After regaining the momentum with victories in Michigan and Arizona last week — and another in Washington State at the weekend — Mitt Romney looks set to enjoy a pretty good Super Tuesday. He’s very unlikely to win all ten states voting today, but will probably substantially strengthen his position in the all-important delegate race nonetheless.
Much of the focus has been on the two biggest states: Georgia and Ohio. Georgia should provide Newt Gingrich with a much-needed and fairly comfortable victory — it is the state he represented in Congress, after all, and he’s focused a lot of his efforts there. The polls suggest a 20-point or so win for Gingrich in Georgia, but Romney looks likely to beat Rick Santorum for second place. Until recently, Santorum was the narrow favourite to win in Ohio, but in the last few days Romney has pulled ahead in the polls.
