Polls close in Maryland and DC at 8 ET; Wisconsin’s polls close an hour later. Here’s your Google Map. In Wisconsin and Maryland, some delegates are awarded by Congressional District, but on a winner-take-all basis, with another, at-large batch in each state awarded on a statewide winner-take-all basis. DC looks to be a simple winner-take-all contest. The party leaders look to be bound to the winner in WI and MD, but not in DC.

Santorum speaking from Penn. Says 1/2 way done. Going to come out strong for 2nd 1/2.

 

There have been rumors around that Santorum & Gingrich are going to come to some sort of understanding, in order to take out Romney.

Romney sweeps primary night, wins Wisconsin contest, Fox News projects

Santorum, though, pledged to press on Tuesday night and outlined a path -- however narrow -- to victory in the nomination battle.

 

He hammered the point that only half the total delegates available in the GOP contest have been awarded, and predicted the April 24 primary in his home state of Pennsylvania could turn the tide.

 

"We have now reached the point where it's half-time," he told a Pennsylvania crowd, having long since left Wisconsin. "Who's ready to charge out of the locker room in Pennsylvania for a strong second half?"

 

Santorum continued to say Republicans need to pick somebody who can demonstrate a clear contrast with Obama in the fall.

 

"We don't win by moving to the middle," he said, claiming Republicans win by getting the middle to "move to us."

 

Though four other states are also voting on April 24, Santorum predicted a Pennsylvania win would effectively reset the mood.

 

"The clock starts tonight," he said. "After winning this state, the field looks a little different in May."

 

According to the latest delegate tally, though, Romney is at 646 delegates. Santorum is far back at 272, followed by Newt Gingrich at 135 and Ron Paul at 51. Santorum would have to win an overwhelming majority of the remaining delegates to surpass Romney. Even preventing Romney from hitting 1,144 before the convention is becoming increasingly difficult.

 

Endgame?

None of the others have any money and now don't have any chance of getting donors to a lost cause. It's over. And as usual, when DE finally gets to vote in a primary, it is useless. See you in November.
