Newt was closing fast in Tenn in the last couple of days. Check the exit polls.

Had it not been for all the Early voting I am convinced Newt would have won Tennessee.

He is doing what he need to do. Pounding the streets in MS and AL with his message of smaller government and his energy policy.

Lord give him Strength and Courage to complete his journey.

How come Mississippi doesn’t care too much for Reverend Rick?

Newt should do very well in Mississippi..they were hit by Hurricane Katrina and Santorum voted to fund the bridge to nowhere rather than divert funds to help out the Katrina victims. I hope the folks in Miss. know this!
Santorum voted for the 2005 highway bill that included thousands and thousands of wasteful earmarks, including the Bridge to Nowhere. In fact, according to Club for Growth, “in a separate vote, Santorum had the audacity to vote to continue funding the Bridge to Nowhere rather than send the money to rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.”
