With the Grinch still in, votes continue to be split, helping Mittens.

The only reason Frothy isn't running away with more of these primaries is that the ultranut vote is being split among Frothy, Grinch, and Grampy Paul too. Mittens should be thanking Grinch. If Grinch gets out, Frothy has the chance to pile up more wins in the South and West dragging this out longer and longer. If Grinch stays in, it continues to be a split vote, with Mittens becoming inevitable.

Not a big chance mind you, and it would require pretty much everything going his way but it would be a chance nonetheless.

Without Gingrich Ohio and Alaska would have been fairly strong Santorum state tonight.

He is getting just enough to think they will have a spot for him in Tampa.

If the MSM tried to cover this race to the bottom correctly, even the Republics would be laughing at themselves.

In the meantime, how are we doing in the Congressional races?

from someone in the Romney campaign. Adelson had previously announced that he was not going to give Newt any more money and that he would support Romney, presuming he was the nominee.
