Based on the results reported as of 11 P.M., Mitt Romney was leading in no counties in either Minnesota or Missouri.

Indeed, Mr. Romney is doing quite poorly to date in the Republican race outside of wealthy urban counties, a pattern that, in general elections, is more characteristic of Democrats.

Among the five states to have voted before tonight, plus the in-progress results from Minnesota and Missouri, Mr. Romney has won only 73 counties from among the 412 to have reported results in the Republican nomination race so far, giving him an 18 percent success rate.

That's followed by a chart showing that Romney won 9 out of 10 counties in NH and 13 of 16 in Nevada, but only 32 of 66 in Florida, 16 of 99 in Iowa, 3 of 46 in South Carolina, 0of 110 in Missouri and 0 of 65 in Minnesota.

1. Who is doing well instead?

Santorum.

What does this say?

Desperation.

Gingrich is now as relevant as Paul.

Couldn't look better for a second term.

The Catholic doctrinal play must've been planned.

My compliments!

2. So his best areas are where Dems do great and he craters where Rebubs shine!

Add the enthusiasm Gap and he is FUCKED.

3. Wow:

With almost all of the votes counted in Missouri's primary tonight, turnout is tracking to about 250,000 votes.

About 590,000 Republicans voted in the Missouri primary in 2008, when the primary there counted toward delegate selection.

The turnout problems continue.
