Super Tuesday
From the Chicago Tribune, a wrap-up of what happened yesterday voting-wise:
Alaska
Caucuses: 27 delegates
Romney won this state, a longtime GOP stronghold, in 2008. Sarah Palin, the former governor and vice presidential nominee, showed up to vote at a caucus on Tuesday.
Georgia
Primary: 76 delegates
Gingrich, who represented a Georgia district in Congress for 20 years, won the Peach State, raising his hopes for next week's primaries in Alabama and Mississippi. Gingrich had almost 50 percent of the vote, with Romney beating Santorum for second place.
Idaho
Caucuses: 32 delegates
This state has a large Mormon population, and as expected, Romney won in landslide.
Massachusetts
Primary: 41 delegates
Romney, the former governor, won handily with more than 70 percent of the vote. Santorum was a distant second, garnering 12 percent.
North Dakota
Caucuses: 28 delegates
Santorum won the caucuses, with Paul finishing second. The Texan spoke at a caucus Tuesday in Fargo.
Ohio
Primary: 66 delegates
Romney won by a slim margin. The state was considered the big prize of the night, particularly since it's such an important state in the general election.
Ohio is also key because this Rust Belt state borders Michigan, where Romney was raised, and Pennsylvania, Santorum's home state.
Oklahoma
Primary: 43 delegates
This socially conservative state with a large population of evangelical Christians was won by Santorum with about 34 percent of the vote. Romney and Gingrich were in tight battle for second.
Tennessee
Primary: 58 delegates
Santorum won the Volunteer State, another conservative state, with about 38 percent. Though Gingrich was a lawmaker from neighboring Georgia, Romney finished second, with 28 percent, while Gingrich had about 23 percent.
Vermont
Primary: 17 delegates
Romney, the former governor of neighboring Massachusetts, won with about 40 percent. Vermont, known for its independent spirit and liberal leanings, helped Paul make a strong showing, as he and Santorum each won almost 25 percent of the votes.
Virginia
Primary: 49 delegates
Romney won with 60 percent, with Paul second. Santorum and Gingrich, who lives in Virginia, failed to get on the ballot.
