Tonight's results could be final fatal blow for Santorum.
from WaPo..
Even the most die-hard political junkies could be forgiven for wondering when the Republican presidential race will take its last heaving breath and keel over, never to be heard from again.
The death rattle is clearly audible in the race these days, as former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney spars with the White House while former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum tries, in vain, to convince an ever-shrinking piece of the Republican electorate that this race is still a race.
Santorum has avoided calling Wisconsin, which is set to hold its presidential primary today, a must-win for his continued existence in the race (as opposed to the Pennsylvania primary later this month, which he acknowledges he has to win). On Monday, he told reporters that “I think in this primary, the longer it goes the better it is for the party.”
But, there is growing evidence that the protracted primary is actually hurting the party’s chances. The latest piece of bad news for Republicans? A Gallup/USA Today poll of 12 swing states that shows Romney trailing President Obama by nine points, a deficit directly tied to the Republican’s struggles among women voters.

============
I think Rmoney is going to win big tonight which will result in opening the floodgate of Republican calls for Santorum to drop out. Not sure if he will cooperate since Saint Santorum feels he's on a "Mission from God" and it may not matter to him what others think however I suspect he will give it up especially when the numbers from PA start to show Romney beating him there. I dont think Ricky wants to go out on the sourest of notes losing his home state.
