Last lines from my column this morning:
Santorum is scrambling to take advantage of any openings he can find. Local endorsements, like the one that came out Monday (in a private capacity, not as a university stance) from Mark Foley, respected president of the Baptist-affiliated University of Mobile, might help Santorum make up for the lack of other advantages. (Disclosure: I have a “writer-in-residence” affiliation with the university.)
In short, it’s anybody’s guess how it could turn out, with the smart money being on narrow wins for either Romney or Gingrich, but with Santorum needing only a last burst of speed to pass them.

Indeed you did.
And Newt just said he won't drop out. I declined to call for Newt to drop out before, but now that Rick defeated him in his turf and Newt's southern strategy failed, I see no rationale for him to remain in the race. It's time for Newt to bow out gracefully and let the conservatives unite.

Too bad, SEIU endorsed Obama, not Santorum.

Another night and "Rocky" Santorum is still standing, winning tonight's rounds. "Mr. Inevitable" has a fight on his hands.

...and the math on his side! Righteous Ricky is down 20 points in CA (172 delgates) and will lose in AZ (53), DC (16), CT (27) NJ (52), and NY (101), plus UT (40), and is even behind in TX (155)...for starters
for Righteous Ricky to win the nomination, he will have to win 3/4 better of the remaining delegates

I told you to get off the coast of Alabama and into the heart of the state. Santorum carried women AND independents. I'm not sure how many times I have to say that Romney cannot carry the south - oh, and you can throw the math out on Romney - it's about perception at this point, and the perception down here is Romney is NOT CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH. Now let's talk some more about his Romneycare, and his talk of raising the minimum wage. He's got problems. When he goes conservative, which he will, there's a very real opening to again accuse him of flip-flopping...I think he's just shocked that after being annointed by the GOOP (typo but I'll leave it for descriptive purposes) establishment, meant he still had to fight for the nomination. Go Santorum!

Santorum received more votes in both Alabama and Mississippi. I was incorrect as I thought Gingrich would come out on top but he did not do so. Forrest Gump's prophecy has now been fulfilled [espencially when it comes to Southerners]. If Santorum is what the voters want, they have spoken. I still think that Santorum as a Republican nominee will be easily defeated by Obama, but maybe I'll be wrong on that also. I just think he's a one trick pony with no practicle administrative experience. He would obviously be an improvement over Obama but maybe the second coming of Jimmy Carter. I'll vote for him if he becomes the nominee, but if it's between Romney and Santorum, I think the country would be better served by the former due to his business-professional experience!!!!
