"You win some, you lose some. Tonight we won Arizona and contested well in Michigan. I'm proud of what we were able to accomplish tonight. Now on to Washington!"



"We did absolutely phenomenal tonight! Thank you all so much for helping me win the great state of Michigan as well as come in second in the great state of Arizona. Together, we can win this thing and go on to defeat President Obama!"



"I'd like to congratulate Governor Romney and Senator Santorum on their victories in Michigan and Arizona tonight. They fought hard and got well deserved victories. By no means are we out of this though...I have faith that we can win this one!



"We fought hard tonight and had some pretty good finished. We're gonna fight hard in Washington and we're gonna fight hard until it's over. Mark my words: the Revolution is alive and well!"

Continue! And let Dr. Paul win a caucus or two! (and I'm glad we agree on the appropriate coloring for each candidate)

I'm happy with whoever wins so long as it ISN'T ROMNEY.

Keep it up. I'm very intrigued.

Son of a b*tch...I though it was just Gingrich. Ugh.

Thank you.

Why would Mitt win Ohio if he couldn't win Michigan?

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

Why would Mitt win Ohio if he couldn't win Michigan?

This.

Especially when in Ohio you have evangelical heavy Cincinnati and it's Socially far-right metro area. I only see Mitt winning the Cleveland/Toledo/Akron metro areas. (w/ Gingrich winning Columbus Metro)

None of these polls are final results. I'll be posting another update tonight.

"We fought hard and maintained our lead tonight. This country is obviously ready for change after nearly four years of failed policies by the current administration!"



"Tonight's results clearly show an uproar of support for truly Conservative values. I have a message for President Obama: Watch your back, cuz we're coming for you!"



"As I said last month, the Revolution is still alive. I was right. Tonight we pulled ahead of Speaker Gingrich because America is done with the war-mongering, the endless spending and the intrusive policies of the current administration. Liberty prevailed tonight, thank you!"



"Tonight clearly wasn't the best night for our campaign, but we're still in it. I'd like to thank the voters of Georgia for giving me a victory. I'm humbled to win such a great state. I'm proud that I got to represent the state in Congress. We're still in this thing. Let's go for it all!"
