Rick Santorum is the winner of the Mississippi Republican presidential primary, Fox News projects.
ORIGINAL STORY ...
Rick Santorum has won the Alabama Republican presidential primary, Fox News projects, and is holding onto a narrow lead in Mississippi where the race is still too close to call.
The victory in Alabama is a major boost for Santorum, a state in which he was

Newt wasn’t a failure tonight...no other candidate had the opposition from so many areas as Newt did and he still got ten candidates...same as the rest. That’s a win.
And you think you can speak for America in saying they don’t like Newt?.... That’s a sound bite from the
machinery operating out there and opposing Newt.... played over and over again in order to get people to carry that propaganda to the voters. Just like the media calls the election results early so voters will be discouraged enough not to vote.....10,000 voters stayed home in one election because the media called it early.
Further aside from Santorums history and politics I simply don’t like the man but not one person has asked if I “like” any candidate....but I’ve had many discussions on the qualifications of these candidates and there history. It isn’t about “liking” it’s about the best man for the job with our country in Peril. The only one suited for that is Newt Gingrich....period.
Most qualified often doesn’t win.
Who was more qualified, Obama or McCain?
Look, Obamas numbers are so low pretty much anyone could win against him.....But everyone knows in debates Newt would walk all over oBma....and all Newts laundry is already out there....they have yet to take down Santorum because he’s carrying the water for the establishment.
BTW Newt head to head with Obama, you’ve got it all wrong....people would pay big money to see that as the desire to see obam get taken down by Newt is almost salivating.
In a debate there’s no doubt Newt would trounce 0.
Unfortunately, debates don’t sway the independents.
We need them to beat Obums.
McCain handed the election to Obama plain and simple....he had all the ammo needed to have made mincemeat of him and outright refused to use it......smiling all the way thru the process because he would still have his seat in Congress when all was said and done...he had nothign whatsoever to loose......and frankly I’ll never forgive McCain for selling us out to Obama.
Just like with Santorum for sellign us out to Obmacare by voting for Spector...even after his friends and political partners said it would be disastorous.....when Santorum thinks he’s right, even when he’s dead wrong and shown as much...his ego will not bend....and that’s why you hear people be critical of his self-righteous attitude....it gets in the way of him discerning the facts and making the decisions good for this country......he blew it on Pa.
That's another propaganda talking point heard and pushed by the elites ......they are called independants for a reason......do you honestly think Santorum's going to reel them in with his strong stiff-knecked social stances? Santorum is a 'staunch' Catholic and then some...which means rules don't bend...and rules must be established. Independants aren't going to go fo that structure where there is no breathing room....which Santorum will tie them up in.
I disagree than McCain ever had a chance against Obama.
The GOP was gonna lose to the Dems no matter what on 2008.
But I agree that Santorum sold us all out to Specs and PA.
These candidates are all terrible, and we’re basically screwed if we all don’t unite against Obama.
That should be everyone’s goal on FR, crazy dream I know, but still dreamin’.
Your right. I am one of those people who don't believe in man made global warming like Newt and Milt. I need to wise up.
Where as Newt has substance so thick you couldn't cut it with a knife!
Oh Laz...you should know better than to push that stuff about global warming....slick Romney would have pulled a better one then what you just did.
So here...get “wise”..get educated ...”Newt ripping Gores facts on Global Warming before the Energy Sub Committee”

Newt openly will tell anyone who asks that he believes in Man Made Global Warming. Part two of this book hits shelves in 1213. That should be swell.
Certainly now Romney knows how repulsive he is to Conservatives, and that he has no shot in the General, because Conservatives will not vote for him, even if he is the nominee....
...I get it...they’ll take their toys home, pout in the corner, then be cheered up watching Obama win by their inaction...
...geez...and I thought denial was just a river in Egypt...
If anyone believes Rick Santorum’s victory would be possible without the prayers of Christians throughout the world, they are sorely mistaken. God's grace and mercy are the source of Rick Santorum’s success and they have only been given because enough people prayed and fasted.
Christians realize the atheistic forces, behind the scenes, who support Romney and Obama. And those forces are in every realm of our lives, even within the church and in the clergy.
It is God's grace and mercy that will alleviate some of the coming punishment of this nation and of the whole world. That punishment is coming, many believe this year, and it will be devastating.
We'll be in a much better position, with a 100% ProLife president - a man who acknowledges God publicly and personally and who practices his beliefs.
Pray for the United States
Pray for the Earth - Humanity will see itself submitted to scourge.
I agree with everything you’ve said here. This needs a brokered convention, which would be bad news for Romney and for Santorum as far as I can tell.
The longer this drags out, the less voters can be fooled by the Republican elite/talk radio establishment.
“Further aside from Santorums history and politics I simply dont like the man but not one person has asked if I like any candidate....but Ive had many discussions on the qualifications of these candidates and there history. It isnt about liking its about the best man for the job with our country in Peril. The only one suited for that is Newt Gingrich....period.”
That’s exactly how I feel, but I think it’s over for Newt. I wish it wasn’t. If that’s so, I would rather he get out and stop splitting the conservative vote against Romney. I don’t like Santorum... not a bit, but, as you said, “like” has nothing to do with it.
Santorum is running a great campiagn. He just knocked out Gingrich, now on to Romney. There is a momentum swing and Romney will not have this locked up by the convention and this is exactly what the GOP needs to fire up the Tea Party. Can’t wait for Tampa in August.
God help us!! If I didn't know Rick was smarter than that I'd never have supported him.
