15:27Now Playingdemocracynow.org - The Republican presidential race appears headed for the long haul after the "Super Tuesday" slate of primaries failed to produce a decisive winner. Mitt Romney won six states, including what appears to be a slim victory over Rick Santorum in the main battleground state of Ohio. Santorum won three states, while Newt Gingrich won his home state of Georgia. Romney currently enjoys a sizable lead in delegates, with around one-third of the number needed for the nomination. "Nothing was settled last night, far from it. In fact last night actually gave at least a measure of encouragement to both Santorum and to Newt Gingrich," says John Nichols, political writer for The Nation. In Ohio, outspoken antiwar Rep. Dennis Kucinich lost to Rep. Marcy Kaptur in Tuesday's Democratic primary, making Kucinich the first incumbent to lose their re-election bid in 2012. Kucinich has said that he may establish residency in Washington state, where there is a June filing deadline to run for a new congressional seat in the Seattle area. Two dozen towns in Vermont called on Congress to push a constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizen's United ruling and address the issue of corporate personhood. Vermont could become the third state after Hawaii and New Mexico to endorse similar proposals.
