8:25 PM PT (Steve Singiser): As we still await the decisive final handful of precincts in Ohio, here is a pretty amazing stat from the downballot races: in both OH-01 and OH-02, with nearly all precincts in, both Democratic House primaries are 50/50. Less than 125 votes separate winner from apparent loser. Insert your own shopworn pablum about the majesty of democracy here...

8:28 PM PT (Steve Singiser): Ohio is starting to turn from a disaster for Mitt Romney to merely an underwhelming win for Mitt Romney. With 90 percent reporting, he has now moved out to a 5500 vote lead over Rick Santorum.

8:36 PM PT (David Nir): In the final uncalled Ohio congressional primary, the Dem contest in OH-09, Dennis Kucinich is looking utterly doomed. A straight linear projection has him losing 53-43 to fellow Rep. Marcy Kaptur. The margin in Lucas County (where Kaptur's hometown of Toledo sits) is a comical 94-4. Just shows that you really shouldn't dis part of the district you're hoping to represent. And in Ottawa County, Kucinich is actually in third place behind Some Dude Graham Veysey, who stands to get less than 4% of the district-wide total overall.

8:47 PM PT (Kaili Joy Gray):

Here's a story: Rick Perry has received more votes in Ohio than the margin of error between Santorum and Romney at 6,559 votes.
— @BuzzFeedAndrew via TweetDeck 8:57 PM PT (Kaili Joy Gray):

Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH) concedes to Brad Wenstrup. Wenstrup wins in upset.

The Oreos!

It's Super Tuesday in wingut world, and other than the cable news pundits and political junkies, no one really cares. Flipper will continue his inevitable march towards the GOP nomination, and the rest of the candidates will hang in until their fat cat benefactors tell them to go and get a real job.

I actually want to blog about something much more important tonight: the 100th anniversary of the Oreo cookie! That little treat is as A-merry-can as apple pie.

So anywhoo, in honor of A-merry-ca's favorite cookie, I would like to award some of my fellow Negro A-merry-cans with the first ever Oreo. (Kind of like the Oscars but less acting involved.)

1. Beyonce- This Diva gets two Oreos. She would have named that crumb snatcher White Ivy if she had her way.

2. Allen West- Allen gets three Oreos. Allen wants to be on the republican ticket as VP, but I don't think they want to run two white guys this time around.

3. Larry Elder-Three Oreos for Larry. Larry actually wrote a book called "Stupid Black Men." Yes he did.

4. Jesse Lee Peterson- I was just on Jesse's show so I am only going to give him one Oreo. Jesse actually said that "black racists elected Obama." Poor Jesse. I actually feel sorry for the guy.

5. O.J. Simpson-Juice never really cared much for you Negroes until he killed his wife and needed you all to set him free. Now Juice is where he belongs. I wonder if he hooked up with the Aryans in prison. Four Oreos for O.J.

6. Herman Cain- Herman, I notice that all your jump offs had one thing in common. Four Oreos for Herman.

7. Every black Tea Party member in A-merry-ca-What do you think all those Tea Party folks are going to do when they get bored with Obama? Five Oreos for you Negroes.

8. Thomas Sowell-Thomas probably doesn't even eat Oreos. At least not the cookie part. Four Oreos for Thomas.

9. Tiger Woods- No comments needed. Five Oreos for Tiger.

10. Niger Innis- Maybe it's his name. Anyway, Niger says that "Obama has failed the country." I am guessing that Niger wouldn't say that about a white president. Three Oreos for Niger.

Congrats on your Oreos, folks! Now go out and drink lots of milk.

BTW, I am live-tweeting Super Tuesday. @thefieldnegro

Newt's Other Big Win

Not only did Newt confound the elitist eggheads by winning his home state, it looks like he swept the daddy sweepstakes as well. Take a look at Snooki's sonogram, if that isn't the perfect combination of Newt's and Snooki's features, I don't know what is. Makes me want to scream, "Da Newty Plane! Da Newty Plane!"

Helmet tip to KC Tomato.
