Outside of a few areas, Cook county is as blue as it gets.
This is absolutely true. I lived in Chicago for 45 years, and it is blue, blue, blue. This is why downstate periodically talks about making Chicago secede from Illinois and become its own state--because the rest of the state is pretty red. It's also why this win for Romney doesn't mean a whole lot. Chicago will vote for Obama and the state will be blue in November.
Romney eeks out another win as the usual misguided GOP voters hold their noses to vote for him. This in a state where no GOP candidate has a chance against the great President Obama.
What a joke these GOP primaries represent. The GOP candidates are campaigning on how to be ineffective, divisive, and how to give us more Bush.
A lexus, When did winning by 12 become "Eek"? MR as of now has 4 voters for every three Santorum has. Was 2008 a mini "EEk". This margin is 160% of Obama's 7.4 point win in 2008.
Michigan and Ohio Exit Polling, the only states with statistically significant Democratic/Liberal Turnout in the GOP primary. Dems went overwhelmingly Santorum. Sory if you thought I meant in general they support him, I only meant those Dems that vote in GOP primaries. I could've been clearer, I apologize, but I thought that was implied when I first mentioned the number of dems that crossed over to vote in the GOP primary.

?? Cook county is about as blue as it gets
Yes, but more Republican votes were cast in Cook County than all other counties combined. They said about 60% on CSPAN I believe. Look at the numbers yourself. So I'm right. I didn't say it was a red county. It's a deep blue county in a blue state, but it's so large that it still has more Republicans than all the other counties combined.

Santorum only campaigned in the he-haw areas of the state that would most appeal to him.
Ok, but that doesn't address what I said. I was referring to posters who think it's a problem that Romney is winning Republicans who happen to have more Democrats as their neighbors because we live in liberal areas. As if the fact that the guy next door to me votes Democrat has anything to do with how conservative I am
I'm sorry you're still not over your man-crush on Ron Paul. What happened? Did he turn you down?

Another meaningless win for Frankenstein
