    Cuyahoga is really pulling Romney and only 41% of vote count.

    If I had to guess, I'd say Romney wins by 8,000 votes tonight. If his numbers pull consistently out of Cuyahoga, he'll win by more than 10,000

      The only thing that bugs me a little is that Santo and Newt aren't even Evangelicals -- if the Evangelicals were voting for Perry, Bachman, or Huckabee it would be understandable. But this sure seems like more of an anti-Mo vote than just voting for one of their own. If Rick Perry were kicking Mitt's ass among Evangelicals then we would have no room to complain whatsoever.
      You're right about how Mo's are voting, but they're voting as an affinity group, i.e, for a guy in their own group. The Evangelicals are voting against Romney because he's not a true conservative a Mormon.

          Cuyahoga implies a 24k vote win for Romney, vs 10k shown on the board right now if the voting continues to pull at the same ratio pro-Romney.

              Take a look at this exit poll on the first criterion. Can't get closer than that!

                  CNN claiming mitt has 6k additional votes in Franklin co. That haven't been counted yet. Official count w/ Mitt up by 5k.

                      I'm seeing him down by 2k+ with 79% reporting, but you may have more recent info. Still, with those numbers Romney only has to win the remaining ballots by a 38.7% to 36.2% margin over Santorum (assuming the others pull the same percentages as they have been) to pull it off. Way too close to call either way.

                          Pretty funny how pundits were talking about Mitt not wrapping this up and all the body blows he took from Santorum minutes ago to now they're talking about moral victories Rick can take home.
