Results: AK, GA, ID, MA, ND, OH, OK, TN, VT, VA

6:58 PM PT (Jed Lewison): More Romney:

Romney: "Obama killed bin Laden. I will bring bin Laden back to life." #SuperTuesday
@BorowitzReport via web
6:59 PM PT (Jed Lewison):
Mitt Romney, "I know what it's like to not be able to afford another home or wonder where your next course is coming from."
@RepJackKimble via Twitter for iPhone
7:01 PM PT (Jed Lewison):
Mitt, you better hope the GOP is willing to settle.
@LOLGOP via TweetDeck

7:01 PM PT (Jed Lewison): Romney declaring victory tonight. He does not live on the same planet as you or I. He had better hope Santorum doesn't win OH, ND, and AK, or tonight is going to be a crushing blow.

7:02 PM PT (Jed Lewison): Mitt "Too Rich For Words" Romney is now begging people to donate money to him at his website. No thanks, Mitt.

7:03 PM PT (David Nir): In OH-09 (again, doing a manual canvass of county election websites—Steve Singiser is a hero), with 53% of precincts reporting (broke down thusly: Erie 100, Lorain 81, Cuyahoga 43, Lucas 33, Ottawa 0) Dems: Kaptur 52, Kucinich 44, Veysey 4. GOP: Kraus still leads the Plumber 52-48.

7:07 PM PT (David Nir): Romney's starting to claw his way back in Ohio. With 54% reporting, it's Santo 38, Romney 36.5.

7:07 PM PT (David Jarman): It's likely, despite Newt Gingrich sweeping Georgia statewide (48 to 25 for Romney and 20 for Santorum), that Mitt Romney might wind up getting more delegates out of Georgia than he did out of Tennessee, where the margin was much closer. Romney's ahead in only three counties in the state, but they're the ones where all the people are: Fulton (Atlanta), DeKalb (Atlanta's eastern suburbs), and Chatham (Savannah). So he's at least likely to nail down GA-04 and GA-05, and possibly GA-01 and/or GA-13 (plus one-third of the state's statewide delegates, since he and Santorum both cleared the 20% mark).

7:07 PM PT:
I would like to note the moment that Twitter started discussing which programming language is Mitt's native tongue.
@anamariecox via TweetDeck

7:09 PM PT (David Nir): Media outlets are now calling North Dakota for Rick Santorum.

7:11 PM PT (David Nir): So that's three states for Santorum, three for Romney, and one for Gingrich tonight. Still waiting on Ohio (of course), as well as ID and AK.

7:13 PM PT (David Nir): Yowza! A whole bunch of votes just got reported in OH-02 (R), and Mean Jean Schmidt is now up just 46-45 over Brad Wenstrup, or 220 votes, with 37% reporting.
