So Mitt Romney won Ohio barely, and only at the last second. Not a compelling narrative for his candidacy. He also ended up winning Virginia (where only Ron Paul was his competition), Vermont (neighboring state to his home state), Massachusetts (where he was Governor), Idaho (where there are Mormons) and Alaska. Santorum won Oklahoma, North Dakota and Tennessee. Gingrich won Georgia.

So what’s next?

Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results: Mitch Crane

This is no surprise: Mitch Crane is overwhelmingly popular in a DL poll. He gets a 71% approval rating, with only 23% disapproving. His only obstacle to defeating Karen Weldin Stewart is too many other opponents. Because if the race was just Mitch v. Karen, Mitch would destroy her in a Markellian landslide. But if you divide the anti-Karen vote between Vincent White, some Gallagher candidate, Dennis Spivack (what?), and Mitch Crane, then Karen wins with her measly 30% of the vote. So the question must be posed to Mr. White, Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Spivack: When did McDowell pay you and how much was the check?
