official Super Tuesday commentary thread (Republican)

[Gustaf]

Romney gets 90% in Utah

It sort of makes him look bad, ya know what I mean?

What on earth do you mean?  The good voters of Utah had no reason to support Romney so overwhelmingly other than his executive record and proven business experience.

lol

The nearly fanatical support of Utah voters for business executives always pissed me off...

My favorite part of the whole shabang was Huck calling Willard a cry-baby.

I've seen it in real life.

Umm... Mitt Romney would currently get 0 delegates in California

Has someone checked on the Congressional level? CNN saying that McCain won Los Angeles county doesn't count as checking its 15 or so districts.

Yes. there was the link in that post to results by CD. At the moment I checked (20 min ago), McCain was leading in all but two districts - in those two there wasn't any reporting.

I only see Romney winning in CD21

CD21 is Fresno, CA - interestingly the home of Free Republic....  lol

[ag]

Romney is now leading in the 21st District - barely. He also isn't terribly far behind in maybe 5-8 others.

So, current California Delegate Count:

McCain: 167
Romney: 3

Victory?

Actually, Romney is also ahead by a semi-decent margin in CD 52. In two more CD's McCain is ahead by a whisker w/ over 10% left to report. Zillions of CD's where the margins are smallish, but don't look smallish enough to be overturned.  On current numbers it's 164:6, but it could go all the way to 158:12. No matter how you slice it, California is in McCain's bag.

McCain won CT, won Fairfield County, won Norwalk.

 My job is done.

There is no way that I would enough time to swing my CD to McCain without divine intervention.

This is false.

Both Zogby and Rasmussen have confirmed that robot will win California.

You hate Mormons.

How badly were Zogby and Rasmussen off?

Rasmussen - Obama +1, McCain/Romney Tie
Zogby (lol) - Obama +13, Romney +7

Zogby's California result may be one of the funniest polls ever.

I read it after I posted.  You may quote me for this:

It's Zogby!!!

[Lincoln Republican]

MSNBC called Alaska for Romney.

Yet another Romney victory!!!!!!!!!!

[MasterJedi]

MSNBC called Alaska for Romney.

Yet another Romney victory!!!!!!!!!!

The 3vil has lost though, it's only a matter of time after his horrible showing (or lack there of) in California.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Did anyone notice that Fred Thompson beat Huckabee in Arizona... especially in the border counties.  He came within 1% of winning Cochise County.

[Gabu]

It's Zogby!!!

Zogby got Missouri, Georgia, and New Jersey all bang on.

He seems to do either really well or absolutely atrociously, with little in between.

Speaking of New Jersey, NJ.com has an excellent town-by-town flash map of the results.

http://www.nj.com/elections/towns/index.ssf?/str/primary/results.asp?frmchart=flash

Fun fact: On the Republican side, it appears that John McCain carried every single municipality in New Jersey but three (not counting Atlantic County, whose data is missing from the map):

Fieldsboro (Burlington County): Romney won with 38.1%. Fieldsboro made the news a few years ago when then-Mayor Buddy Tyler passed an ordinance prohibiting yellow ribbons from public property. Fieldsboro's population as of 2000 was 522.

Teterboro (Bergen County): Romney won with 60%. Teterboro, population 18, had 6 registered Republicans as of 2004.  Teterboro is basically a town created around an airport.

Rockleigh (Bergen County): Romney won with 43.6%.  Rockleigh has a population of 393.

"Size matters."  Romney's delegate pool is smaller. 

Super Tuesday has been decided, on Withdrawal Thursday.
