Well, it looks like there's some cake left over after all in the aftermath of the Ohio Republican presidential primary. The "Wedding Crashers" Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman made a dent, but didn't do enough to totally derail the primary.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has been declared the winner of the GOP primary in the Buckeye State, but it was no easy task. Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum was the people's choice in Ohio's rural counties -- winning in 69 of the state's 88 counties -- but the bigger population centers in the Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, and Akron areas came through for Romney in the end.
Perry and Huntsman collected nearly 14,000 votes between them on Super Tuesday. The spread between Romney and Santorum was about 12,000 votes.
I'd like to pick the brains of the folks who supported Perry and Huntsman even though both men have been out of the race for the past month or so. Who are those folks and why did they vote the way they did?
Gotta love politics.
