Santorum's big counties in Ohio are reporting close to 50% or more, while Romney's vote centers have reported less then 5%. This is going to be a long night.

Ohio results - Santorum 38.4%; Romney 37.6%; Gingrich 15.5%. Under 1% of precincts reporting.
UPDATE (8:07 PM):
Add "critical" to the drunk-blogging game... Fox is projecting Oklahoma for Rick Santorum, so all three main candidates have at least one state in their column tonight.
UPDATE (8:03 PM):

Note: 419 delegates will be awarded in tonight's 10 contests. Ohio is the biggest prize at 66 and Vermont has the smallest give out at 17.
UPDATE (7:40 PM):
Paul's strong showing in Virginia is impressive, but the vote rich areas of Norfolk and Richmond have yet to report in, which will put a dent in his overall vote percentage.
UPDATE (7:35 PM):
While results in Georgia and Vermont are slowly come in, Virginia has nearly 20% of precincts in - Romney 58%; Paul 42%. Awaiting Ohio...

UPDATE (7:15 PM):
This is going to be a long night, so if you need to eat, drink, or get some alcohol for every time someone mentions "its too close to call," I would suggest doing so now.
UPDATE (7:11 PM):
Fox apparently believes Romney's forty point lead in late Virginia polls does not warrant an immediate call.
UPDATE (7:03 PM):
Polls are now closed in Georgia, Vermont and Virginia. It's safe to project Newt Gingrich has won Georgia, while Mitt Romney has won Vermont and Virginia. We will publish results as they come in.
