Here are five quick stats from yesterday's voting here in the Garden City.
1. Paul in second place - barely. Like the rest of Massachusetts, the majority of Newton voters who cast Republican ballots went with Mitt Romney. However, the Garden City differed slightly from the rest of the state in that Ron Paul was the second place finisher, not Rick Santorum -- although it was just a five vote difference (336 votes to 331). 2. Low turnout. According to the unofficial results from the Newton Election Commission, 6,480 of Newton's 54,260 registered voters -- or 12 percent -- showed up to vote in yesterday's primary. During 2008's presidential primary, 56 percent of Newton's registered voters cast ballots. 3. State committee man. Newton voters preferred the hometown candidate for the First Middlesex & Norfolk District…
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney finished Super Tuesday strong, winning four states and leading in two more at by 12 a.m. Wednesday.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney finished Super Tuesday strong, winning four states, and leading in two more, including a neck-and-neck race with contender Rick Santorum in Ohio, where a recount seemed possible. Speaking to a crowd of roughly 400 at the Westin Copley Place Tuesday evening, Romney congratulated his rivals Santorum and Newt Gingrich for their victories in the rest of the nation. He thanked Ron Paul for his “…steadfast commitment to our Constitution.” Romney continued with comments on the economy, taking quick focus on President Barack Obama. “To the millions of Americans who look around and can only see jobs they can’t get and bills they can’t pay, I have a message: You have not failed.” He said to cheers. “This …

A little more than 6,200 Newton voters turned up to the polls for Super Tuesday.
Although just 6,200 Newton voters made it to the polls Tuesday, the results were decisive: Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee of choice for the Garden City. When polls closed at 8 p.m., the unofficial results showed Newton voters followed suit with the majority of Massachusetts, giving Romney 75 percent of the GOP vote. Based on the number of registered voters from November's municipal election (54,102), only 11 percent of Newton's registered voters turned out for today's primary. (We will have final figures for you Wednesday from the Newton Election Commission). Today's turnout is a far cry from the 2008 presidential primary. That year, 56 percent of Newton's voters came out to throw their support behind a presidential candidate. …
