorum campaign had been saying all week: that Mitt Romney, a
multi-millionaire management consultant who spent $12 million blitzing the
state with negative advertisements – is not a man who can stir the heart and
soul of America.
Even by 11pm, some four hours after the first results arrived, the Santorum
dream was still flickering with life, as the results ticker showed the
former Pennsylvania senator still a few thousand votes clear with 86 per
cent of districts reporting.
But it was not to be. The Santorum campaign might have been within touching
distance of the finish line, but with 90 per cent of the votes counted Mr
Romney pulled ahead for the first time, inching 5,000 votes clear at 11.05pm
thanks to an influx of votes from the urban counties where he was strongest.
It was over.
Not even the presence of four Franciscan nuns, who had come down from their
convent to support Mr Santorum, a strongly conservative Catholic, could
overturn the dawning reality that victory had slipped from their candidate’s
grasp at the last.
Slowly, the last remaining supporters moved for the exits, disappointment
mixing with defiance. “Yeah, it sure is heartbreaking,” said a 52-year-old
Bill Weiss “but when it’s this close, in this many big states, Santorum’s
not going anywhere, you can bet on that.”
