Don’t get down yet! It’s not over by a long shot!
DELEGATE RACE AS IT STANDS NOW:

Santorum- 59, of those 44 are non-binding= 15 solid
Gingrich- 32, of those 2 are non-binding= 30 solid
Paul- 20, of those 12 are non-binding= 8 solid
POPULAR VOTE TOTALS:
Romney- 1,746,046
Gingrich- 977,272
Santorum- 929,807
Paul- 462,187
Washington votes on Saturday. It is proportional with 43 delegates.
Look at the Super Tuesday Calendar.
Alaska 27
Georgia 76
Idaho 32
Massachusetts 41
North Dakota 28
Ohio 66
Oklahoma 43
Tennessee 58
Vermont 17
Virginia 49
These ALL proportional delegates. Now, tell me, which of these do you think Mitt is going to win? Massachusetts, of course. Ohio, maybe. Vermont, yes. Virginia, not if all of the Rick and Newt supporters vote for Ron Paul! And again, these are ALL PROPORTIONAL!
MITT CANNOT LOCK THIS THING UP FOR A LONG TIME! And anything can happen. Of course, there are no debates because Mitt and Rick chickened out, but you never know in this race!
And you're right about VA being the key. My bet? Most people don't bother to show up in VA, period. That likely works in Paul's favor because his supporters are zealots. Doesn't really accomplish anything for Paul, but it DOES keep 40-odd delegates out of Mitt's pocket.
Mitt takes the NE, Newt gets the big banana (GA), and who knows about the rest. I heard that Santorum was polling well in OH.

WOW, it just hit me, this will show the ANTI Romney vote straight up. This could be the most revealing primary vote of the year, one way or another. I hope Ron Paul (I mean Santorum & Newt voters) TROUNCE Romney. It would be far bigger blow to Romney than a Newt or Santorum win, were they on the ballot.
I want to see a thread here for Virginians to tell us how it felt to vote for Ron Paul. Does it make you feel dirty inside, or maybe tingly, like hitting your funny bone? Sort of a “good pain?” Or is like living a strange, creepy nightmare that you can’t wake up from?
