Reince Priebus: Mitt Romney Will Win Wisconsin
Reince Priebus has a lot of optimism for Mitt Romney’s chances for the closing weeks of the presidential campaign.
The Republican National Chairman says the GOP’s fundraising advantage and Romney’s chances of winning in one important state could help propel the candidate past President Obama. Republicans have 10 times the amount of money ready to be spent as Democrats do, he told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
“This was a great week. The RNC has $77 million in the bank and the Democrats have $7 million,” Reince Priebus said, citing the GOP’s internal figures.
Speaking before the GOP First District Fall Fest at the Wiswell Center on the Walworth County Fairgrounds in Wisconsin, Reince Priebus also had some good news for the local supports of Mitt Romney. Priebus predicted that Romney would be the first Republican to win the state since Ronald Reagan nearly swept the nation in 1984.
Priebus didn’t mention what he thought Romney’s margin of victory would be in Wisconsin, but said that was immaterial.
“As long as get our 10 electoral votes and don’t have a recount, I’m happy,” said Reince Priebus, the former chair of the Wisconsin Republican Party.
His comments come at a time when many are focused instead on the missteps of Romney’s campaign. A secret fundraiser tape released earlier this week shows Romney seemingly writing off the “47 percent” of Americans who pay no income tax, and other insider reports have spoken of disunity within the Romney campaign.
Priebus is totally committed to Romney winning — as he should be — but The Hill noted just how far that commitment goes. Earlier in the week Priebus was asked if he would rather have Romney beat Obama in November or his beloved Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl.
“Romney beating Obama, absolutely,” Priebus said.
Reince Priebus can be seen on Sunday, appearing opposite Obama senior adviser David Axelrod on This Week. The ABC political show pledges to tackle the question of whether Romney can get his campaign back on track with less than 50 days to Election Day, and if he can turn the focus to President Obama’s record rather than the focus on his “47 percent” comments released earlier this week.

That is a tall order, Reince. Take a look at Wisconsin's historial voting record, and Political Inclination Quotient:

Ronald Reagan was the last Republican to win WI… but maybe the Paul Ryan Factor will prevail.
Sep 22, 2012
No, Rince Preebus, he, Romney is not going to win WI and you can take that to the bank. Sometimes when I see you TV I am ashamed you are from the same city as I am. You are a disgrace and a loser. How did you ever get selected to be chairman of anything. At least Michael Steele had class, you have none.
Sep 22, 2012
Dream on Reince… what kind of name is Reince? So they're going to buy it?
Sep 22, 2012
What are you smoking? Paul Ryan will be lucky to win Wisconsin….Romney has a new campaign song..
"Born to lose" by Barack Obama….
Sep 22, 2012
this moron should be run out of the country after mittens gets his but kicked. I have an idea why this guy is such a moron way to many ass kicking with a name like Rince
Sep 22, 2012
Such an ARROGANT made by such an ARROGANT party.
Sep 22, 2012
It's going to be a tight race. I am confident Romney will win Wisconsin as well. If the voters backed Walker, they will back Romney.

LOL1 he is such a deluded man. Stupid, too.
Sep 22, 2012
First off, you drunk (remember your performance at the R's convention?) and that Walker boy demean the great state of Wisconsin. Secondly, if that pretty boy Floyd, Ryan, felt they'd win the election he'd not be campaigning for his House seat at the same time.
Sep 22, 2012
They should have kept Micheal Steele becauase Priebus is over his head….

Reince Priebus… My favorite thing about this jackass: take the vowels out of his name and your left with RNC PR BS. So true, so true. So much BS!
Sep 23, 2012
Mitt will win Wisconsin when birds fly out of Reince Preibus' ass.
Sep 23, 2012
You meant "steal' Wisconsin?
Sep 23, 2012
I don't want to make this seem like just a Republican thing, but it's sad that he says they'll win because of their financial superiority over the Democrats, rather than their ideology.
Sep 23, 2012
Rince can go f himself. That's what he can take to the bank. He's a phony and a fake like Romney. The GOP robbed Ron Paul of the nomination and did many many illegal tactics to disqualify delegates who were Ron Paul backers. It doesn't matter though we will take over the GOP eventually and get someone nominated who has principles and isn't a serial flip-flopper like Mitt Romney. Gary Johnson 2012.
Sep 23, 2012
the only way they'll win is by fixing the votes!
Sep 23, 2012
Mr Priebus after the election whatever it is that you are drinking you should market.Ah Mr.Priebus if only the Cayman Islands and Switzerland had electoral votes.Here in America Mr Romney has as much chance of winning Wisconsin as he has of winning the election.
Sep 23, 2012
This is what I read about the presidential campaign – several times each week.

After Mitt told the truth and got caught there is no way he will win anything except for the redneck and bigoted states that will never vote for a black man.
Sep 23, 2012
I the word "smarmy" didn't exist, we'd have to make it up to describe Mr. Priebus.
Sep 23, 2012
Rince Preebus is a bigger liar than Paul Ryan and that's hard to do!
Sep 23, 2012
The only reason people are focused on things Mitt Romney has said is because that's what the liberal media feeds peo-ple. Oh for some balanced reporting–that's all I ask!
Sep 23, 2012
How pithy.
Sep 23, 2012
After all the turmoil by the Republicans in Wisconsin ove the past year or so. The only way Romney will if the voting machine numbers get flipped by your governor and his cronies.
Sep 23, 2012
Romney might in fact win Wisconsin. It's a republican state now and they have 10 times more money. Nothing unusual there. But going Romney?
Sep 23, 2012
Kandy- are you voting for Mitt?
He's anti-gay marriage, as far as I know he seems to want a theocracy and the gays rounded up and carted off somewhere… he scared me, literally scares me.
Sep 23, 2012
No he really is not anti-gay. I am sort oif a political junkie. He does not in any way want gay peoiple carted off anywhere. He just feels it should be up to each individual state to make their own decisions. His general philosophy is less federal govt. involved in everybody's lives.
Sep 23, 2012
And yes., I am definitely voting for Romney and Ryan. Obama scares me.
Sep 23, 2012
If he wants the government less involved in everyone's lives then why is he against abortion and things concerning women's rights. He certainly doesn't want GLBT equality. And let me see what else I can dig up.
Sep 23, 2012
It's just his religion. Roe v Wade isn't going anywhere. And he is not against abortion–personally he would not do it if it were his wife–but he just thinks partial birth abortion should be against the law. And I do too.
Sep 23, 2012
I 100% personally suppost gay marriage. I have a family member (my nephew) who is looking to get married to his long time partner. Just because you are conservative on some things doesn't automatically make you anti gay rights.
Sep 23, 2012
And be careful "where" you dig up your informnation~there's usually 2 sides to every story & the truth lies somewhere in between!
Sep 23, 2012
Why when you don't agree with someone do you make insults about them? Can't you just disagree without doing that? I wote this because someone just did the same thing to me. Some very insulting things about my name from someone I have never met before.
Sep 23, 2012
Priebus is delusional.
Sep 23, 2012
I'm sure every Democrat is hoping the GOP keeps putting this guy out with his mouth open. Are they using him to make Romney look not quite so stupid. Priebus, Romney, Ryan, Aikin, Palin—Where are they getting these people from. They make W look like an intellectual.
Sep 23, 2012
I think he meant to say Mitt Romney will win Wisconsin Cheese.
Sep 23, 2012
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Sep 23, 2012
Rince Priebus is so nasty you can see filth dripping off his face,his evil smile.This guy is SATAN or atleast his cousin!
Sep 23, 2012
Reagan won WI and WI has not forgotten that Reagan policies severely damaged the manufacturing firms in Wi. Many of them have been "globalized", Reagan speak for moved the jobs to China. Trickle down never did work.
Nov 3, 2012
George Falk Reagan never spoke for Jobs to China hysterical ..Buinesses couldn't even offshore until Clinton signed off on Nafta .. wow don't you remember Jimmy Carter and the Rust Belt ….If Obama wins you are going to see inflation like those days
Nov 3, 2012
Reagan didn't globalize (or, export) jobs: you will have to thank labor unions, the environmental lobby, and trial lawyers for that.
