Eagerly awaiting the results of the primaries tonight. Since its too early to look at results yet, I checked out what is going on at intrade. What is going on in Mississippi? I know intrade is not a good indicator, but wow!

It is way too early and things could change as the night goes on, but I agree that Gingrich needs a win tonight to have a legitimate reason to stay in the race

I was expecting a bit of Gingrich resurgence, but if the Whack-a-Mole is whacked tonight, it is over.

nice way to put it Smiley

You seem to be new in the Exit Polling business.

Exit Polls are changed all the time, and they are modified as more votes are coming in to fit the actual results.

And it's not CNN changing them, but Edison which does the Exit Polls for all broadcasters.

I guess I am new... I don't remember seeing the results revised on TV before. Makes sense, though.

Although this is a close race for Santorum, Gingrich and Romney, one things seems to be clear, Ron Paul is hardly on the map. How will he spin tonights results?

Although it is a very close race so far in both states, if you stand back and look, you'll see that Romney is only neck-and-neck because Gingrich and Santorum are splitting the vote. Add their votes together its 60% to 30% against Romney.

Romney is out first on CNN tonight and not Ron Paul... only an interview, but he seems to do better in interview than he does in speeches.

After Super Tuesday no one was expecting Romney to win MS and AL. A loss here for Romney is nothing serious. A loss for Gingrich on the other hand is fatal. Santorum really needs to win big here for him to get much momentum out of it. If its close it is actually better for Romney.

Well It won't be close for Romney when you consider that almost two-thirds voted against him, but the damage will be bearable and he can come back in states where he is stronger

The media is going to have fun throwing Romney's quote: "...the desperate end of Rick Santorum's campaign..." back at him tonight.

The bigger upset tonight is not Santorum beating Romney but Santorum beating Gingrich.
