Ohio is the next 'last important primary'


If you remember when "Michigan is it.", "Florida is the end of the road.", and "South Carolina will decide it all" you'll love 'Super Tuesday: GOP looks for an Ohio finale.'

Via Politico:
Super Tuesday might be the end of the line.

Not officially, of course, but after Mitt Romney’s squeaker win in Michigan and polls showing him gaining ground in Ohio, high-profile Republicans are beginning to call for the curtain to fall on the brutal and brutish presidential primary.

After watching with nervousness as Rick Santorum rattled Romney in the Midwest, many Republicans now see little chance for the insurgent former senator to stop Romney if he loses Ohio Tuesday. And from Romney boosters to neutral party officials, those Republicans are eying a moment for the seesawing race to come to a close after March 6.

Leonard Curry, the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, a state that will play an important role in the general election, told POLITICO, “I’d like it to wrap up just from a purely practical standpoint, which is financial resources. We’re spending money and the Obama team is not.”

“I think Republicans are getting tired of the process,” New York Rep. Peter King, who hasn’t endorsed a candidate but has defended Romney from Newt Gingrich attacks in the past, told POLITICO. “It’s just constant repetition.”
I think Republicans are unhappy with the candidates.
