6% after zero campaigning, in a region with near-zero conservatives? I’d hardly call that a “total collapse,” but keep drinking your koolaid.
Santorum did not campaign there either, but got 10% more. Not sure what "koolaid" you think I am drinking. There is something called momentum. Newt had it after S.C., and then lost it with two disastrous debate performances. Can he get it back? Perhaps only if Santorum slips up, because Newt seems to have lost a coherent message, and is running out of cash fast.
