Fueled by the wins in Arizona and Michigan, Mitt Romney won the Washington Caucuses on Saturday. He topped Uncle Ron by thirteen points (38-25), while Rick Santorum (who had been leading the Washington polls for a while) fell to third with 24%. These caucuses are non-binding so it doesn't mean much in terms of actual delegates (who won't be allotted until June). But it does help with perception. Mr. Romney has now not lost a contest since Mr. Santorum's three state back in the middle of February.
So now we wait for Super Tuesday. Polls continue to narrow in Ohio, now showing Mr. Santorum leading Mr. Romney by only two points. Mr. Romney is ahead in those people that have already voted, but only by 4 points and early voting has been very light this year. Still, it's always nice to start with a lead and if momentum can carry you, starting ahead by an extra step won't hurt either.
