Mitt Romney’s victory speech is focused entirely on the President tonight: “In Barack Obama’s government-centered society, tax increases become a desired tool for social justice. …there’s always somebody entitled to something more.”

The coronation bells are ringing, at least that’s how Mitt Romney seems to see it. On the heels of a three-state sweep (according to Wisconsin projections from CBS and Fox News), the GOP frontrunner delivered a speech dripping with the aura of inevitability that surrounded the start of his campaign, wavered against challenger after challenger, but ultimately now looks restored in full force. His victory speech tonight was, for all practical purposes, a red-meat general election speech — eschewing talk of his GOP rivals to roast the President — and touched on many of the themes we can expect to see over the next several months, primarily disparagement of President Obama’s economic policies, knowledge, and philosophy. Particularly notable, and we suspect it foreshadows the narrative to come, was a repeated phrase: “In Barack Obama’s government-centered society…” (Photo by Gage Skidmore, who you may have heard of.)

“A lot of Americans have given up on the President, but they haven’t thought about giving up. Not on themselves.”
