These are moderate states. If he can't even win in these states, I wonder where (aside from Michigan) can you win to get the nomination. You have many contests left in Southern States and I bet Newt Gingrich does well in these states. This will probably go until June.

(3,122 posts)plus, speaking of moderates......moderate voters have been moving away from Romney recently!
Did you notice the map of states won? Santorum has won 3 states in the middle of the country one on top of another. Minnesota, Iowa & Missouri....I wonder if he will win Arkansas too? I don't know, I just thought it was interesting that won those states in a north - south line.....
I agree, I think Newt will win the south too......

(29,676 posts)It's basically an overproduced straw poll tonight. The Republicans will be deciding who gets the delegates on March 17th from Missouri in a very small caucus.
Besides, Santorum is the only one who even showed up in Missouri. And yes, the news statewide made a big deal out of it.

I voted but I still feel like it was a waste of time.

I'm in Oklahoma so Arkansas is just east of here.

(25,183 posts)But I would be really surprised if he lost Michigan later this month. Maybe the Noot will back off of MI in order to give Santorum a chance to humiliate Mittens in one of his many "home" states.
that and carrying Mesa, AZ (the largest Mormon population outside of Utah) and the area around BYU Hawaii gets him about 10 electoral votes.

(48,217 posts)The Minnesota Republican Party got hijacked by megachurch fundamentalists and is the province of the stupid and the paranoid.
The sane people have all gone over to the DFL (Democratic-Farmer-Labor) or the Independence Party (the one that produced Jesse Ventura--even Jesse Ventura is saner than the MN Republicans).
