Rick Santorum got a rough result in the Washington caucuses on Saturday, finishing third in a state he had seemed to have a reasonable shot of winning. Now, Mr. Santorum’s slump is carrying over into the polls in crucial Super Tuesday states.
In Ohio, Mitt Romney has been the beneficiary of this. Although some polls still show Mr. Santorum with a lead, Mr. Romney was ahead in the majority of surveys that were conducted over the weekend and seems to have favorable momentum. Our forecast model there now shows Mr. Romney ahead by 2.5 percentage points there, and makes him a 2-to-1 favorite to win the state.
Mr. Santorum is also creating opportunities for his opponents in the two other Super Tuesday states that have been heavily polled [.....]

Time to change the Dagblog headline Tuesday: Ohio Is Santorum-licious! ?
He's gone to whining the victimhood of campaign finance, that's a strong sign of desperation from a Republican. It just couldn't be that a lot of Republican primary voters like birth control, college educations and separation of church and state, that's not in the Santorum mindset, no way that can't be it.

The Limbaugh divide- pro-Rush Ohio Republicans support Santorum 39-35. Anti-Rush ones go 39-30 for Mitt: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2012/03/limbaugh-and-birthers.html

Is interesting after hearing Carville rant on Maher's show last night that Limbaugh and the establishment GOP are one and the same thing, that there isn't any other GOP left standing that could be called the party's establishment
