Too close to call

As I write this, election analysts in Ohio say the Republican presidential primary race is still too close to call. Well, it's 10:38 p.m., people, get the votes counted already!

I'm kidding, of course. Having worked in the news industry for many years and having covered many elections, I know the folks at the local boards of elections work pretty hard on an election day; check that, extremely hard.

According to the Ohio Secretary of State's website, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum is leading former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by just 1 percentage point, 38 percent to 37 percent.

Observation of the Obvious: That's pretty tight, fella.
Former Speaker of the U.S. House Newt Gingrich is a way-back third and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul is running fourth.

Bizarre Stat of the Night (So Far): Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman have each picked up votes from Ohioans even though they dropped out of the GOP primary race. Perry had 5,231 votes and Huntsman had 4,374. Uh huh.

Anyway, it's now 10:47 p.m. and Ohio is still too close to call.

Does that mean Ohio is 2 Legit 2 Quit?

Sorry, Hammer.
