MILWAUKEE – Mitt Romney tightened his grip on the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night, sweeping primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington D.C., with time left over to swap charges with President Barack Obama.
“Four more years?” Romney asked sarcastically of the president as supporters cheered in Milwaukee.
He said Obama was “a little out of touch” after spending four years surrounded by the trappings of power and had presided over near-record job losses as well as increases in poverty, home foreclosures, government debt and gasoline prices. In Washington, Obama said things could be worse – and he predicted they would be if Romney and the Republicans got their way.
