Update: Santorum and Romney split four contests. Santorum wins contests in Alabama and Mississippi, while Romney wins Hawaii and American Samoa. Romney actually increases the delegate spread, however, by more decisive wins in his contests. Newt actually had somewhat of a comeback and actually posted his best results in quite some time.

Mississippi, Alabama, and Hawaii vote today in the 2012 Republican primary as they aim to be the choice to take on Obama in Novemeber. They become the 24th, 25th, and 26th states to cast ballots, thus marking a bit of a midway point in the contest. Here is what to expect and what is at stake for each of the candidates:

Mitt Romney Romney remains the front runner and is far ahead of his opponents in delegates won, vote percentage gained, and states carried. He is expected to win Hawaii, but was not expected to do well in the southern contests until polls earlier in the week showed Romney either tied or ahead in both states. His continued goal is to rack up delegates in states he is not supposed to do well in while dominating in states he is supposed to win. So far it has added up to a winning strategy. Rick Santorum Santorum seems resigned to the likelihood that he can't win enough delegates outright to topple Romney and seems content with a "take it to the convention" strategy. In order to get to a contested convention, he and Newt need to slow down Romney's accumulation of delegates in states like Alabama and Mississippi. Santorum is also trying to break out of his regional candidate status and score solid wins outside of his comfort zone. Newt Gingrich Newt is the other candidate who wants to see this race go into a contested convention, but he wants to be the alternative to Romney in such a scenario. Alabama and Mississippi become essential to his resurgence strategy as he is the "southerner" of the race. Two wins tonight would bring his win total to four, not an impressive haul but good enough to carry him through a handful of upcoming favorable states including Louisiana.
