Fresh off his convincing Super Tuesday win in his home state of Georgia, presidential candidate Newt Gingrich might be about to score another comeback, with two new polls out Friday showing the former House speaker with slight leads in both Alabama and Mississippi.
A Rasmussen Reports poll of 750 likely Republican primary voters shows Gingrich ahead with 30 percent support, followed closely by Rick Santorum at 29 percent, and Mitt Romney with 28 percent.
Ron Paul got just 7 percent, while 6 percent were undecided.
In Mississippi, a poll by American Research Group Inc. finds Gingrich in the lead with 35 percent. Romney is in second place with 31 percent, while Santorum has 20 percent and Paul has 7 percent....

I’m for Santorum, but the most important priorty of all (aside from defeating Obama) is preventing Mittens Romney from being the nominee. I’m for Santorun, but if Gingrich can help by winning these primaries, than I wish him well.
Hope the Newtmentum continues.
When did it start?
I like the guy but was really disappointed how poorly he did in OK and TN.

Same page you are on, but reverse Santorum and Gingrich.
GO NEWT!!!!!!!!
ARG poll data collection was done after super Tuesday which explains the difference in numbers

Gingrich is up next on Hannity.
People are beginning to realize the true depth of Rick’s rhetoric in relation to the complexity of the Nation’s woes.
I give Santorum credit for identifying the moral longing that spans this great Country. But other than quenching the demand, I’m not sure he brings much else to the table as far as intrinsic Liberty is concerned.
Yes, once Newt wins a 3rd state out of 24, he will be unstoppable.
If not, Gingrich would only be getting a share not all of those delegate votes, which would not help his lagging numbers much at all.

Last couple days or so it looks like.
I live in central Alabama (in the same town as AlasBabylon! but we’ve never met) and work for a large industry near me.
I did a small poll the last couple of days at work and the results are:
12 definitely voting Newt
1 definitely voting Rick
1 wavering between Newt/Rick
0 voting Romney
0 voting Paul
and 2 of the definite Newts are Union guys at work...
That’s MY poll...lol
Anyway, the first two polls out of bama I wouldn’t put much stock into given who did the polling. The Rasmussen one carries a little more weight with me.
I’m pretty sure Newt will take Alabama. “IF” for some reason Romney won here, I would be extremely shocked...
Newt know how to play the delegate game, Santorum does not.
“GO NEWT!!!!!!!!”
He gave a very good address to a receptive crowd yesterday in Jackson. Had me cheering and clapping, and I am usually as demonstrative as an alligator. I liked the cross section too. 50/50 men and women, even spectrum of ages from teens to seventies, and I would guess by attire a broad range of income levels, from quite modest to moderately wealthy. While the majority were white, there was somewhere between 5 and 10% ethnic minorities, including some Choctaws, Indians and perhaps some Latins. It was a good group.
I also saw some Santorum supporters out today, looked like a couple of big families, and the kind of people you would want to have as friends and neighbors.
Doubtless there are active Romney supporters out there too, but they seem to be keeping to their whitened sepulchers, at least during the day.
Yes, once Newt wins a 3rd state out of 24, he will be unstoppable.

These people claim otherwise: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/03/07/romney-builds-delegate-lead-with-super-tuesday-wins/
If either Romney or Santorum get the nomination, Obama wins that very moment.
This short collection isn’t even put together by the Obama machine... they will be much worse and they will be 24/7.
