 Super Tuesday ResultsPosted on Mar 6, 2012
Below are the primary and caucus results from Super Tuesday, with 416 delegates in 10 states at stake. All eyes were on Ohio, a state that will undoubtedly play a major role in the general election. Mitt Romney won the state, along with the other late night holdouts of Alaska and Idaho. Projected winners (according to CNN data): Mitt Romney Rick Santorum Newt Gingrich *** Below are the delegate breakdowns, not including superdelegates unless indicated. Different states use different rules, and they can be quite confusing. The upshot is this: Most states use a proportionate allocation of delegates, so candidates have to worry about not only their total number of victories but their percentages as well. A few states give bonuses to the biggest winner, and only one, Vermont, gives all of its delegates to a single candidate. Winner take all: Vermont (14) Proportionate (either directly, or by congressional district): Alaska (24), Georgia (73, plus three additional superdelegates to the majority winner), Massachusetts (38), North Dakota (28) Weird: Idaho (32): Winner takes all, unless he fails to win a majority of county delegates (don’t ask). Otherwise delegates are allocated proportionately. Ohio (63): 48 delegates are divided by congressional district. An additional 15 go to the winner of a majority, or are divided by the major winners of pluralities. Oklahoma (40): Delegates are divided proportionately, except for 25 who go to the majority winner. Tennessee (55): 27 proportionate delegates plus 28 outright for a two-thirds-majority winner or divided among major winners if there’s no majority. Virginia (46): 33 delegates divided by congressional district, with 13 more going to the majority winner. —PZS Advertisement TAGS:

Hey good one FloridaDemocrat!
I just hope everyone recognises it as parody ... I mean
Report thisno-one really believes that crap do they?

The bragging goes on: Gingrich “I’m going to win the
nomination,” and Romney “I will get this
nomination…”
Vote Rick ‘Rocky’ Santorum, the tough, hard-hitting,
hard working fighter from Steel Town, Pennsylvania…He
doesn’t brag, he gets it done.
Romney and Gingrich throw away, ‘scott free’ their
biggest tax cut business expansion incentive to the
1%...overseas U.S. corporations…like Romney’s
buddy, Staples.
Yep, weak negotiators Romney & Gingrich give a huge
zero tax relief to overseas corporations and get
nothing in return. We wish all U.S. business well,
but it’s the ‘home team’ that needs the most help in
our present crisis, not the ‘overseas’ boyz…they’re
doing great on their own.
Tough negotiator Rick ‘Rocky’ Santorum has our back.
Rick ONLY awards zero tax cut to overseas repatriated
profits WHEN those profits are used to create jobs
inside the USA!
Vote Santorum! He has the toughest plans with the
strongest ‘teeth,’ to get us the jobs we need, to get
community banks lending again to small business and
homeowners, to cut $5 trillion in the first 5 years
from Obama’s spending spree!
Vote Rick ‘Rocky’ Santorum for the tough jump start
Report thisour economy needs to provide a good future for our
children and opportunity for the 100%—all Americans
united for a strong USA!

Hetero, that’s what EJ Dionne wrote in his last column, March 4.

Ohio will be a key state in November, yes.
But it’s too soon to give it, or the election, to Obama.
Here’s what I see at this point

How are the repugs going to spin it when, during Mittens acceptance speech at the convention, about 1/3 of the audience either boo’s him, or remains silent? That third is the christian wak-a-moles, and just like they did in ‘92 when they queered the deal for Bush 1, their support of the nazi Santorum will either cause a brokered convention or a second term for Barry.
Wow, it must suck when your entire ideology has been proven to be a fraud and a disaster. But then again, repugs still have their fallback guy, and Barry has proven to be more than a fan of Reagans “let big business” solve our woes.
Either way, woe is us.
