In an effort to win over Southern voters, Mitt Romney will campaign with comedian Jeff Foxworthy in Alabama and Mississippi Monday.
Foxworthy, who is best known for his “you might be a redneck” jokes, will appear with Romney in Mobile, Ala. Later in the day, he will attend events in Biloxi and Richland, Miss.
Tuesday’s primaries in Mississippi and Alabama are a key test for the former Massachusetts governor, who is hoping to show he can win over conservative voters.
Polls show that Romney, former Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) are in a dead heat in Alabama, while Gingrich holds a slight lead in Mississippi. Romney has said he is out of his comfort zone campaigning for votes in the South. But he has nonetheless expressed confidence that he will do well there.
"I realize it's a bit of an away game, but I also think we're going to pick up some support in the states that remain this month," Romney told WAPI in Birmingham, Ala. last week.
Romney joked with a crowd in Mississippi on Thursday that he was "learning to say 'y'all' " and developing a taste for grits.
On Sunday, Alabama native and Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs mocked Romney over those remarks.
"I wouldn't normally give Republicans, particularly Mitt Romney advice, but as a Southerner I will tell him that stuff doesn't really go over well in the Deep South," said Gibbs on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday.
"I will tell him this, if someone says they love the SEC, it's not the investigative body that looks into off-shore Cayman bank accounts, in fact it's the world's greatest football conference, so I hope he'll sort of go with the flow if he's down there," Gibbs added.
Romney’s rival Gingrich, who has campaigned heavily in Southern states, predicted Sunday that he would top the GOP frontrunner to win both primaries.
"I think we'll win both. We are campaigning very aggressively in both states," Gingrich said during an appearance on Fox News. "As almost everywhere, you start a little behind because of Romney's money and the length of time he's advertising. And as you campaign, you catch up with him pretty rapidly, and I think we're probably polling ahead in both states right now."
Romney signs off on permanent assault weapons ban
"Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts," Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1..."These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."
Since when do people actually think that idiot child questions like this merit anybody else's time?
LOL
You might be a RINO if...
Post of the day!!
Since when do people want free govt aspirin for birth control?
Stupid move on jeffs’ and your part.
How's that going to play in Louisiana, where the unofficial state motto is "Some folks just need killin'"?
Would rather have Larry the Cable guy with me anyhow! Git R’ Done.....
Well at least he is not with Obama. I know Romney is crap but to have anyone in Hollywood support a Republican is rare. Do I wish he was with Santorum? You bet. But another actor not with Obama is good.

"Come on mitt cher, what do you need?"
I think Foxworthy is more of a klown than a force that you would want speaking on your behalf.
“Who’s next on Romney’s list, Junior Samples?”
Sorry to say Junior passed away in 1983.
Why are you posting Daily KOS material here?
Apart from the Constitutional calumny of that statement it also reveals an astounding ignorance of firearms and potential self-defense needs. Mutt is one dim bulb.
Epic fail.
I didn’t know Foxworthy ate cheesy grits!
