Early exit polls: Evangelicals turn out in big numbers

In Georgia, about two-thirds of voters are evangelical Christians, according to preliminary exit polling. The proportion bumps up to nearly three-quarters in Tennessee; it’s around half of all voters in Ohio.

Turnout among evangelicals across the three states is at least as big as it was in the 2008 primaries.

The evangelical Christian vote has been a trouble spot for Mitt Romney in several states, and helped fuel Rick Santorum’s win in Iowa and Newt Gingrich’s in South Carolina.

Gingrich will do well in GA as we all know.

But does InSanitorium have enough support left to put a big dent in Rmoney's momentum (such as it is)? I guess we'll know soon enough. I have no cable here so I'm gonna have to wait for tonight's news to find out how things are going.

I hope it ends up being a real f*cking mess.
