Super Tuesday states:
Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, North Dakota, Ohio, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia.
Any predictions on who is likely to win which state?
Romney is ahead in several most importantly Ohio. Will Gingrich win his home state of Georgia? Will Santorum bust through anywhere in a last ditch effort to rest the nomination from Mitt Romney?
I feel that this will be the final hurrah for the three lagging candidates. But time will tell…
Movin’ on!
Two thoughts, Zeb:
Much like Michigan, a win here could add to the momentum Romney got from his wins in Michigan and Arizona. It’s an important state with a lot of delegates.
It will be tough. Santorum and Newt play well to working class, Southern conservatives…and Romney’s Faith does NOT go over well in the “Bible Belt”.
All said, I think Romney comes out of Super Tuesday with a sizable delegate lead.
Whether or not that begins to unite the Party behind him is the big question.

Santorum is ahead in Ohio by an 8.3 average, according to RCP.

Up by 18 in Tennessee.

16 in Oklahoma
Ohio will be close.
No surprises with the “Bible Belt” States.

I wouldn’t put much stock in polls taken before Romney’s double victory. People like to go with who they perceive to be the winner. I’m not saying Santorum is not ahead in various states but I’d be willing to bet those numbers have changed dramatically after Romney’s Tuesday night win.

All good points Mufasa. But if I were Santorum I’d be worried about Catholics going for Romney as they did in Michigan and Arizona. I think we were all surprised at that one. If he can’t even win the Catholic vote he’s in some pretty deep crap.

I have difficulty seeing Santorum as a Catholic for some reason. He fits my stereotype of an evangelical.
I have even MORE difficulty seeing him as President.

I have difficulty seeing Obama as President. With Romney, I have difficulty seeing him as President OR as a ‘severe conservative.’
With McCain and Romney losing their attempts at the white house though, perhaps we’ll finely be done with the moderate/independent/rogue republican electability nonsense. IF, if, Romney wins the nomination, after he most certainly loses to Obama, 2016 will be the year of the Conservative.

This is “PWI”; so I’ll probably get raked over the Coals with this;
But Hillary is looking and sounding more Presidential everyday.

It really depends on the candidates either side can pull. What do you think McCain’s chances would have been this year vs Obama the president instead of Obama the new guy?

He would have lost.

Ha ha…there won’t be a President Santorum this time around. He’d lose by a good 8-10 points maybe more.

That’s not a bad prediction, one problem however. Who is that candidate? Because regardless of political philosophies the masses vote for the man!
If there is another Ronald Reagan out there I agree with you. If there isn’t and they put up an arch conservative he’ll get crushed.

That’s because Obama is going to ask her to be on the ticket with him as Biden decides to “retire”
And remember where you heard this I want some credit

Intriguing, Zeb!

Yes, I am a die hard Hillary supporter. Never voted in a primary (not registered democrat), but would have voted her before Obama in a heart beat.
She has said though that she isn’t interested. Obama needs to lose Biden though.
