A perplexing series of results keeps the Republican race going and going and going...
Time was that Super Tuesday was the moment when it was all
over bar the shouting. We could all select a probable nominee, quietly watch
the rest of the primary season tick quietly by and basically take an extended
break until the conventions at the end of summer.
Not this year. Whilst last night was a very good night for
Mitt Romney, it wasn’t a night of sweeping triumph, wherein he asserted himself
as the presumptive nominee. It was a night where his strongholds came through
for him, but he did weakly in other states and remained unable to claim much
support from the right.
