The GOP Establishment, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama will view this as Newt winning the "Cracker" vote.

Newt Gingrich's [non] concession speech.

[Michigan Bowhunter]

Won the war. Lost the battle.

[Gene Eric]

Hang in there, Ross Santorum.

[Lynne]

53.6% reject Romney.

Saw Newt last night, I’d be more confident in him to bring us Senate and House Majorities, Romney has got to show the political leadership to getting those majorities or we end up stuck with the (non)Affordable Health Care bill, and thank God Newt stays in. Florida gets Punk’d, Axelrod is Punk’d too, as Romney does do better than 25%.

We are soooooooooooo screwed. We have been for a while.
Is this the best we can do against the worst president ever?

Well on to the next primaries and cacuses.

Let’s see how the rest of the south goes.

[goseminoles]

Mitt got the populated counties..

[campaignPete R-CT]

turnout was down 17% vs. 2008 primary (McCain vs. Romney).

[xzins]

And make no mistake, the LSM began broadcasting results before polls were closed. In the general election they don’t do this. It injured Bush’s vote count in 2000.

I’ve no doubt it injured Gingrich’s yesterday.

[The Citizen Soldier]

My prediction: In the general election, Mittens (if, God forbid, he is the Republican nominee) will lose thirty of the thirty-three counties he won last night.

[matthew fuller]

Romney 46.4%

Non- Romney 53.6%

Thanks for the map.

It looks like Newt got the old south and Mitt got the Northeast retirees and the Hispanic vote, thanks to Rubio.

There's a silver lining there.

Other than that, the result, IMO, was due half to Mitt's ad budget and half to Newt's poor debate performance last week.

Newt can fix his debating skills with coaching, which he should get ASAP. The coach needs to be pretty rough on him.
