   Full results [1]here.
   Notwithstanding the [2]chagrin on [3]much of the [4]right, the GOP
   probably dodged a couple bullets here yesterday.
   One, they didn't nominate Mitt Romney, who was unelectable. Whether
   it's fair or not, many evangelicals were never going to vote for
   someone from the Church of Mormon, which some regard as a step above
   Scientology and several steps below the Catholic Church. Considering
   how much flak Bush got for his very mainstream faith, it's hard to see
   how Mitt could survive six months of "educational" MSM coverage of his
   somewhat strange and non-mainstream belief system, much of which
   coverage would have been a thinly veiled attempt to keep evangelicals
   from voting for him over the Democrat.
   Two, Obama didn't win a clear victory. Now the Dems are in the
   worst-case scenario that the candidate with all the momentum is
   slightly behind, meaning the next few months will see a bitter
   struggle for the nomination that will consume vast amounts of money,
   drive up the eventual candidate's negatives, split the party, and
   force their candidates to pander to their base while McCain is
   campaigning to the middle as a general election candidate.
