Mississippi Primary: ROMNEY 35%, Santorum 27%, Gingrich 27%, Paul 6% (ROMNEY UP BY 8?! WTH???)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | Friday, March 9, 2012 | Rasmussen

Posted on 03/09/2012 10:09:09 PM PST by DestroyLiberalism

Rasmussen Reports’ first Republican primary survey in Mississippi shows former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney leading his closest competitors by eight points.

A new statewide telephone survey of Likely GOP Primary Voters in the Magnolia State shows Romney with 35% of the vote, while former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich each draw support from 27%. Texas Congressman Ron Paul runs last with six percent (6%). One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

However, when the race is narrowed down to just the top two national front-runners, it’s Romney 46%, Santorum 44%.

Mississippi, along with Alabama, will hold its primary this coming Tuesday. Sixty percent (60%) of the state’s primary voters are certain of their vote, while 36% say they could still change their minds.

Regardless of preference, 72% of Mississippi primary voters expect Romney to be the eventual nominee. Only 14% feel Santorum will win the nomination, while six percent (6%) say the same of Gingrich.

This concerned me greatly. I thought: "How in the hell can Romney be leading in Mississippi? Has America gone crazy? But, I've had time to ponder and talk to other Pubbies. If this poll is true, I think I know the reason why:
I think that people just want this thing over so the GOP can concentrate on defeating Obama. It's apparent that Rick and Newt are going to BOTH stick in there, keep dividing the Conservative vote and giving RINO-Rom victory after victory. So, why prolong the inevitable. This happens every time. The Conservatives divide the vote and the lone Moderate gets the nomination. I refer you to John McCain 2008 and other past elections. 'nuff said.

These other candidates are fine men but Newt was hand crafted for this unique challenge.....
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
BULLSHIT!!! Mitt Romney is NOT a “fine” man. He is a low-life, scum bag who would cut his mother’s throat for a vote. He has caused my opinion of Mormons to plummet so low, it will never be the same. If he is the nominee and gets his butt handed to him in the GE by Obozo, that will be a bitter/sweet night for me.

I can’t find the comment but Newt said in an interview something like—It bothered me a bit, some people at FOX were downright gleeful, laughing because they thought my campaign was over. (after the Greek vacation and team members resigned and the Tiffany credit line story hit)

If you look back at the the timeline— Newt announced 5-11-11, he took 2 weeks off and was back to campaigning L.A. Ca, the evening of 6/12/11. It was the Republican Jewish Coalition summer bash.

Gingrich was on Hannity a few times shortly thereafter. Beck’s last day at FOX was June 30th. Can you imagine anyone at FOX who would laugh in Gingrichs’ face and be downright gleeful? Well, anybody but Beck.

Beck had nothing to lose, either. I would place money on the ‘some people’ Newt mentioned being ‘somebody’ and his name is Glenn Beck. I can’t think of another that would be THAT unprofessional and crude.

Beck tries to hide it but he is very jealous and thin-skinned. He is also bad at stealing ideas and throwing people under the bus. He swiped ideas from Mike Church, Church never said it but I sure will! (he also bumped Church out of his time slot) Mark Levin has Beck’s number.

I could list a several times that Beck has used and pitched people.(smile Santorum-tag you’re it) I have come to realize Beck is a lying, back-biting big baby. He reminds me of Baby Huey. It was sad for me to wake up because I was a huge Beck fan. It started before I was a Gingrich supporter.

Have you ever been to Mississippi? If you had, you wouldn’t believe a word of this. I’m not from here, but I’ve lived here of-and-on from 2001, and I’ll eat a pint of kimchee if Milt wins this state.

Yeah - what you said. I came here in '86 and it is now my home. More common sense and conservative values in a southern MS school teacher than in a NY Tea Partier and that's saying something. Me and mine voting Newt on Tuesday.

Don’t forget how far off the polls were in TN. I don’t think they know how to extrapolate Southerners.

I’ve always said that Santorum will endorse Romney at some point. Santorum reminds me so much of Huckabee during the last election. I think he is a spoiler.

Newt and his ground staff needs to work like its 3rd and long with the clock running out.

He needs to not only win AL and MS but Dominate like he did in SC.

If you eat a pint of kimchee, I’ll see to it that you are banned from this site. That stuff is simply EVIL.

If Mittens wins, it’s a sure bet he’s using the Obama nomination playbook.

Beck has brought much TRUTH to the light of day and he is FEARLESS
he does get a little to weepy, I know a lot of people hate that and the fact
that he is Mormon. Beck has a lot of flaws but HE brought us the Tea
Party he made people realize that they were not alone!!! Beck also brought Soros to the light of day and all of his many media tenicles. Beck
is about TRUTH and CHARACTER so with his many, many, flaws I stand
with him and support his new endeavors fully!!!! However I do not believe
Santorum is mature enough to be president these are very rough times
and WE need a pit bull!!!!!

I support Newt 100%, however I hear that his tenure as Speaker, he had
so many BOLD ideas there were many, many boxes of Newt’s ideas and
legislation that NEVER came to be!! There are many, many rumors that
his mind does not stay focused. I worry because I am seeing this in his
campaign, I worry because a TRULY GREAT leader surrounds himself
with really great people Newt is NOT doing this with his campaign. He
SHOULD be doing far better than he is and I for one am starting to bite
my nails and they are acrylic no easy feat!!!,
