Ohio Primary 2012 Results MAP (REAL-TIME DATA)

Here are the results for the 2012 Ohio Republican primary.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) went into the Buckeye state contest virtually tied with Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts and current GOP frontrunner. According to the latest data from HuffPost Pollster, Sen. Santorum led Gov. Romney 32.6 percent to 32.5 percent. Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House, trailed with 15.7 percent of the vote, while Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) had 11.9 percent.

In 2008, Romney finished in fourth place in Ohio, with just 3.3 percent of the vote, according to The New York Times. Rep. Paul finished ahead of Romney, garnering 4.6 percent of the vote, to take third place in the contest.

There are 66 delegates up for grabs on primary day, but only 63 will be awarded based on Tuesday's vote. The three remaining delegates are Republican party officials who are not bound to any particular candidate.

I love how my county (Ashtabula County) is the only county in the North-east part of the state to go to Ricky.

The long-term trend of the GOP defunding public education and encouraging home-schooling is alarming. It is a many-tentacled beast; it keeps women tied to the home; it keeps children sheltered from educated points of view, and it grows a new crop of true believers.

I mention this now because, looking at the map, Santorum is taking the rural areas while Romney is taking the bigger cities. In the long run, the fact that Santorum is taking this many districts in Ohio at all is truly truly frightening.

This may actually be the best result. The extremist didn't win but the frontrunner limped to the victory.

With more than half the states? I think not. Plus he had the two greatest margins in other states. The big picture speaks for itself.

Ohio kind of sums it up - Even if Romney wins in Ohio - he loses!

I hope this circus continues as long as it can. The millions that these candidates have poured into these states is the most jobs created by the republican party.Spend baby spend!

You said:

“Name 2 ‘failed liberal economic policies’...bet anything I never hear from you again.”

I said:

"The two biggest failed liberal economic policies - whether perpetrated by Republicans or Democrats - are the policies of running expansionary fiscal policies (i.e., deficits) and allowing the Fed to run expansionary (i.e., zero percent interest rate) monetary policies.

I say 'whether perpetrated by Republicans or Democrats' because Bush's monetary and fiscal policies have been nearly as profligate as Obama's. However, to a true fiscal conservative (or libertarian, as in the case of Ron Paul), spending what you don't have is anathema."

It sounds like you may be a hy pocrite, Bob. :-)

HOOOOO BOY! The Crazies are having a night, aren't they? I live in this country, have for 58 years and I don't understand who these people are!

Its good to see Santourm doing so well, that means the circus will last longer and the GOP will continue to self destruct. By November they will have torn each other to pieces.

I am wondering whether the Republican heirarchy would allow Santorum to run. He is an astonishingly weak general-election candidate.

[walkaway]

11:08 PM on 03/06/2012

But he is spending a 10th of what Mitt is spending to run neck and neck. People just don't like Romney.

Nor do they like Paul. Nor Gingrinch. Nor SAnctorum. It's marvellous political theatre, isn't it?

Let's face the obvious, people. People don't like Romney because he is LDS. I was in a caucus sitting next to five individuals voting for Santorum and Paul and all they were talking about was how we can't let a Mormon in the White House. The fact of the matter is he is the most qualified to beat Obama. Get over his religion people.

And those like minded with Michael Moore are hoping on hope for Santorum for the nomination. That is how ridiculous the difference is.

Who says this is too close to call, Romney?

No. The voters do, apparently.

This is looking real scary. Who are candidate 1%'s consultants? I am certain they are praying that Newt doesn't get out of this thing or Santorum would clean their clocks with no money, no message, and no chance!

I was going to say the same thing - the only thing keeping Romney in this race is a thrice married ex Speaker that was drummed out of the House by his own party.

I get seriously frightened thinking about people voting for Santorum. Then I read these posts and people are laughing and joking and it makes me feel a wee bit better. It's not that I believe he can beat Obama...it's that there are actually people out there that want him to.

Where in the world are the GOP voters?

Have you looked at the turnout in many of these counties?

And Ohio is supposed to be such a pivotal swing state?

This is an ominous foreboding for the GOP in November.

Go Obama!
