I am calling it. Romney wins. Gingrich fails, and drops out of the race (as he promised, surely he won’t break that promise).
PRESIDENT
110 of 236 Districts Reported
REPUBLICAN PARTY
NEWT GINGRICH 27 . 2 %
RONALD E. PAUL 10 . 8 %
MITT ROMNEY 55 . 9 %
RICK SANTORUM 6 . 1 %
Ginger Gibson @GingerGibson
Four district reporting in DE, all in Sussex County, and Romney leads. Not good early signs for Newt.
The Fix @TheFix
Things no one ever thought would be written: “For Gingrich it all comes down to Delaware”.
RT AP: @MittRomney wins the #CTPrimary
HuffPost Politics @HuffPostPol
Mitt Romney wins the Connecticut and Rhode Island primaries
All districts reporting are from Sussex Co. So, Gingrich is failing. Romney will win the Delaware Republican Primary.
@GingerGibson: Really early results, Newt losing Kent and Sussex counties. He’ll never win Del. without those two.
Doug Denison @DoverDelDenison With 9% of districts reporting, turnout is just 2% of registered Republicans #netde
NBC News declares Mitt Romney the projected winner in Delaware.
Two percent turnout? Can we say enthusiasm gap?
Fifteen percent.
How’d’ya like that Christine O’Donnell? She endorses Mitt, he takes the state.
Apparently there is so little excitement for any of these races that the local NPR station is warning people that they will be talking about the possibly more exciting General election tonite in addition to the boring GOP primaries.
what is even scarier is that 2% of the registered republicans voted
WORSE!! – 6.1% voted for someone not even running for President!!
ROTFLMO!!
And to think some people complain about school board election turn-out 🙂
If I direct you to the numbers, Jason and Aoine, will you acknowledge that turnout was NOT 2 percent, but rather 16 percent?

yes – you are correct
HOWEVER! a man NOT even running for office still had 1,690 REPUBLICANS vote for him
and 551 were in Sussex
800 in DOver
and
339 were in Kent
maybe they didnt have Faux news on…..
Newest numbers – 16% of registered Repubilcans voted
im still looking to see what is the dumbest District in Delaware
in other words where Santorum got the most votes…
and the winner of the DUMBEST REPUBLICAN ED is:
1. the 33rd Electoral District with 104 votes cast for Santorum
2. the 38th ED with 93 votes casst for Santorum
3. the 41st ED with 80 votes cast for Santorum
4. the 9th ED with 73 votes cast for Santorum
no surprises there
whoops not Dover – sorry
New Caste county
800 votes for Santorum in New Castle – but lets look at the per capita ratio
thats why I broke it down
That happens all the time in politics. Even happened with DEMOCRATS.
Just one example: In the Delaware Democratic primary of 2008, more than 4,000 people voted for candidates who weren’t running. The primary was Feb. 5. By that time, Joe Biden had dropped out (but got 2,863 votes), as had John Edwards (1,241), Dennis Kucinich (192) and Chris Dodd (170).
But hey, don’t let facts stand in the way of your sanctimony and ignorance.

Anon – at least the Dems you mentioned knew early on that they didn’t have a chance of winning the nomination, unlike Scrotorum, who kept tilting at the windmill. Still a huge enthusiasm gap for Rmoney, especially in the tehadist branch of the GOP.
16% of registered Republicans voted. Feel the Mitt-mentum!
