Never saw that win coming in as big as it is. Despite the money it takes to play in Florida, I wouldn't count on Romney simply coasting to recovery there. I mean, really, if Romney's "organization" versus his inability to win over the base resembles anyone right now, it's Charlie Crist.

Not saying that he is going to lose in the end, but I find it odd that Romney is considered inevitable when he only has won 1 out of 3 states. And his support is soft as hell.

Ron Paul's election night speeches are always long, tedious and boring. One could say that Ron Paul's existence as a person has been long, tedious and boring.

Just when you think the entertainment has come to an end -- 12.5 %!

Ron Paul increased his support from 16,000 votes in 2008, to 78,000 in 2012. And that's within the context of the Deep South being pretty much indisputably the region where he's bound to do the worst.

Still doesn't change the fact that he's the only candidate left who hasn't won anything.

Santorum's campaign is shaping up to be exactly like Huckabee's, religious conservative who won Iowa then faded. Like Huckabee, I'll suspect he'll stay in the race and up winning forgotten caucuses in Kansas and Nebraska after either Newt or Romney has dropped out.

That's a pretty funny map.

Not saying that he is going to lose in the end, but I find it odd that Romney is considered inevitable when he only has won 1 out of 3 states. And his support is soft as hell. Part of that is that for all practical intents and purposes he won Iowa-he got all of the media bounce out of it, he had lots of people crowing that he was a steamroller frontrunner after seemingly taking those first two states-yes, in the end it was Santorum, but Santorum has lost all of the momentum that winning the state at the time would have given him.

Even if Santorum's win had been accurately reported on the night of the Iowa caucus, virtually nothing would have changed. The media essentially reported it as a tie between Romney and Satorum (which was fair of them), and would have done so regardless. I thought we were all pretty much taking it for granted since December that Santorum was 2012's Huckabee.

Still doesn't change the fact that he's the only candidate left who hasn't won anything. On the other hand, he's also the only candidate who has posted a strong showing in every state.

Romney has beaten Paul in every state. Plus I don't think SC was that great for Paul.

Yes, I mentally blanked out Romney's existence for a minute there. That'll probably happen more often as the campaign goes on.

4th place is not a strong showing.

Out of 4 remaining candidates...

Right.

That Paul won't do well in the Deep South is something of a given. If he continues to make strong showings everywhere else, that will be impressive.
