Romney Wins Washington State

Mitt Romney has handily won in Washington state. The results with 95% of the caucuses reporting are as follows, according to Google which sources Associated Press:
37.6% Romney
24.6% Paul
23.9% Santorum
10.4% Gingrich
Apparently 3.5% of caucus attendees spoke up for other candidates. Google also has an Associated Press map of Washington showing which counties favored which candidate.

This win gives Romney a nice boost going into Super Tuesday three days hence. He now has won roughly 16% of the 1144 delegates necessary to have a majority, according to The New York Times. Santorum, the second highest, has won exactly half as many.
