POLL: Super Tuesday 2012 – Who Won?

UPDATE 10:25 p.m.: Super Tuesday gave Mitt Romney a comfortable lead and Rick Santorum some steam in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

When the counting was nearly over, Romney captured Ohio, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Virginia, and he nabbed the Idaho caucuses.

Santorum won primaries in Oklahoma and Tennessee and held the North Dakota caucuses.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich triumphed in Georgia, while Texas Rep. Ron Paul took the Alaska caucuses.

It takes 1,144 delegates to win the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., this summer, and Romney has a very comfortable lead with 386 delegates at press time.
