According to the numbers Dana Bash just reported, John King did the addition - and Mitt Romney would likely be ahead.
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 3/7/2012 3:50:46 AM
@EUGENE PONDER It's proportional.

Eugene Ponder: All States today are proportional

In fact, there's a chance one candidate wins the popular vote and another gets more delegates.

If you're wondering what county you'll be hearing a lot tonight on-air, I'd guess "Cuyahoga County" #CNNElections
by sgallman 3/7/2012 3:55:19 AM
Even though I have very little to do with it - I'm so proud of CNN's comprehensive election coverage. Looks awesome.
by Peter Hamby via twitter 3/7/2012 3:56:15 AM
Si @Timodc Cuyahoga (sp?) still not even half in? OH could end up going Mitt +2% even.
by Vaughn Sterling 3/7/2012 3:56:43 AM
Which, Steve, of course evokes the R.E.M. song "Cuyahoga" from their 1986 album Lifes Rich Pageant.

This, folks, is why they call them The Best Political Team on Television.
by Sam Feist via twitter 3/7/2012 3:58:07 AM
CNN=only network counting OH votes itself. CNN: Romney is ahead. Other networks still have Santorum ahead. #CNN Elections.

It's time for another open...

.@MEBradenTN here in Nashville, peering over my shoulder at google's Ohio map and asking about Callahan Brake Pads in Sandusky

"Ohio, Ohio, Ohio." - Guess who?
by SurrattCNN 3/7/2012 4:00:40 AM
For those of you considering journalism as a career, and think there is no math.... tonight should quash that.
by Peter Hamby via twitter 3/7/2012 4:01:08 AM
Joey Votto voted for Romney. Just kidding, he's Canadian.
by mark.joyella 3/7/2012 4:01:14 AM
@SurrattCNN This means I'm unqualified for any kind of work.

Wolf Blitzer: "It’s a knockdown, drag-out fight for Ohio between Rick Santorum & Mitt Romney"

CNN counting the votes in Ohio. Our unofficial count with new votes from Hamilton county puts Romney ahead. #CNNElections.
by LisaDCNN 3/7/2012 4:04:30 AM
Just did live shot with radio station from Australia and they asked two main questions "Why does everyone care so much about this state of Ohio?" And "who won in Alaska?" Proximity, or a common starting letter, apparently, matter.
by The Phenry 3/7/2012 4:05:34 AM
who holds the advantage in the remaining 2k precincts? i.e. Cuyahoga?
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 3/7/2012 4:06:07 AM
86% of the vote is now in - Romney is ahead of Santorum...it's what we had before because of Dana Bash's numbers. But the percentages have it tied at 37%.
by Peter Hamby via twitter 3/7/2012 4:09:47 AM
all week in Ohio, Romney people whispered "it's gonna be tight, but we think we'll pull it out." looks like that may come true.
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 3/7/2012 4:10:01 AM
You're right Wil Surratt - a lot of math going on in the control room tonight, and in the Cube.
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 3/7/2012 4:11:14 AM
There's a LOT of commotion in the Cube right now. It looks like you're about to see Mark Preston and #CubeNewsNetwork on TV very soon. Get ready...
by David Gergen via twitter 3/7/2012 4:12:02 AM
Appears Romney has prevailed in Ohio, gotten lots of delegates, remains frontrunner. But he still struggles to get lift-off. #CNNElections
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 3/7/2012 4:12:06 AM
Yes - it appears we have an update on why the votes have not all come in yet in Ohio. Stay tuned for Mark Preston's report from the Cube.
by Candy Crowley via twitter 3/7/2012 4:12:50 AM
Romney grows lead in Ohio, but is small. No matter what ..will be hard to look at the totality of night and not say Santo brought it.
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 3/7/2012 4:13:02 AM
Tom Foreman in the virtual convention.
by Dana Bash via twitter 3/7/2012 4:13:26 AM
Congressional news from Hamilton county now - looks like jean Schmitt may have lost her primary to brad Wenstrup #CNNElections
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 3/7/2012 4:14:01 AM
Right now if you're watching CNN, you're watching me type this.

From a pro! “@SusanPage: Kudos to CNN for reporters in 1) Hamilton County OH and 2) Wasilla Alaska. Both paid off big.”#CNNElections

"We might not have an answer" at 2am says political director Mark Preston.
by Steve Brusk 3/7/2012 4:15:03 AM
For Santorum camp, has to be some thoughts tonight of the failed ballot effort in Virginia and the delegate chances missed out on in Ohio
by Gunnygal 3/7/2012 4:16:08 AM
Wow, watching the map and the colored results is like playing the game of Risk. The only problem is, this is for real!
by Peter Hamby via twitter 3/7/2012 4:16:09 AM
Tennessee GOP Chairman Chris Devaney now handing out more Moon Pies
by Vaughn Sterling 3/7/2012 4:17:07 AM
Right now the difference between Romney and Santorum in Ohio is about one half of 1%
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 3/7/2012 4:17:59 AM
For what it's worth, our CNN.com/Conversation vote has it exactly at 50/50 for Ohio!
by Etan Horowitz 3/7/2012 4:21:28 AM
Where are Edith and Carolyn tonight? Get them in this chat!
by Bsam145 3/7/2012 4:21:40 AM
Brokered convention would be extremely interesting. I was a 92 Appointed Delegate to one of the conventions. A great learning experience and would like to see an actual floor fight for the transfer of delegates, makes the process more involved. Ohio will be a late vote!
by The Phenry 3/7/2012 4:21:46 AM
If the recount requirement is .25%, based on remaining expected votes what magic # is that?
by Dana Bash via twitter 3/7/2012 4:24:52 AM
I revise my observation from earlier contests. Sometimes endorsementsmatter @robportman delivered big for romney in Hamilton #CNNElections
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 3/7/2012 4:25:31 AM
