Georgia has already been called for Gingrich. No surprise there. Santorum’s in second place.
Virginia has been called for Romney. No surprise there.
Romney and Santorum are neck and neck in Ohio with 1% reporting.

Vermont for Romney according to CNN.
According to exit polls, gas prices were important to the votes of some 71% of Virginians. What the hell.

Probably a really stupid question, but why did Vermont go to Romney and not Paul? I thought Vermont was a Libertarian state?

New Hampshire is a little more libertarian than Vermont, and it went pretty heavily for Romney. Vermont is fairly liberal.

Quite a few electoral votes in Georgia. Gingrich isn’t going anywhere.

With 8% reporting, Santorum has a growing lead over Romney. I predict Santorum will take Tennessee.

Virginia’s going to end up being a pretty big prize for Romney, as he’ll end up gaining 35+ delegates on Santorum, who won’t be able to earn such a margin in any of the other contests.

Eyeballing the numbers at CNN, this looks like an artifact of lots of Santorum’s rural counties having reported most of their precincts, with Cuyahoga and Hamilton counties (Cleveland and Cincinnati) only having counted their early votes.
