To say that this is getting better and better is ridiculous imo.

I counted 4 counties averaging the requirements My projection was 3.900x4 = 15600 - So you can guess how close it is with 15.200 lead now

I based this on Hamiltons County with still has only 45% reporting and shows biggest lead for Romney

I still think Romney can pull this out, if you double Cuyahoga and Hamilton, tie Lucas/Franklin, Romney can make up ~20K votes.

Yes but Santorum wins votes there too if you do it mathematically you have around around 10k votes out of the cleveland and the cicinatti county that Romney can catch up.

wow this is about as close as it gets... could come down to a few hundred votes.

delegate counts notwithstanding, if Santorum pulls out Ohio this is a disaster of a night for Romney...

lol DailyKos's Romneybearishness. It's an EPIC DISASTER if Romney loses Ohio, and is still bad even if he wins because people going to bed think he's a loser.
