Romney wins Ohio but fails to shake off rivals

Mitt Romney eked out a close victory in Ohio but failed to land a knockout blow against rival Rick Santorum

Comment:

Gingrich didn't do very well, except in Georgia.

The significance is that Romney does not do well in the South.

Aside from mostly blue states, Romney doesn't win.  The claim that Santorum would have won more if Gingrich drop out works in Ohio and Alaska.  Those two could have made it a Santorum night.

Newt may be finished.  He claims he can go on, but that may be a hard sell.

The party is fractured and that doesn't good look for November.

Nothing much appears to have changed, even with a president as woeful as this one is.
