JACKSON, Miss. — Despite a pair of devastating defeats in the Deep South, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney continued his methodical march toward his party’s nomination Wednesday, insisting he’s not concerned about voters’ lack of passion for him because simple math will ensure his victory.
It’s now all about the delegates, he says.
Despite his front-runner status, Romney finished third in both Alabama and Mississippi Tuesday night, losing ground to former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, whose faith-and-family campaign has excited the party’s conservative base in a way Romney never has.
