Mr. Gingrich is poised to gain a substantial share of the state’s 76 delegates to the Republican convention.
“In the morning, we are going on to Alabama,” Mr. Gingrich told an enthusiastic crowd here on Tuesday night, some waving “Newt-a-Mania” signs. “We’re going on to Mississippi. We’re going on to Kansas. And that’s just this week.”
Alabama and Mississippi, which hold the next primaries on the calendar next Tuesday, both figure into Mr. Gingrich’s grand strategy for reanimating his candidacy by carrying Super Tuesday momentum into other victories in the South. So does Kansas, which holds its caucuses on Saturday.

Mitt has not yet broken the mark of 40% votes in the primaries, meaning still 60% of Republicans are not ready to vote for him. The global turnout is down, so if he is the nominee, he and his GOP elite will miserably fail next November.
I forsee the debacle coming.
Romney’s opponents may have no real chance to win the delegate fight—but they could kick the contest to Tampa, where all delegates are released after the first ballot.

Oh my dear, you just made my day brighter. Have stayed off this thing all morning. First thread and you have this great read. 88% BOUND, wow. Thank you.
annie:) Newt has 105 SECURED delegates to Santorum’s 78 and Santorum only has 2% more of the popular vote. Newt has 23 and RS has 25..so why oh why should Newt drop out?
Interesting: Talked with daughter, she was sick and could not vote. She told me her son was NOT ALLOWED to vote.
He showed up at the poll, woman said Democrats over there, he said Mamm, I'm a Republican. Showed his Dr. Lic., (he had moved since last election), she said, you can't vote. His name was in the rolls. Boy am I mad.
Bet if he were some minority democrat, they would have let him vote, 3 or 4 times.
I didn't know that Ok, had a Democratic Primary yesterday. Well, Randell Terry beat Obama. hahahahahhaha
I also see that Joe The Plumber won the GOP seat in Ohio, (I think it was Ohio). good news just keeps coming in.
“Romney’s opponents may have no real chance to win the delegate fight—but they could kick the contest to Tampa, where all delegates are released after the first ballot.”
And Paul’s people are getting as many of them as possible selected as delegates to the county conventions and state conventions and national convention to vote Paul on the second ballot and Paul is the nominee.
For this reason, don’t want to see a contested election at the national convention.
