UPDATED- NBC Calls Alabama for Santorum & Mississippi Too

Just announced per Rachel and Chuck Todd. More when I get it.

Ugh. Mississippi goes for the Frothy One. Santorum makes me want to urp. NBC called it at 10:50p. Link when I get it.

Via AP-

In Alabama, with 76 percent of the precincts counted, Santorum was pulling 35 percent of the vote, Gingrich had 30 percent and Romney 28 percent.

Returns from 92 percent of Mississippi’s precincts showed Santorum with 33 percent, Gingrich 31 percent and Romney 30.

Rep. Ron Paul, the fourth contender, made little effort in the states on the day’s ballot.

There were 107 Republican National Convention delegates at stake today, 47 in Alabama, 37 in Mississippi, 17 in Hawaii caucuses and six more in caucuses in American Samoa. (Hawaii caucuses are scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. at 40 locations statewide. For a list of locations, go to www.gophawaii.com.)

    The whole process of counting the delegates won has me stumped.  CNN has one number for each candidate, MSNBC has another and Fox News different numbers yet.  Its obvious that the Republicans don’t have any rules that are clear so that the numbers of pledged delegates, won delegates, leaning delegates are all lumped together for the purposes of each candidate.  They can’t agree at the news outlets.  So if you want to know who’s winning, look to Obama.  DG
