Fox News: Romney wins but Newt leads with 46% of conservatives. Romney only 11%.

This is the nutty news for today.
A whole article about Romney winning with the senior and Hispanic vote but:

"for voters who valued "true conservative" credentials as their top quality, Gingrich led with 46 percent, followed by Santorum at 26 percent and Paul at 16 percent. Among those voters, Romney was last with 11 percent. "

So Romney didn't REALLY win. Or something.
Huh?

and he might be right.

If you add up Gingrich and Santorum, that's right with Romney.

And if Romney hadn't had the advantage of a third of the people voting early, it would have been alot closer.
You can see that in how his percentage dropped after tonight's totals started getting added to the early votes.
