2-Point Win Is 2nd-Biggest MARH 25, 2012 BY JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
Rick Santorums 22-point margin of victory in yesterdays Louisiana primary was the 2nd-largest in any GOP primary this year and was the largest outside of any candidates home state. Santorum received 49 percent of the vote in the Bayou State, equaling the combined tallies of Mitt Romney (27 percent), Newt Gingrich (16 percent), and Ron Paul (6 percent). Prior to the race, polling had shown Santorum up by 12 to 14 points.
The 22-point margin was Santorums biggest in any primary to date, and it surpassed Mitt Romneys largest margin in any state except for his home state of Massachusetts. (Candidates have, however, posted larger margins in some caucus states.)

What I thought was really interesting was when Rick, on Face the Nation, brought out the fact that Romney does not have as many delegates as he claims.
There is an RNC rule that says a state that votes before April 1, in the primaries, canNOT be a “winner take all” state, so it appears Romney will lose some delegates in some of the states he won in (I think I am remembersing this correctly.)
