If this continues for the next 48 hours, it would constitute a 20+ point collapse for Santorum and a strong surge for Newt in the South.

Contra Michigan, early voting may save Santorum in TN. Basically a 3 way tie among election day voters, but he's up with early ones.
One thing that is clear this election, MOMENTUM is everything. Which ever direction it is headed right before a primary, that is the way it usually turns out.
Your post made my day! Thank you!
LOVE IT!
Regrettably, red, today Rasmussen has it Rick 34 R 30 NEWT 18.
I’m hoping that the PPP tweet- has the latest #’s.
This was so predictable. Santorum is going to collapse, and be washed away by a Gingrich tidal wave in the South on Super Tuesday. He looks to be in big trouble in Ohio too.
All take note. It's Rasmussen vs. PPP.
At least one of them will be a poor predictor of what will happen on Tuesday in TN.
A swing to Gingrich...and regrettably Romney...is underway. It's happening very, very quickly.
I would not be surprised to see Santorum finish 3rd or 4th in TN.
“One thing that is clear this election, MOMENTUM is everything”
Exactly right and hopefully Newt has it timed correctly. Newt has the NEWMENTUM. Rick has a boulder tied around his waist and is dropping fast. GO NEWT GO!
From your mouth to God’s ears!:)
Let’s rev it up in the south! GO NEWT! btw..love the “Die Hard” logo!
I would not be surprised to see Santorum finish 3rd or 4th in TN.
That is typical Newt placement. He has finished last in so many states that he is comfortable there. Newt will win Georgia and only Georgia on Tuesday. Of course that will be enough for him to stay in....roll eyes.
They don’t? Why sir, why on earth would that be the case? ;)
Details: Newt still ahead of Santorum in total vote count and total committed delegate count.
YEP, sure is.
You’re a purchasing agent and bean counter type, right? Shouldn’t such things matter to you?
If this holds up, rather than being another PPP attempt to move the voters, congratulations are in order for nominee Romney and President Obama. Romney would likely get 300+ of the 466 delegates up on Tuesday. This would put Romney at 40% of the needed delegates with 35% of them assigned. Since the polls show a large block of “Even the Devil is better than Obama voters,” the Romney-Paul combine would be in the driver’s seat.
Or, to put it more simply, Santorum is down; Romney is up; Newt is nearly unchanged.
I’m hoping the story about Romney’s USA Today op-ed from 2009 urging Obama to incorporate an individual mandate in his health care reform plan will gain some traction on talk radio and alternative media outlets tomorrow. If it does, that may reverse the momentum Romney currently seems to have going into Super Tuesday. After all, Romney has been claiming repeatedly throughout the debates that he’s against an individual mandate on a federal level, yet his 2009 op-ed reveals his total hypocrisy on this issue.
If you have a link we could send it to MSM and talk show hosts still today, just in case they haven’t seen it.

I wouldn’t get too overjoyed about Santorum being in trouble in Ohio because if he doesn’t win, then Romney will win that very key state and thus be in a very strong position to wrap up the GOP nomination regardless of how well Gingrich performs in the southern states.
Let’s be careful not to overlook the forest for the trees here.
