1. If Gingrich wins those states he'll never leave.

All of them can stay in to attempt to prevent Romney from getting 50% +1. I don't know if it will work.

2. Good!

Whatever it takes to keep this clown circus on the road a little longer just tickles my pickle.

3. Goddamn it, Newt might just hand more states to Romney.

which would bring this thing to an end far too quickly.

4. Let's be serious, the winner of both of Tuesday's primaries depends entirely on who's lackeys are

doing the counting.

5. Ras has Romney leading by 8 in MS with Santo and Gingrich perfectly splitting the vote

at 27.

I find that hard to believe, MS is a bit to the right of AL I think but it looks like Newts ego might just hand two states to Romney that he would have no chance to win otherwise.

hell Santorum would likely get over 50% if it was just him and Romney here.

and Newt is again saying he will stay in till the convention.

6. Interesting Trend...

Millard has won only three states: Utah, Idaho & Arizona that Gramps won in '08...the others he's "won" were and will be won again by President Obama. If he wins the nomination, what percentage of those in the states he's lost will stay home, vote third party or just skip voting for President. A drop of 10% could turn a close election into something a bit larger. Millard's gonna find the further he goes in this process the less friends he has...

7. This is good news for Romney...

Not only is he within striking distance, his biggest threat, Santorum, is finishing third. My guess is that Romney picks off a few southern states, Gingrich wins the rest and Santorum is essentially upended with zero.

Basically, Romney should have some smooth sailing to the nomination if these numbers holds.
