...Okay, Not Totally Boring

Sure, Romney won with the requisite double-digit lead (requisite to the pundits, that is). But Paul exceeded expectations, it seems, winning almost 24% of the vote. (though the sage Charles Franklin reminds us in a recent tweet to be wary "of declaring an overperformance by Paul. Lots still out. Romney will rise. Paul will fall most likely."

Take a look at these exit poll results for some eye-opening patterns: Paul rocked the youth vote, winning 46% of younger voters, but none of them were college grads--according to this poll, precisely zero% of college grads voted for Paul, while Romney and Huntsman dominated the college-educated vote. Really surprisingly, Romney won a greater % of the evangelical vote than did Rick Santorum.

Less surprisingly, Romney won nearly half of those who said their family is "getting ahead financially" (though those voters comprised only 16% of the electorate). But he edged out Ron Paul and did-I-tell-you-my-father-was-a-coal-miner Santorum among those who said their family is "falling behind financially" (also 16%).

Meanwhile, Huntsman cornered all 4% of Democrats who voted, along with all those who said they are enthusiastic about President Obama.
