What's up with Ron Paul at St. Bernard? He gets 15% there, almost three times his state numbers.

Area was totally leveled by the hurricane, for what that's worth. Not sure what's happened since.

Depressing, that.  About 1,000 votes in the completely noncompetitive 2000 primaries.  Now what?  Shy of 700?  Yikes.

41% of Orleans now in.  No swing toward Santorum to speak of.  Safe Romney.

I don't see any way Romney will get less than 25% of the statewide vote.

Jefferson is 48%-29% Santorum with 11% in.  Terrible performance for Romney, especially if he falls in later ballots.  It's no longer a near-sure thing he'll break 25%, although it's quite probable.

Keep in mind, though, Romney just needs to do better than 25% to keep his head above water.  It would take an epic fail for him to be doing worse than that in the Jefferson/Orleans that's left.  An entertainingly epic fail, but an epic fail nonetheless.
