clear that it was a good night for Rick Santorum, but where does this leave Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich? Our experts call
Cheri Jacobus: "A drop Gingrich could cause a total collapse of the candidacy of Romney"
"We did it again." This was said Senator Rick Santorum after his great victory in the Republican primary in Alabama. Then again he did in Mississippi, picking up the one or two punch.
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, a player of great influence on national policies, approved the governor Mitt Romney, and Romney, as he had a pretty decent performance, the night belonged to Santorum - today as momentum, money and media.
Watchfor the Santorum camp to increase the volume of calls from former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to abandon the race, so that the Conservatives are mobilizing around a single candidate, strengthening Santorum while Romney, when it is weak. Ironically, it may be Romney, who has to go to Triton, hat in hand, asking him to stay in the race - begging, even, and with what?
Although Gingrich has remained in the race hurt Romney (some say), it is somewhat ironic that, at this stage, the abandonment of the race and pushing their Santorum will cause the most damage to the Romney effort. Indeed, it may cause a total collapse of Romney's candidacy.
The inevitability of Romney as the Republican candidate for the Presidency has just taken a blow with his inability to prove he can win in the South. All it would have taken was a state, and it seemed for a time, Romney was shot in Alabama, with recent surveys suggest that quickly filled a gap of ten points on Santorum. It should take a bow for that, but probably will not.
Romney is still ahead in the number of delegates, with almost twice as Santorum, and win our last night in Hawaii and American Samoa. Unfortunately for him, the story does not reflect these numbers.

Matt Lewis: "As George HW Bush, Romney continues to struggle with" the vision "'
money of Mitt Romney and the organization seems to have struck a deep warning Yogi Berra, that "If people do not want to leave the ball park, nobody will stop them." The modern version seems be. "If people will not come out to vote for Romney, no money goes to them"
The participation rate remains low, and having lost Alabama and Mississippi on Tuesday night Rick Santorum (Santorum!), the problem of enthusiasm Romney is once again a problem. (Never mind the fact that Romney actually received more delegates Tuesday night, the night was another buzz kill for his campaign is already ailing.) The conclusion is that Mitt Romney has not closed the deal with the Conservatives : many voters are not buying what you sell.
It was clearly a bad night for Mitt. Some of this was beyond their control, of course - but some of them was his fault. After minimizing expectations, Romney's team began sending mixed signals they believed they could win at least one Southern state. It was a costly mistake.
Much of Romney's credibility comes from the idea that he would champion the most competent and organized, so public relations mistakes this type of bite. Moreover, Romney can not claim that he had lost what he called a "road game" when Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania - No Newt Gingrich in Georgia -. Won two states
Romney team continues to turn disappointing results on the grounds of "process" - they are winning more delegates. Technically, of course, this is true - but is it a message of inspiration? Are voters being seduced by mathematics ...?
Romney, like George HW Bush before him, continues to struggle with "the vision". This is a continuing problem, and must be corrected if we are to make inroads among voters skeptical.
While the big news was tripped south of Romney, is also interesting that Newt Gingrich has not met expectations. Throughout leading to Super Tuesday, we were told "wait until we get to the south," where Newt probably own. The idea that this race would become a turf war with geographical Gingrich has not only won his home state, but dominated the southern block, did not materialize.
A week ago, his team said they had to gain by continuing. But Gingrich did not sound as if from the race last night. If Newt Gingrich can not win Mississippi or Alabama, the only role has yet to play spoiler - or perhaps kingmaker
- Jim Antle: "No other candidate is able to change the basic arithmetic preferred to Romney
- Rick Santorum, still whisking, Mitt Romney among conservatives, especially those most concerned about social issues. The idea that the Conservatives gather around Romney has not been supported by the facts.
