Rick Santorum is Marple republicans' second choice, while Ron Paul is Newtown republicans' second choice.
Republican voters in the Marple Newtown area voted–in an overwhelming majority–for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as their pick to face off against Barack Obama in the November election.

The Cohen family, owners of The Iron Shop, debrief of Mitt Romney's visit to their spiral staircase manufacturing plant on April 4.
BROOMALL–Although Mitt Romney visited The Iron Shop in Broomall a few years ago, Wednesday night's 2012 presidential campaign rally for the republican presidential hopeful put the local spiral staircase manufacturing company on the map. From local to national news outlets and with a crowd of approximately 500 people, it wasn't a shabby night for the Broomall manufacturing plant. "It could only help the business," said Samuel Cohen, co-owner of The Iron Shop, about all the publicity and the decision to have Romney's rally at their shop. When Romney came to visit The Iron Shop in 2008, it wasn't technically part of the original plan. According to brother Allen Cohen, the family received word that Sarah Palin was to make her stop at the shop …

He also respects traditional American values and customs. And I can trust what he tells me. more ›
