Only ten states voted on March 6th, compared with the 21 that voted on the last Super Tuesday in 2008; and they delivered a mixed message. Mitt Romney, the front-runner, won six of them. His nearest rival, Rick Santorum, won three, and came within a percentage point of wresting the main catch of the day, Ohio, away from him. The remaining state, Georgia, went to its native son, Newt Gingrich: maybe just enough to prevent his campaign from dissolving in its own bombast. Ron Paul, a strident libertarian, won nothing, but his campaign will soldier on to the end. Nothing, in short, was settled on a night that was more about losing than winning. But Mr Santorum lost more than Mr Romney did. Mr Romney, however, was a loser as well. He faces a long slog to reach his target of 1,144 delegates. Unless Mr Santorum gives up--which he has no obvious reason to do--the contest will not be settled for many weeks yet. More seriously, Mr Romney once again managed to remind America how weak his support is in the Midwestern states in which elections are won and lost. With the sole, admittedly large, exception of Florida, he has won solid victories only in states that are either small or very unlikely (such as Massachusetts) to vote Republican in the general election in November.
