Santorum is collapsing so fast even some of his dedicated supporters no longer see him as a good bet.
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.

Bottom line... If we don’t want Mitt Romney to secure the GOP nomination, we need to root for Santorum to win Ohio. Period. Gingrich will not be able to remain viable enough by only winning a handful of southern states. We need to be pulling for the strongest anti-Romney candidate in EVERY state, no matter who it may be.
Actually I'd modify that to every Congressional District or county, depending on how that state party counts it's votes.
What we cannot have is Romney walking into Tampa with 1,144 committed delegates.
Still, he could walk in with 844 committed delegates and the at-large delegates would still giv3e it to him on the first ballot.
Much better scenario is if all 4 walk into Tampa with less than 800 delegates and only a couple above 500.
Otherwise Romney is the nominee.
Might I just remind you that Ohio has 66 proportional delegates, Georgia has 76 proportional delegates. Newt will win GA with a big enough margin to win MOST of the delegates. Ohio will be split, with Rick losing out on many that he could have gotten.
In other words, GEORGIA IS THE PRIZE ON TUESDAY, NOT OHIO! I am tired of the MSM ignoring us (GA) just because it is Newt and not Mitt that’s winning here. Or is it because we are a Southern state not an old “Rust Belt” Northern state.
Sorry, my Southern pride is being tweaked a bit! :))))))
