    @fivethirtyeight Ohio GOP, Sunday Night: Romney 38% / Santorum 33% / Gingrich 18% / Paul 8%. Full details later Monday in @CivilBeat
    I don't know how legit Merriman River is, but things are moving in Mitt's direction in Ohio.

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                But I guess we shouldn't get too excited. The DesNews weighs in.

                    Holy crap, now there's a WeAskAmerica poll that his Mitt up by one in Tennessee. I wonder if that holds, but Tennessee is fairly straight proportional, so he should pick up a nice bunch of delegates. But if he takes Tennessee and Ohio, then I'm thinking Santorum will drop out.

                        If he gets Tennessee then they should all drop out. Tennessee is southern hillbilly country at its best. No Mormon has any business winning anything there.

                            C'mon, now is that very nice. Is it any more hillbillyish than rural Utah?

                            Rural Utah will vote for Romney.

                                There's a difference between hillbillies and hicks. I'm not sure what it is, but we don't have hillbillies in Utah.

                                    Hillbilly is code for a huntin', trappin' evangelical

                                    Hick is probably code for a huntin', trappin' Mormon

                                    One would vote for Romney only because he's Mormon, the other would never vote for him because he's Mormon.

                                        I served in WV for 4 months on my mission. If you had, you'd know.

                                        Hillbilly: The 60+ year old woman on her front porch, wearing overalls with no shirt underneath, with ancient breasts spilling out, with no teeth but a mouth full of chew, declaring "I am a genuine West Virginia Hillbilly and proud of it!" True story.

                                        Hick: See Southern Utah for plenty of examples. You will not see the above.

                                                    Isn't Idaho commonly referred to as rural Utah? I think you are being redundant.
