I'm Willard Romney Bitches- Don’t you fools understand? I bought your party. - by Charles P Pierce
Romney's (Almost) Opening Day: How to Close the DealBy Charles P. Pierce
at 10:09AM
.............................
Im Willard Romney, bitches, and how you like me now?
See what I did there on Tuesday night? I hammered those punks like ten-penny nails into a wedge of fine cheddar. I am a strong, able Republican with more money than God and an even greater taste for mindless destruction and casual vengeance. I am not a jack Mormon. I am a gangsta Mormon, motherfkers, and the country is my bling. I am Moronis Omar. I am the Stringer Bell of the Great Alkali Plain and the world is mine, whenever I want it. Come at the king, you best not miss. Ill bury your ass like I buried Santorums, under so much money that nobody will ever find it, even though I hear it glows red in the dark every time someone mentions The Pill. I bought me a Wisconsin and a Maryland and a D.C., although I am aware that even my wealth and have you noticed that I have $250 million stashed away for a rainy fking century? wouldnt be enough to carry The District in the general. But all I really have to do is spend enough to carry 51 percent of the Green Rooms there and Im home fking free. And I can do that. Chuck Todds already halfway down into my vest pocket, looking for loose doubloons. And you know why?
Because Im Willard Romney, bitches, and I can buy and sell your great-grandchildren and you wont even know it happened.
You actually think I believe some of jive Ive been running this year? Thats the part of you that I f__king own now. You think you own me, but I own you, motherfkers. None of your heroes took the field, and everyone else who did was a clown. Meanwhile, Im spreading green like Im Vigoro and today, you look up and its me or That Person in the White House, and youre all quivering in your Sansabelts. Dont you fools understand? I bought your party. You hated me. You distrusted me. And now you have to vote for me. See how that happens? Happens all the time with me. The Supreme Court put your party up for auction and I was the high bidder, and I was the high bidder because Im Willard Romney, bitches, but you can call me, Sir....

Mitt Romneys campaign and super PAC are absolutely swamping Rick Santorum on the air in Wisconsin, outspending him at a rate of about 55 to 1.
So far, the pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future has bought $2,294,380 worth of airtime, according to a media-tracking source. The group has been airing commercials there for over a week.
In the past 24 hours, Romneys campaign has supplemented that spending with approximately $737,000 in additional ads running from March 24 to April 3. Theyre spending most heavily in the Milwaukee market, where their flight is worth $308,000 or a total of 1,760 points. Romneys campaign has also put over $100,000 into each of the Madison, La Crosse and Green Bay markets, and $81,000 in Wausau.
