let me tell folks as a Deep South guy from Mississippi who claims South Carolina and Alabama as closest cultural kin.

these are the most bedrock socially conservative states in the Union amongst the white voters...rural blacks are Bible believers too but don’t vote that way

anyhow....if Romney can win there he can win anywhere

he will win NH

if he wins SC and FL, it’s over

the moderate beats a fractured quasi conservative field yet again

I am shocked Romney is in the lead

Romney gained some on his own and Santorum’s leap ate up Newt’s lead bigtime

one of those two should go

unlike many here I don’t see a lot of difference ideologically..and neither do ratings groups...giving Newt slight edge

but Santorum has less baggage

but Newt is unquestionably more able in debates and ferocity and determination....folks with his mind and will do not come along often

Santorum may be a hair more socially conservative

but if both stay in past Florida it will hurt us unless they can bind delegates...not sure they can do that?

hence...I can live with either but they cannot drag this on long enough for Mitt to continue to coalesce and I pray they do not let their egos kill our chance for a more conservative candidate
