So the guy who is behind by 8% is projected to win? Makes a lot of sense.

How can they do this when Romney is currently in the lead?

[wgadget]

Romney 40%, Gingrich 32%.

Makes sense to me.

We just don't understand. We have to let our overlords make the numbers work!

Maybe they're basing it on their exit polls?

[wgadget]

You guys think that there might be more than just us Ron Paul supporters pissed off at Fox and CNN?

[cstarace]

It's based on the exit polling. There are a ton of high-population districts that haven't reported yet.

A Gingrich win is probably better than a Romney win. It slows down his train.

[Brett85]

They better hope their exit polling is right then. Otherwise, we're looking at Florida in 2000 all over again.

This actually puts us in 3rd place for delegates. At least it forces contention among the candidates and it isn't seen as a one man race.
