Are they going to be able to call this Primary tonight if it is within a few hundred votes?

I mean right now Santorum leads Romney by less than 1,000 votes.

If it is close, will the GOP come out and call the state for Romeny before the votes are all counted like they did in Iowa and Maine?

It depends on what the turnout is. TheWraith Feb 2012 #1

The fact Santorum is anywhere near that close is bad news for Mittens TheCowsCameHome Feb 2012 #2

If a few hundred votes is 1% of the vote, you probably can call it. If it's 0.25%, then probably not.

we had a choice between Awesome and More Awesome.

The republicans have a choice between the right height of trees, anti-education, a moon colony, and that crazy uncle you kinda love but DON'T WANT DRIVING THE CAR!!!
