Round one went pretty much according to plan; all the top seeds won, as expected.
The biggest upset came as Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas, seeded 12th in his division, defeated Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who was seeded 5th. Daniels, re-elected last year rather comfortably over former Congresswoman Jill Long Thompson, has long been a favorite of the GOP establishment and is thought to be looking at 2012. Brownback, on the other hand, had his shot at the brass ring last time out. But he never made an impression and was gone from the race in October 2007.

Everyone I voted for seemed to be winning except for some reason Crist is ahead of Jindal. I passed on Romney v. Paul.
Yeah it was a tuffy for me too with Romney vs. Paul. I finally settled on Romney. Paul in my opinion is a presidential tough sell. Maybe Sec of Treasury or Surgeon General.......
Happy to report that Brownback is running for Governor, to clean up the mess left by Kathleen Sebileus’s quest for a federal job.
