Super Tuesday Ohio Primary Results 2012: Where To Watch Live

Ten states are up for Super Tuesday tonight, but the results of the 2012 Ohio Republican primary are perhaps the most critical.

No Republican nominee has ever become president without winning Ohio in the general election. There are 63 delegates up for grabs Rust belt swing state tonight to be divided proportionally among the top candidates, the largest number of delegates in one state on Super Tuesday besides Georgia.

According to the most recent CNN/Time poll, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum remain tied at 32 percent support each, followed by Newt Gingrich at 14 percent and Ron Paul at 11 percent.

If Rick Santorum wins Ohio on Super Tuesday by a good margin, he could go from an unlikely frontrunner to the presumptive nominee, proving that his emphasis on social issues over economic ones won't alienate him from potential voters.

If Mitt Romney takes Ohio, however, his status as the de facto nominee throughout the Republican primary race will become a near-certainty. It will also show that he can appeal to blue-collar families, the core of Ohio's voting base and one area where Romney's rich guy gaffes have cost him potential votes.
