I can’t believe how FReepers don’t seem to be AT ALL concerned about the giant elephant in the room! Folks, Rasmussen released a poll of likely voters today showing ROMNEY with an EIGHT point lead in MISSISSIPPI, for Christ’s sake! Yet everyone seems to be jumping for joy over how well Gingrich and Santorum are doing in the less reputable ARG poll, all the while ignoring the fact that Romney is only a mere TWO points out of first place in that very same poll! This greatly concerns me because Romney should have NO BUSINESS being this competitive in the deep southern states. This pains me to say it, but if Romney wins any of these states next Tuesday, then it’s game, set, match... He will be the inevitable Republican nominee.
Gingrich and Santorum need to stop tearing each other down.

Everytime Santorum opens his mouth about religion, birth control, JFK, and the rest of his rantings he puts more votes in Romneys box. Someone better shut him up and the best way to do that is not vote for him. Gingrich will take care of Romney.
I want to see Romney in last place, not second, and definitely not first.
If a Yankee from Massachusetts is competitive in the Deep South, something is wrong. My guess is the answer is that Romney has poured tons of money into bashing his opponents so voters think they're not conservatives, which has the effect of driving down their support rather than necessarily building up his own.
I support Santorum but as long as Romney loses in the South, having Gingrich win is fine with me. What worries me is that if we keep bashing each other as Gingrich and Santorum supporters, we're just doing Romney's work for him for free.
