LOL, they're only expecting about 50 voters at a restaurant to pick American Samoa's 6 delegates. Of course Romney will win all of them.

Hey, remember 106 minutes ago when the exit poll had Romney up 5% in MS?

Good times.

Romney still leads the exit poll. Of course it is of declining relevance.

In Mississippi, the Gingrich counties are between 75-90% in , but Santorum is still around 50% in in the far north... Santorum seems destined to pick up a little ground there... clearly "Appalachia" likes Santorum.

It's really not Appalachia at all though. At best its hilly.

Nothing says Appalachia quite like Ithaca or Albany NY, southern Vermont, or Amherst MA.

Plane just landed, who won?

Looks like Frothy in both.

A little premature to call Mississippi.

So the polls were a massive failure and Mitt's southern ceiling is still 28% basically. Good to know!

Looks like the inevitable nominee will get 3rd place in both. But he'll landslide American Samoa's 50 voters, and that's what really counts.

OK, looks like they can call both of these in the following order Santorum Gingrich Romney. LOL at Romney.

Not done yes AS and HI are still out.

Any idea on the delegate count?

I think we can call those for Romney.

Well, I'm back after a while away from the computer.

1. Romney has some egg on his face tonight; outspending his opponents by a wide margin, leading in the polls, but still coming in third in both states.
2. Santorum Surge Mark III, commence!

Gingrich has more egg than Romney.  Santorum had the best night by far... not many people saw him winning both of these.

A lot more.  A very bad night for Gingrich, a not unexpectedly bad night for Romney (so far), and a very good night for Santorum.

Well, we all know that Romney will do well in Hawaii and American Samoa. I wonder he'll get all of the votes of the 50 people who bother to show up in Samoa? Of course he'll get all of the delegates there.

Oh sure, Santorum had surprising wins in MS and AL and is doing much better than expected in HI, but a few dozen people at some restaurant in the American Samoa didn't like him one bit.

Romney gets 46%, still pretty bad for him for a state where the Republicans are relatively moderate, there are hardly any Christians, and around 20% of the Christians are Mormons.

So Ron Paul nearly won every county that didn't have the oldest Mormon temple in the world outside of Utah.
