It's probably either some polling someone did or numbers he made up. Very unlikely to be actual exit polling.

It could early numbers, but I don't believe them.

If they are exit polls, that's good news for Santorum as he does his worst in the earliest exit polls.

Mittens is now closing in!  

Latest update Santorum 41 Romney 35 Gingrich 16 Paul 8

Maybe in a couple of more updates, Mittens will pull into the lead. Maybe this race will be over before the polls close.  Tongue

I'll wait for real exit polls, thanks. Tongue

Also, Romney may have won the Tea Party vote in Illinois, but he sure won't be in Louisiana.

Question: are the evangelicals in Louisiana more middle-class suburban or more rural poor in demographic? Or mixed?

Most of Louisiana's evangelicals are in the more rural northern end of Louisiana. The southern part is surprisingly Catholic, though a good chunk of those are Cajuns in the southwest.

Why are the counties called parishes instead of counties? Anything to do with the french connections or catholicism?

Both.

Exit poll is Santorum +19 (Santorum 47%, Romney 28%, Gingrich 16%)

edit: damn lief

Santorum has a slight, slight chance at breaking 50%. Wink

Obama only has 65% of the Democratic vote so far.

New Orleans will push him higher. Oklahoma will probably be his worst performance of the primary. 

West Virginia could give OK a run for its money.

A Santorum sweep of the parishes, or something very close to it, would not surprise me at this point.

Still nothing from Orleans, so Rick's lead could shrink, though at this rate he might have won there too.

Don't think there are enough Republicans there to matter too much. McCain got about 3% of his LA votes from Orleans. Obama got about 15% there.

True. Jefferson Parish is another story though.

I can already tell that this state is going to look rather odd on the national county map.

Orleans finally starts to come in. Romney up there 47%-24%, but not a ton of votes.
