I wish Ron Paul could win the GOP nomination, but probably it's better to get used to saying president Santorum.

99% sure it's gonna be Romney, not even really close.

Nah, the Santorum surge is for real (just don't check it by google-imaging it), I'd be honestly surprised if he doesn't pick most of the southeast states, and Paul will probably rise in a few polls too (specially northeast?), even if he doesn't win them. 

People dislike Romney as a person like no other GOP nominee, and like even your post shows, he gets and always got momentum by making it look like he's inevitable.

Romney will always going to struggle in the South. It's why they pushed Florida up (most likely Romney state in the south), and changed all the delegates to proportional... Romney would have been completely cut off the nomination if they remained WTA.

VA will be an interesting one to watch, as only Paul and Romney are on the ballot. No Santorum/Gingrich to divvy up the religious vote.

I'd say that the North East is the strongest region for Romney - perhaps the most moderate region in the country. The fact that Paul has done so well there (let's be honest, he's won the straw vote in Maine) should be exceptionally worrying for the Romney campaign.

If the race hasn't been finalized by April, there's always Texas...  155 delegates, Paul's home turf, strong religious vote, conservative, somewhat libertarian (well, at the federal level), and proportional... could be Paul's single biggest gain in one vote.
