Ten states are holding presidential primaries or caucuses Tuesday – and many Republicans are hoping the results begin to bring an unusually volatile primary season to a close.

It’s doubtful that Romney will get the 50 percent he would need in order to win all Vermont’s delegates, but he should still win by a comfortable margin. If one of his opponents can get hit the 20 percent threshold required for proportional allocation, then he’ll get a share of the state’s delegates. Paul has the best shot at this – he also did well in New Hampshire, and this is an open primary. Santorum will likely struggle here, with voters who are famously independent, but not particularly socially conservative.
