Thanks to the pesky dual time zones in Florida, the polls are still open until five pm Seattle time. We'll start reporting on results then, but here's something to chew on: While a few pundits are suggesting that the race will be all tied up by the time the night is over, Public Policy Polling would like to remind you that there are more states in the Republican primary besides Florida.

In Ohio Gingrich is at 26% to 25% for Romney, 22% for Santorum, and 11% for Paul.

What might be most interesting in both states is what happens in a head to head between Romney and either Gingrich or Santorum:

-In Missouri Santorum leads Romney 50-37 and in Ohio Santorum leads 45-38.

-In Missouri Gingrich leads Romney 43-42 and in Ohio Gingrich leads 42-39.

Two takeaways from those numbers: if this ever came down to Romney, Paul, and just one out of Gingrich and Santorum, Romney would be in a lot of trouble. And he'd be in more trouble if the single conservative alternative ended up being Santorum.

Romney is the likely nominee. But if either Santorum or Gingrich drop out sometime soon, the race becomes a race again. And that's a bad sign for Romney in the general election.
