The AltTulsa crystal ball is usually hazy on such matters, but we feel confident on this Super Tuesday in predicting a big GOP win for Rick Santorum in the Sooner state.
We also predict that Santorum's win in Oklahoma won't matter because Mitt Romney will carry the day.
Like it or not, Oklahoma is no Ohio—and Ohio counts in a way that Oklahoma doesn't. Ohio is a more important state with more clout on the national stage. So even if Santorum wins big here, the significance of that win will be overshadowed by a Romney win in Ohio.
Moreover, Santorum is losing ground as the national GOP gets behind Mitt, even in Deep Red Oklahoma.
In fact, Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn has endorsed Romney. That endorsement won't help him much today, but it's another sign that Santorum doesn't have the money or the organization or the popular appeal to reach the Republican nomination.
As for Newt Gingrich, he's toast. He can win Georgia and maybe do well in other states. But Gingrich has been losing steam for weeks and we don't expect he'll get his mojo back today.

Yes, it's about that time for all good Republicans to grit their teeth and get behind the inevitable Romney.
Palin is over, so who will be picked to excite the base this time?
The GOP doesn't lack for weirdos and ideologues. Bring on the next act of the freak show!
