The constant mixed results from the Republican primaries are simply giving the impression of how doubtful party voters are with the current candidates. Mitt Romney once seemed to be the front runner, and has been so for quite some time. But is he conservative enough for his party? Santorum's very conservative views makes him the ideal candidate for conservative Republican voters, explaining his recent rise in the presidential race. Ron Paul does not seem like he will drop out. I figure he just wants to get a message across.
The ten state primary predicted a great indicator for Mitt Romney, as he totaled with the most delegates won, gaining victory in six states. Ron Paul came out as the biggest loser, winning zero states.
Coming in as second place loser, was Newt Gingrich, who only won his home state of Georgia with 47% of the vote. His ever decreasing popularity as a candidate continues to clear the smoke, as he couldn't even win half the vote.
The Victories:
- Vermont, Ohio, Massachusetts, Alaska, Idaho and Virgina: Romney.
- Tennessee, Oklahoma and North Dakota: Santorum.
- The State of Georgia being the sole winner for Gingrich.
- There were no states that gave more than half of their votes to Ron Paul.
Vermont was the only state that Paul out-won Santorum, as well as Gingrich. His closest call was in the state of Virginia where he won 40.5% of the vote, losing to Romney's victory by just 19%.
I expect to see more mixed results for the next primary.
March 10th, a primary will be held in the state of Kansas.
Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands and Northern Mariana Island will also participate in the Republican primaries.
