SUPER TUESDAY 2012





February was a strange month in the Republican nomination process.

The month started with Romney winning Florida and it looked like he was going to cruise his way to the nomination.

We saw Newt Gingrich fade away to where he is counting on Georgia being his last hope for another surge.

We witnessed the Santorum Surge… giggle… with his wins in Colorado and Minnesota. Bonus was his victory in the Missouri Primary that didn’t count for anything.

Maine’s Caucus produced a result that raised some eyebrows about the integrity of these results.

Michigan was a win in the popular vote for Romney, but in the delegate count it was recorded as a tie… then the Michigan GOP reviewed the results and gave Romney a 2-delegate win.

So… here we are. 10 states, 437 delegates are at stake
