He won but he didn’t dominate

Listen to Dave Ross Commentary: He won but he didn’t dominate

That’s the kind of game this has been for Mitt Romney.

He put the most points on the board yesterday yet all the commentary is about how he didn’t win bigger.

Too many Republicans are convinced that he is just a phony conservative, and if he were ever to take the oath of office, he would peel off the latex, put flowers in his hair, go all San Francisco, and it would rain birth control pills.

The authenticity points keep going to Rick Santorum. And to Joe The Plumber — remember him? The guy who butted heads with Barack Obama in 2008:

“I’m getting ready to buy a company. Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it? he challenged Obama.

Samuel Wurzelbacher easily won the Republican nomination in Ohio’s 9th Congressional district.

Authenticity! Romney needs it bad. CBS’s Bob Schieffer:

“If it does get to the convention and none of these candidates has a majority of the delegates, this convention might choose somebody else.”

In fact — CNN had a reporter in Alaska, supposedly to follow the Alaska primary — but I think it was because they wanted to put this question to a certain Alaskan who just happened to show up at the polls:

“I would ask the governor how likely does she think is the possibility of an open convention, and if there is an open convention and someone approached her and said governor Palin I want to place your name in nomination, would she stop them?”

“As I say, anything is possible and I don’t close any doors that perhaps would be open out there, so no I wouldn’t close that door, and my plan is to be at that convention,” said Palin.
