US Super Tuesday Summary: Romney "Wins", But It's Not Decisive
Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 6:58Mitt Romney addresses supporters in Ohio on Super Tuesday
I have just spoken with the BBC about last night's contests for the Republican nomination for President --- audio to be posted later this morning --- with the take-away points: 1) Romney may have narrowly won the biggest state, Ohio, but the race goes on; 2) Romney is especially vulnerable, if the supporters of Newt Gingrich move towards Rick Santorum; 3) it's "money" v. "motivation" --- Romney has the bankroll, but Santorum's voters are far more committed in their support.
And 4) The biggest winner on Super Tuesday? Barack Obama.
Romney wins 5 states, including Ohio; Santorum takes 3; Gingrich nabs Georgia

Mitt Romney won five Super Tuesday states including the big prize of Ohio, while Rick Santorum took three states and Newt Gingrich grabbed a vital triumph in Georgia, CNN projected.
