remained about 100 delegates in favor of obama. at a certain point do the states become less important than just the shear math of the delegate count take over? absolutely. this is all about delegates. even tonight. it s about delegates. in the end though, there are some other issues here. how is romney doing in the south? he he starts taking third in some of these southern states, you know, that s a that just shows weakness there i don t think it will matter much against obama in the fall, necessarily. but it does show that there may still be a schism in the party. on the other hand if gingrich takes third outside of georgia, then he is a home state candidate. home state favorite rather than a regional candidate. one other thing, you mentioned delegates. that s why virginia and ohio are so important. in virginia tonight, romney is likely to win of the 46 delegates who are up for grabs 41 of them and in ohio even if he has a narrow loss, in all likelihood because of santorum s fa
