Primary Day in DC, MD, WI

Ninety-five delegates are up for grabs
in today's GOP primaries
in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Wisconsin. Almost half of the delegates will be awarded in winner-take-all Wisconsin where Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are battling for the number one spot
As Mitt Romney continues his quest for the 1,144 delegates required to win the GOP nomination, Google Search data in Wisconsin indicates interest in Romney surged (to the tune of +125.1%) during the week leading up to the state’s primary. By contrast, interest in Newt Gingrich decreased by 19.7% during the same period of time.
Although Rick Santorum has dominated search during much of the past week in Maryland, Mitt Romney took the lead over the last day. If Romney manages to sweep the popular vote in Maryland’s congressional districts, he stands to take home all of the state’s 37 delegates.
