Not long ago, Newt led these polls, before that, Cain, before that, Perry.
The big picture is that Romney wasn’t getting a plurality in the southern states. Split vote and all...there were poll leaders and they weren’t named Mitt.
THat appears to have changed.
That truth hurts us all; it hurts Conservatives; it hurts America.
Perry has a double burden...he’s off running for President and not doing very well, therefore Texans could well take a dim view of that.
Which would help both Newt and Santorum among those who know better than to vote Romney, to poll as high as they do compared to their own Governor.
But that Romney has moved up this much in the southern tier is highly disturbing.

You can say that again. All along I thought Romney didn’t have a prayer here in the South. What I’m seeing is knocking me for a loop. I wonder if this country is beyond redemption.
The whole reason the Republcian establishment is promoting Romney as our candidate, is that he can attract liberal Democrats who will not support a Communist like Obama.
What you are seeing in the polls, and who are voting in these open primaries, are not just Republicans but Democrats.
