You just have a thing against Mormons. HHOK! Thanks for the update.
I predicted that Tennessee would surprise if we did not see any polling ahead of time. Santorum is the talk of my conservative friends.
rumor on the street here in mississippi is ricky s is surging too....newts southern wall is crumbling...if ricky beats romney in michigan his momentum will likely over take newt in georgia...and we have our nominee...unless he falls apart like every one else
East TN resident here. My Santorum yard signs are scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
For those wondering about Republican politics in Tennessee, the right wing, social/fiscal/defense wing of the Party outnumbers the left wing, business wing of the Party, but the left wing has the most money. They usually are able to convince enough of the squishy middle to get their man elected. I’m thinking that they won’t be successful this time. There is a lot of buzz for Santorum, and it’ s growing daily.
Gingrich failed.
His greatest claim-to-fame was his debating skill.
Romney beat him in the 2 debates leading up to Florida.
Without debating skill, what is a Newt Gingrich?
I’ll never forget the deer-in-the-headlights stare when Romney assaulted Gingrich early in that first pre-Florida debate.
That was NOT the Newt Gingrich I had come to know and love. It was some kind of Rick Perry version of Gingrich standing there looking tongue-tied and stupid. (Sorry, Rick Perry, I do like you as a person but you are a debate loser.)
And it should have been an easy question for Newt to handle... but he blew it. And he went on to blow some other easy ones.
Oh well. Look at my posting history. I was big on Newt during the Newt surge... but it’s time to stop the vote-splitting and get on with the business of defeating Romney.
That leaves us all with only one choice left: Rick Santorum.
Not my first choice, not by a long shot, but the only choice any of us have right now.
Unless you like the idea of Romney getting the nomination.
Wait until Romney and his pac unload on Santorum. It’s going to be brutal and there is no way Santorum wins in the general.
