Let's hope people have good memories and the Etch-A -Sketch follows Romney all the way to November. If it does...we got this election in the bag and there will be a lot of happy Repub and Dem women! Yeah Obama!

I'm from Louisiana originally, and look on with bewilderment that Santorum would win the state. Combine that with the video or recording of the woman in Monroe who said "Pretend it's Obama" at the shooting range, while Santorum was shooting. WTF?!?!? Maybe Santorum winning is a good thing, cause win Romney wins the nomination, Santorum's ilk will stay home for the general election. Wishful thinking or the pot's half full?
