Anybody else think Romney is probably going to come in third place here? Good thing he has BushOklahoma's rock solid support!

Other has -1? Wow, is Buddy Roemer that unpopular?

If I had to make a guess, I'd say Romney beats Gingrich by a little, if only because Gingrich is fading so quickly. It's certainly not outside the realm of possibility though; Romney does not appeal to the vast majority of Republicans here at all. These people know their severe conservatives. Romney's BS just isn't going to sell.

If Santorum keeps his lead over Romney nationally until Super Tuesday (or at least doesn't collapse), this is probably one of the states Romney's campaign will decide to triage away so they can focus the big dollars in Ohio and Georgia.

Far likelier that Santorum manages to get over 50% than Romney falls to third at this point:

Discounting the undecided gives:

Santorum:	44%
Romney:	26%
Gingrich:	21%
Paul:	9%

Indeed, if Rick can pull off the unlikely upset of Arizona, he likely will go over 50% here.
