Ohio and Georgia GOP Chairs Talk Super Tuesday

The Takeaway

By the numbers, Georgia is the biggest prize this Super Tuesday with 76 delegates. Perhaps most telling will be Newt Gingrich’s performance in his home state: if he wants to stay competitive in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, he’s going to need a decisive victory in the Peach State.  Ohio, with 66 delegates of its own, may be the biggest psychological prize. Many have declared this the race to watch, as no Republican nominee has ever become president without winning the swing state in the general election. Sue Everhart, chairwoman of the Georgia GOP and Kevin DeWine, chairman of the Ohio GOP, discuss each states’ importance in determining the Republican presidential nominee.
