Not Romney slot in MO being filled by Santorum (updated)

Results Moments Away

Josh Marshall

We’re a few minutes away from the first results from the Missouri primary. We’ll have live county by county results here.

This is, to put it mildly, a weird contest. First, it’s non-binding. No delegates are actually at stake. Second, Newt Gingrich did not manage to get on the ballot. So it’s Romney, Santorum and Paul.

There’s been very little polling of this contest. But the latest poll out this morning shows Rick Santorum with a double digit lead over Romney. Add anecdotal reports of light turnout. And that makes it even more unpredictable.

1. How do they apportion delegates? nm

2. Light turnout for

a non-binding election that doesn't even have one of the candidates on the ballot... I'm shocked I tell ya'. I'd rather stay home and watch Big Bang on TBS.

Why do they even bother with this?
