Nor can Mr. Santorum count on consolidating support from Newt Gingrichs former supporters, even though Mr. Gingrichs campaign has gone into a sort of hibernation period. Mr. Gingrich is at only about 7 percent support in the recent Wisconsin polls, so not very many of his supporters are still up for grabs.
Mr. Santorum has outperformed his polls in many states, including Louisiana last week, so there is still the chance of an upset. Otherwise, however, Tuesday could be a very strong night for Mr. Romney.
Wisconsin awards its delegates on a winner-take-all basis, although partly based on the statewide vote count and partly at the Congressional district level. The overall winner of the state receives 18 delegates; an additional 24 are awarded, 3 at a time, to the winner of each of the states eight Congressional districts.
Although Mr. Santorum could be more competitive in the Third, Seventh and Eighth Congressional Districts, which lie outside Milwaukee and Madison and their suburbs, winning those alone wouldnt get him very far, yielding him 9 delegates from Wisconsin to Mr. Romneys 33.

Yes, we know. You want Romney but are afraid to come out and say it. So you hide behind the “I want Newt” baloney.

If memory serves, the importing thing is to keep Romney from hitting 33% where he gets the lion's share of the delegates. Vote Santorum, vote Gingrich, vote Paul. I don't care which. If someone other than Romney can't "win" the nomination, let's at least take it to the contested convention. It may not be victory, but it is a thumb in the eye of the establishment. (P.S. I think Romney and Santorum are closer to neck and neck than the polls say. Just my 2 cents as a resident.)

It is a strange twist of irony indeed that, as many here prognosticated early on in the Obama regime on scenarios where he might suspend the 22nd, it appears elections in November are going to be canceled anyways due to the absence of a choice.
