WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mitt Romney collided with rivals Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich on Tuesday in primaries in Alabama and Mississippi, hotly contested Southern crossroads in the struggle for the Republican presidential nomination.
Caucuses in Hawaii were also on the calendar in the race to pick an opponent to President Barack Obama this fall.
There were 107 Republican National Convention delegates at stake, 47 in Alabama, 37 in Mississippi, 17 in Hawaii and six more in caucuses in American Samoa.
Each of the three leading contenders faced a different challenge in Alabama and Mississippi, where heavy television advertising was evidence of the states' unaccustomed significance deep in the nominating campaign.

TURNING POINT
The liberal homo loving big government puke yankee ain’t this feller’s favorite. Not by a long shot. Heck, I like US Grant better than this slime ball. If he is the RINO candidate, I don’t vote for the republican prez nominee this year. No way, no how. I don’t vote for slime. I won’t vote for a slime dimocrat and I won’t vote for a slime liberal pig like Rummnie.
Well, sadly, if CNN’s exit polling holds up, it doesn’t look good for Newt. I just don’t understand what people are thinking.
Whatever they are thinking, if the exit polls in question hold, it is two-man race and its time for conservatives to rally around Santorum.

But,but, he said he had cheesey grits for breakfast. :)
“I just don’t understand what people are thinking.”
Me either. There’s no difference (ideologically) between Romney & Obama. None. *sigh*
I’m losing hope fast.
