Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney isn’t throwing a party to watch election results come in from the Alabama and Mississippi Republican primaries, which he called an “away game” as he campaigned in each state over the last week. He was in Missouri on Tuesday campaigning ahead of that state’s non-binding caucus on March 17th, and don’t expect a speech tonight, whether he does well or not. From the Washington Post:
“You don’t know from polls what will happen,” he said. “But obviously if the polls are anywhere near correct, we’ll end up, I don’t know, with a third of the delegates? And if that’s the case, that inches us closer to the magic number.”
When a reporter then asked Romney why he did not plan to speak or hold a victory party after the primaries, he didn’t answer directly. “We’ll have to wait until the polls close,” he said. “Then we’ll talk about that.”
