With polls now closed in Mississippi and Alabama, exit polls show Romney with a slight lead in Mississippi and Santorum with a slight lead in Alabama as the race in both states remains too close to call.

Mittens in third in both states would be great.
The MSM wanted to make it sound like they could be renamed Mittenstan
I was looking at some of the votes the dims did for Obama in Alabama. In a lot of counties, UNCOMMITTED outvoted Obama on the dim ticket. Only Jefferson Co, Birmingham which is heavy black, voted solid for him. Many counties did not. He lost his luster with some dims here it appears. Must not have got that gov’mint check yet this week.
Results as they come in:
Drudge looks a little foolish, eh?
He all but declared Romney the winner in MS. Now it looks like Mitt could finish third, in both states.
Mittens 0 for 2 would be great.
Its beginning to look that way - huh? Yay!!1
Are the delegates winner-take all?
This is shaping up to be a Santorum night. He’s headed for a win AL and its a ding-dong three way race for MS.
Once again we have Gingrich splitting the tea party and male vote. had he withdrawn before WA, MI, OH, Santorum would have won these votes and Santorum would have been coasting for the nomination. The ego of one man Gingrich, described as a “Hindenberg waiting to explode” has thwarted this scenario. Romney needs to send bouquets of roses and more to Gingrich.
As much as I like either Santorum or Gingrich, Newt’s ego is killing this primary. He is giving up Romney as the nominee, and I’d like to slap him for that. (verbally, of course)

In both Alabama and Mississippi, it’s a cliffhanger, with Mittens Romney running in third place.

I’ve been a Newt supporter, but I could easily support easily Santorum. If Santorum wins these Southern states, maybe the time has come for a mano-a-mano between Santorum and Romney. At this point, that may be the only way to stop Romney.
Let’s see what happens.
As of now, why has Romney been given a delegate when he is coming in 3rd in Mississippi? The GOP-E has done everything in its power to shove this man down our throats.

Unfortunately, it may a bit too late for Santorum even if Gingrich quits now. Time after time tea-party voters and males are split between Gingrich and Santorum. Gingrich has undermined us all and taken us for a long and unhappy ride where we end up with Romney. He’ll make Rand Paul his VP and that will be the Republican Ticket for 2012. I hope I’m wrong but you heard it here first.

And when the REAL birth certificate stating "Caucasian" comes out....
Brett Baer on FOX just declared Alabama for Santorum.
I hope you are wrong. However, I don’t disagree with the fact that Newt has been a spoiler and has ruined this race by giving us Romney. I hate big egos. Not saying I hate Newt - I hate his oversized ego.
Let the calls for Santorum to drop out begin!
Aye, Gingrich will be owed the VP spot for having "given" Mittens the nomination. Suxx big time.
With 79% if the vote counted for Mississippi, I think Mittens can pack it in and call it a night.
I wonder how many Dems crossed over to vote Romney?
I wish I could say the same. But if Santorum is the GOP's nominee, I'll write in my choice in November.
did he look saddened?
Way to waste your vote and re-elect Obama. As much as I dislike Mitt - and even said I wouldn’t vote for him if he is the nominee - I will. I want the evil one out of the WH.
“I’ve been a Newt supporter, but I could easily support easily Santorum.”
I am underwhelmed by Santorum, but I would certainly vote for him in the general. That said, I am not going to help him get there. As it stands I feel like we are having to pick a ‘champion’ for a pit fight. I like the old bulldog, but he should have run eight years ago. Of the other choices, I am looking at a Lhasa Apso in a cute little sweater, a squirrel, and a hissing cockroach. I’ve decided I will support any of the candidates which is a mammal, and has an internal skeleton.
Well now. The same could be said about Gingrich. If Santorum would have bowed out, Gingrich would have swept.
Let the calls for Romney to drop out begin!! Woo Hoo!
Some people don’t get it. Newt fared very poorly with women voters. I’m not sure he could’ve swept - as you say. Both Rick and Mitt have been married to the same woman all their lives. Regardless, of how people aren’t supposed to judge - this has hurt him big time - as well as his little sit down with Nancy Pelosi and his favoring cap and trace for 20 years.
“I wonder how many Dems crossed over to vote Romney?”
In my precinct there was 1 (one) black person voting in the Democrat primary. She was the only person I saw voting in the Democrat primary at all. Several black males were voting in the Republican primary. Speculate as you wish as to their motives and candidates, but statistically that was very odd, albeit a miniscule sample. I did what I could to provide a free abortion to Bishop Willard’s Whitewashed Jackass candidacy.
He didn’t appear to be particularly sad. Let’s see how he looks when he has to call Mississippi for Santorum (or Gingrich).
Well, I swore I could never vote for Newt because of his personal life but I changed my mind when I realized that he is the only one running who can handle the press and Obama. I think Obama will win if Romney is the GOP candidate. I will NEVER vote for him. The GOP powers that be need to be taught a lesson. Yes, yes I know..we need to get rid of Obama....well Romney would be NO different than Obama.
odd.
I wonder if Obama only wins 2 counties? lol.
I wonder how many Dems crossed over to vote Romney?
Not enough.
Granted, Romney will be an obama-lite, but, I’m not convinced that Mittens is a marxist - like zero. Nor, has he spent his life with radicals - like the current occupier has.
There is a difference in their love for this country. One loves it - the other doesn’t. It isn’t hard to choose who is who in this scenario.
Mississippi - still too close to call? Wonder if Drudge wants mustard on his crow?

Mississippi has just been called for Santorum by Brett Baer.
If Newt would drop out and go back to Freddie Mac their are plenty of states left. And deligates are generally not bound.
Hey cats... they all have negatives. Of course I will support ANYONE who runs against this current debacle. I really can’t get excited about any of our top three. I wish I could. Mitt is mediocre at best. Little Ricky doesn’t excited me. Gingrich is interesting, but has a TON of baggage. I am just saying that Sanorum has no more right to stay in the race than Gingrich.
' The only use I have for squirrels is pot pie.
Correct but Rick is actually beating Newt why would he drop out? Newt is a man of big idea’s but he is letting his ego cloud the goal. Unless he is pocketing the casino cash, why on earh would he stay? I am not calling him a thief, but what is his motive? He has won 2 states. He polls around 14% in most of the other states. Right now he needs to make a choice for party over ego...or we will watch another republican moderate progressive lose in November.
Yes, they all have negatives. We aren’t voting for Jesus - the only One who was and s perfect and sinless. Santorum has a delegate lead over Newt, and Newt is splitting the conservative vote by staying in. That’s evident. I doubt that those who vote for Santorum, would vote for Newt if Rick wasn’t in the race. Newt’s baggage is a lot heavier than Ricks. God knows Mittens has a lot of it too - he is a 100% RINO. I pray for this country - we don’t need obama-lite in the WH to ruin things for the next election cycle.
It was very odd. Perhaps I stumbled in on the local Thomas Sowell Club.
lol.
Both of them?
