Not a Done Deal Yet...Yet

I know that we're all enjoying the chaos of the GOP nomination race and hoping that Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich continue beating each other up for a while longer. But, the math is starting to look more promising to Romney after he won Ohio and 5 other states last night. But, that doesn't mean the fun is over.

Santorum has a couple reasons for staying in the race. First, he's narrowly lost Michigan and Ohio to Romney despite Mitt outspending him 4 to 1 in those states. Second, he correctly surmises that if Gingrich drops out, the conservative wing of the GOP will unite behind him. Ultimately, Santorum still looks to be heading for defeat (which is hard to feel bad about) and is going to face increasing pressure from the party to bow out but he can still do some damage.
