Wall Street Willie Leads In Next 2 States

It's just three more days until more entities get to choose who they want to represent the Republican Party in November against the president. Those are the states of Wisconsin and Maryland, and the District of Columbia -- who will all vote on Tuesday, April 3rd. By the end of that night, about three-fifths of the states will have voted.

I haven't seen anything on the District of Columbia, but I figure Wall Street Willie (aka Willard Mitt Romney) is probably the favorite. It also looks like he may take both Maryland and Wisconsin, since two new polls show him with a comfortable lead in both those states. Even if Romney does take all three, he will still not have the required number of delegates to clinch the nomination. But it will give him a much better chance of getting that majority of delegates before the GOP convention.

Frankly, I'm not so afraid of Romney being the nominee anymore. He's shown he is a weak candidate who can't even convince the majority of Republicans he should be the nominee. He will probably get the nomination, but he won't enthuse GOP voters, and certainly won't appeal to Independents. Most people now see him as a rich tool of Wall Street who has no conception of the problems facing ordinary Americans.

Here are the two latest polls:
