Illinois Primary Results

Romney seems to have all the momentum going in. Only thing that could possibly save Santorum is a surge like the one in Minnesota/Colorado when he massively increased his support just before the contests.

What exit poll is this? If so, that's a disaster for Romney. He was up by 7 on Santorum in MS. 5 point win is weak for Mitt.

When do polls close?

It's mad. Catholics in Ireland (particularly up north) are far more likely to vote for a catholic than a protestant, and vice-versa. But in America identity politics seems non-existant among catholics.

Only up North, surely.

The vast majority is up north, but I've seen some identity voting in places like Monaghan too. Of course it's not an issue when there are no/very few protestants in the area/on the ballot which is quite common.
