That poll seems to be by the Alabama Education Association, which I don't think has the best polling skills out there.
Doubt this immensely...I think Romney would be lucky to break 25%...
...folks, let's remember this is friggin ALABAMA...He may do well in the rich suburban counties of Birmingham but he's toast everywhere else...
...same in Mississippi and the rich Jackson suburbs...
Amen. And he might not even take Jefferson County, which would be the only one in the core that I could imagine going for Romney if at all. Take a look at last night next door:
Romney got 25.9% of the vote. He didn't even win in some pretty progressive areas, but Newt is a homie and Santorum spent little to no money here and in exchange, missed the magic 20% by 0.4 points.
If Santorum drops $300,000 in AL, he could split enough off of Newt to possibly let Romney win, but Romney would have to independently raise his total to at least 30%, which I don't think is possible.
