Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries

Rick Santorum unleashed a robocall on Michigan Democrats, reminding them they can vote for him in the very tight Republican Primary. At the same time, Democrat groups are urging Democrats to get out to the polls and vote Santorum, to deny Romney a momentum-building victory.

Republicans have had run-ins with songwriters and bands for using their music at campaign events. Mitt Romney got dinged for using a K’Naan song, while Newt Gingrich was asked to stop using “Eye of the Tiger.”

Rick Santorum was the unquestioned winner on Wednesday night. When the results came in, he’d earned big victories in the Minnesota caucus and Missouri primary and a narrower, but still substantial, victory in the Colorado caucus.

Floridians are voting now for whom they prefer as the GOP Presidential challenger to President Barack Obama. Polls in Florida are open until 7 p.m. local time.

Mitt Romney would probably like to go back to bed. The former Massachusetts Governor learned Thursday that the Iowa Caucus had recounted its ballots, and the final tally had Rick Santorum in the lead. But, with some ballots lost, no official winner will be declared. Plus, Texas Gov. Rick Perry dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Romney rival Newt Gingrich.
