A favorite son often is not.
Gingrich might lose Georgia for several reasons. He has not resided there for many years.
Evangelicals have warmed up to Santorum, as we have seen in Michigan. They do not traditionally vote for Catholics.
Tennessee is really three states: Eastern, Central, and Western. They are all very different populations.
Western is poor, rural, and religious. They will go for Santorum.
Central is citified and educated. They will go for Romney.
Eastern is Tea Party. They will go for Newt.
I see a 3-way tie in Tennessee
I don't know why you say that, Evangelicals are all Santorum had in Pennsylvania, it was the Catholics and women who kicked him out.
In 2006 Santorum got 42% of white Catholics, 39% of females, and 71% of white Evangelicals.
Evangelicals will warm to Newt once he opens his mouth.
He is fabulous on the stump, he’s just been denied any and all financial backing to get to the stump. :)
I understand Tennessee is odd and has been stereotyped that they don’t read possibly, but if accomplishment actually means a damn thing to them, they will wake up once they get to hear Newt.
Thank you for the tri-state illustration. Newt relates to all three in real time. But for his book sales and appearances many Tennesseans likely make more than Newt.
His millions he is accused of earning went for his think tanks, while he took home $30,000. Never mind the Tiffany’s
crap. Anybody can get a credit ine there. What he actually spent has been unknown from the get-go, but for the smoke blown about it—guilt by implication. You know what I mean?
