the longer that the two stay in, gingrich and santorum, they help romney. but they actually really hurt him, too. dana: we were talk about this in the break, eric. gingrich actually looks at santorum wins and says we re not that far apart, why should he back out? eric: i traded oil with venezuelans and the saudis. watching last night was the most exciting thing. at 11:03:00 p.m. romney was down by # 2,000 votes. 11:05 he was up by 2,000 votes. i fought karl rove a lot on this but all night long he said just watch. watch when bigger counties report. it will be a romney victory. it s very strong. we had in-depth analysis that was spot on. i loveed watching it.
victory to claim victory in the state of vermont. mitt romney has won vermont, he he has won virginia and newt gingrich his home state of georgia. carl cammeron live with us tonight. that s it for the ones that have closed thus far. we are three minutes away from the big prize, ohio. sorry, shep, yes. indeed, it looks as though the buckeye state will be one of the most decisive and important contests of the entire super tuesday event. there are 66 delegates in play here. and there has long been a structural well-known problem that santorum faces. he is not eligible to win delegates in three of the congressional districts and he was unable to file a complete so-called delegate slate in a handful of others. all tolled, 18 of the 66 delegates are not available for rick santorum to win. that means were santorum to hold on to the lead that he had and pulled off the actual
ineligible for 18 of the state s 66 delegates that puts him at substantial disadvantage. in the last few days in ohio mitt romney appeared to have surged in the polls. he had been down by double digits but the romney campaign points out romney has now won five states in a row and has the benefit of momentum. a victory in ohio in the popular vote and delegate count for romney would be significant. it s not his native state like it was in michigan and it is an important rust belt state adjacent to pennsylvania where rick santorum runs strong. it has a lot of meaning for both of these candidates. shepard: speaking of a lot of meaning the state of tennessee tonight may tell a story as well, carl. well, it s a southern battleground and tennessee is going to be one of the closer ones. this is another state where rick santorum has been running strong. he had a lead for quite some time. santorum is expected to do very well in oklahoma tonight. but, in tennessee over the course of the last

kansas in those states that lie ahead now in the next primary contest. but, for tonight, a big victory for newt gingrich here as he has won georgia and he has won it big, shep. shepard: yes, he has. thanks very much, john roberts live in the atlanta, georgia for us. now, ron paul is speaking. he had quite a show in virginia tonight. he has gotten some pretty good numbers in the state of vermont. his campaign is energized and is he live in fargo. listen. in like we spend too much money now and then. and we borrow too much money now and then. government grows and leads by leaps and bounds. one of the things that they have done over these last 100 years has been very detrimental especially last 40 years they want the government to grow endlessly. run out of money, guess what they start doing? they start printing money.
