Now that Rick Santorum has scored victories in this week's Republican primary contests in Mississippi and Alabama --this after his earlier win in Tennessee and Newt Gingrich's victory in South Carolina -- it's time to confront three questions:

I see the 'Bible Belt' as exactly that. The South is an area very heavy in Evengelical Christianity. These individuals view Mormons are not being a Christian religion. This immediately outs Romney from their vote. And they instead are more supportive of the Santorum view. For example, the south doesn't support science. When asked about evolution 60% of Alabamians and 66% of Mississippians say they don't believe this to be true. That's right up Santorum's alley.
 
The question you should be asking is;

Can Obama win without the South?
Last time he needed VA, NC, and FL. This time he might keep VA, but he will lose NC and FL, and probably CO, NM, and NV, possibly Ohio and WI, and that 1 electoral vote from NE. It's looking good for the Republicans.

i dunno... i think you guys already got the "female voter" organized, id suggest as you all move west you gonna prolly organize the "latino voter " too, already lost the common man vote... like 30,000 people in the whole state voted at all for republicans in the primary in my state... no one is excited about none of you... irrelevant elephant... what a joke! half those votes were from folks like me foisting sploogetorum upon you.... lol... (man... i wish we could compromise like we used too... i dont want drone strikes.... i hate the fed artificially inflating or devaluing our currency...most of the stuff my detractors hate too) cant we get along, long enuff to make these evil men go away?
 
The biggest problem for Dems, is they lost electoral votes in MI, MA, NY, NJ, OH, IL, & IO, for a loss of 9. the only southern state to lose an electoral vote was LA.
SC, GA, FL, and TX all gained electoral votes since the last election, for a total of 8. That's like automatically picking up an extra state.

I think the evil man is going away!
 
Nov is a long way away. It's anyone's guess at this point.

What we see is as the economy improves so does the President's support, pretty typical. Part of the 'economy' is people's view of the future. The public is polling positive a turn around from late 2008 when the polls were negative. That's why Obama is now over 50% approval. If the economy takes a dip or Europe's problem start trickling over then Obama will have a problem. In a positive environment voters are going to stick with the Devil they know over the Devil they don't know.

And certainly who the Devil they don't know hasn't been determined yet. IMO Santorum and Paul are clear losers for the Republicans. Newt might have a chance. Mitt, because he's the most centrist, probably has the best change. I suspect Mitt would lose the popular vote but win the electorial vote, the one that counts. Now for that wild card Palin who said she'd accept the nomination at the Convention if offered, hmmm.

I don't know which mixed metaphor suits that one best.

Should it be, "Whistling to the choir" or "Preaching in the dark"?
 
i dont know if palin can honestly shake the "in over her head" feeling that most americans have about her that she would need in order to be a viable candidate...
