With 93% of the vote in, Mitt Romney is leading Rick Santorum by 7,229 votes in Ohio. Romney has 38% of the vote while Santorum has 37% of the vote.

To put this number in perspective, Rick Perry received 7,227 votes tonight in the Buckeye State.

I’m just sayin’.

UPDATE: Now with 96% of the vote in, Romney leads Santorum by 12,040 votes. It’s not just a Perry factor but a Perry-Huntsman factor. The two former candidates received a combined 13,717 votes. Are these protest votes? Or mischief by Democrats?

Idiots. Thanks for throwing the election to the leftist pretender.

So how do they divide up the delegates since no one got a majority?

Clint| 3.7.12 @ 1:34AM

Ohio Delegates Are Awarded Proportionately. It's Not A Winner Take All State.

The Tea Party Rebellion Heads To A Brokered Convention.

The Tea Party Rebellion heads off the cliff because it can't even win a single GOP primary.

I hope you'll be there when the GOP nominee needs your support to defeat President Obama in November.

Clint| 3.7.12 @ 7:04AM

The RINO-CINO Buffoon, PCC Is Satisfied Because The Ruling Elite's Patrician Fop RINO-CINO Frontman, Mittens Romney Is Ahead.

The Tea Party Rebellion Will Force A Brokered Convention.

PCC| 3.7.12 @ 7:54AM

Now I know what they mean when they say, "Don't feed the trolls".

No doubt the Tea Party rebels will be more than happy to sit in their bomb shelters for another four years spewing spitballs at the TV because their favored candidates can't even win a single GOP primary, let alone a general election against President Obama.

Really dude...it's obvious that your guy won...but do you really think that the Tea Party has no impact? Is that really what you think?

By the way, Clint and Ron Paul stole the tea-party mantra...This Tea Party sympathizer (ME) doesn't support that side of things...

The Tea Party is a large group of people who are sick and tired of being lied to and misled when we gave Republicans a chance to govern for 2 Presidential terms and 12 years of Congressional majority....and WHAT DID IT GET US???????

1. The same mess of things just as bad as the Democrats leave us.
2. Barack Obama as president.

You mean to tell me that you can't see that?

Fred V| 3.7.12 @ 8:39AM

Erick Erickson voted for Perry. In Georgia.

JGwen| 3.7.12 @ 11:50AM

I want a candidate with a solid record of successful conservative Governance and conservative (particularly judicial) appointments. I want a candidate who would take on the sharks and pretenders among the elected and the Bureaucracies and knows who they are and where to find them. I want a candidate I am confident would take on a full repeal of ObamaCare and the Enviromarxist policies that are killing our energy self reliance and jobs. He isn't in the current lineup! Governor Perry did endorse Mr Gingrich. I am thinking about it. I do respect Governor Perry and his recommendations. I am also thinking about letting EVERYONE know my position on the vital issues as I see them, by either voting for Governor Perry in the primary if he is on our ballot or writing him in if he isn't.
