The fight for Tuesday's votes was carried out in earnest yesterday as candidates vied for the day's 419 delegates

Idaho, a state second only to Utah for Mormon population, was a good state for Romney. He took home 61.6% of the vote there, which runs second to the big win he amassed from his state of Massachusetts, where he ran the state as Governor. In that state, he garnered 72.1% of the primary votes cast.

Romney took Virginia as well with a comfortable 59.5%,, where he went head to head with Ron Paul. Many of the Republican voters in that state stayed home in protest over the exclusion of Santorum and Gingrich from the voting ballot. Voter turnout was a dismal 5%, that number is unofficial however, but only half of the 490,000 voters that caste a ballot in the 2008 Presidential election, even bothered to go out and vote.

Romney’s win in Vermont was reflective of the strong showing that he can muster in the Northeast. He took away 39.8% of the vote in the Green Mountain state. His win was a given because of the lack of effort from the other candidates to woo the vote in that state.

The vote in Ohio came down to the wire, with a 1% difference between support for Romney and Santorum. With 99% of the vote in, Romney looks like he took the Buckeye state with 38%.

In the first round of the drawn out process of picking a Republican candidate in Wyoming, Romney took a huge chunk of the votes. He pulled in a big 55.7% of the ballots cast. That state will not finish up until April.

Romney’s sixth win in the Super Tuesday contest was in the Last Frontier state, the largest state in the Union gave Romney 32.6% of the vote with 96% of the precincts accounted for. Ron Paul, the only candidate to come to the state took home a respectable 24%, behind both Romney and Santorum. Santorum took 29% of the Alaskan vote.

Of the 10 contests Santorum took part in, he took home a second place win in five of them. Ohio, Wyoming, Alaska,Massachusetts, and Idaho gave him runner-up placements. But, Santorum took in a commanding win NorthDakota yesterday. He has his midwestern roots to thank for that win. He grabbed a 39,7% of the vote in that state, followed by Paul with 28.1%. Paul had wanted that state and had campaigned hard there.

Oklahoma was put into the win column for Santorum as well, he scooped up 33.8% of the voters there. He led the second place winner by almost 5% in Sooner country.

Santorum also grabbed victory in Tennessee. With a nine point margin, Santorum walked off with 37.3% of the ballots in the Volunteer state.

In the last Super Tuesday state, Georgia, Newt Gingrich snagged up a huge 47.4% of the Empire state vote. His home state was a must win for him and win he did. This is his second primary victory, his first being South Carolina in January. With this Georgia win, he can still argue that he is the favored candidate in the South. Georgia was the big delegate state on this voting day with 76 delegates.

Yesterday’s primaries put 419 delegates up for grabs. Overall, in all primaries so far, it looks like Romney has the lion’s share with 404, Santorum has second with 165, Gingrich has 106 in his bag and Ron Paul is hanging on with 66.

1,144 delegates are needed for the Republican nomination.
