While Romney may have gotten the delegates he needed to hold on to his front-runner status on Super Tuesday, the razor-thin victory he appeared to eke out in Ohio won’t do much to restore the mantle of inevitability he once wore.
With nearly all of the vote counted, Romney had a lead of about one percentage point over Rick Santorum in the Ohio primary and was the apparent winner.
Even with 100 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday night, there still will be an estimated 40,000 votes outstanding.
