DNC Statement on Results of Republican Primaries in Michigan and Arizona
Posted by DNC Press on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 10:30 p.m. ET
Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement tonight on the results of the GOP primaries in Michigan and Arizona:
"While he may have managed to win the Michigan and Arizona Republican primaries, tonight’s victories have come at a great cost for Mitt Romney—he has moved far to the right in an obvious effort to pick up support from extreme Tea Party voters. In Michigan, that meant doubling down on his incredibly out-of-touch position that we should have ‘let Detroit go bankrupt.’ In Arizona, it was confirming that he’d be the most extreme nominee in recent history on immigration. And he did all that while he and his super PAC allies launched a vicious negative attack campaign against Rick Santorum – outspending Santorum and his allies nearly 2-to-1 in Michigan and 12-to-1 in Arizona.
“Mitt Romney’s run to the right may have allowed him to stumble forward in the slog for the Republican nomination, but make no mistake, it has hurt him in irreparable ways. It’s no surprise that Romney is quickly becoming the most unpopular potential general election nominee in history. His ceaseless efforts to pander to voters aren’t winning him any prizes among independents, and his policies will do absolutely nothing to help America’s families get ahead. Voters know that Mitt Romney proves every day that he is wrong for our country and wrong for our future."
