Delegate counts: Why Mitt’s primary night wasn’t a total wash

Tags: alabama primary delegate delegates gop gop 2012 mississippi primary mitt mitt romney republicans rick santorum romney

  • yeah … Mitt Romney had a rough night last night, losing two major Deep South states — and worse, getting in third place for each. The losses gave Rick Santorum some major momentum for the weeks ahead. (Especially if Newt drops out.)
  • … but Romney won caucuses in Hawaii and America Samoa. And because Alabama and Mississippi award delegates proportionally, the result is that Romney was the winner last night by net delegate gain. He increased his lead by six. source

Santorum wins Mississippi: And Romney totally blows it … with a third-place finish. Someone had a rough night, and it’s the one whose reputation Dan Savage didn’t ruin for five years.

Rick Santorum • Emphasizing he’s going to seize upon his momentum after winning Alabama. He’s also looking like he could win Mississippi. Mitt Romney had a rough night tonight.

I think Tumblr should just call Mississippi for Santorum. Just for kicks.

EDIT: Based on nothing other than a request from inothernews, Tumblr has called Mississippi for Rick Santorum!
