BOSTON — The delegates are going as fast as the mini-burgers at the Romney campaign reception. But Romney has not won all the contests tonight. Newt Gingrich decisively won his home state of Georgia, winning an absolute majority among evangelical voters. Rick Santorum came in second. Santorum has already won Oklahoma. This shows that resistance to Romney in southern and border states remains strong. Tennessee is still too close to call. Santorum had been leading there, but Romney has gained in the polls in recent days.
UPDATE: Santorum has won Tennessee, adding to Romney’s southern woes.
UPDATE II: Romney ultimately came in second in Georgia, not Santorum. Santorum led Romney in the earlier returns.

Romney will be the nominee.

Romney may not win the South, but the strategy is to add delegates to his cumulative total by finishing second or tying for second literally by percentage points. Texas is no longer assured for Gingrich, even with Perry's backing. The latest poll has Santorum in the lead there, so you can bet Mitt's team will set a goal of if not first, second in the Lone Star State.

Shouldn't Newt have won Tennessee if he has a southern strategy?
Oklahoma is a border state. Shouldn't he have won it too.
As for southern woes,let's not pretend his religion plays no part in it.

"...resistance to Romney in southern and border states remains strong." So what? Every one of those states are going to vote for the GOP nominee in November.
