The bigger upset tonight is not Santorum beating Romney but Santorum beating Gingrich.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

OK, looks like they can call both of these in the following order Santorum Gingrich Romney. LOL at Romney.

you mean...there would be OTHER type of Massachusettians?

Ever heard of Scott Brown?

The bigger upset tonight is not Santorum beating Romney but Santorum beating Gingrich.

and, hopefully, maybe, at last, the end of gingrich campain

[J. J.]

Santorum opened up his lead in MS; he has it.  Gingrich is dropping back a bit.

[Alcon]

96% in, Santorum +4,000

Expect calls to come pretty soon.

I'm not sure I'd call Gingrich>Romney in AL quite yet.

Well, lesson learned by the Romney camp - should have spent the last few days in Mississippi, not Alabama. He might have actually been able to win Mississippi had he focused solely there, and then he'd make a stronger case for momentum.

no, sorry, but I goes immediatly wikiing

I wonder if Santorum's huge wins will have any effect on the Hawaii Caucus. Those polls haven't even opened yet, I think.

[ajb]

Yazoo County now 100% in.
Romney 702
Santorum 682
Gingrich 680

That urban vote really came in for Romney.

You've got a basic demographic problem in these states. Just "focusing" on Mississippi isn't going to get you much further than the 30% mark. The only way Romney could have won anything tonight would have been if there had been a nearly perfect split between Santorum and Gingrich. (A possibility, but not much room for error.)

Romney 702
Santorum 682
Gingrich 680

That urban vote really came in for Romney.

The elevators in the Yazoo City high-rises were broken, and Romney's supporters were already tipsy on chardonnay, so they couldn't make it down in time to vote.

[Alcon]

In the first big Mobile, AL dump, Romney and Santorum are running about neck-and-neck.

Some networks still not calling Mississippi because it's so close.

Third place in Alabama is not totally ready to be called either, although it's pretty obvious Romney will be 3rd in both states.

[J. J.]

Romney should come out third in MS, though by less than 4000 votes.

[Thomas D]

If you thought Newt's speech was long last week...

[Torie]

I wonder how much of an anti LDS issue there was, unspoken, among all those more upscale, but God fearing folks, down there?  The demographic collapse among upscale votes for Mittens is pretty surprising.

[J. J.]

The bigger upset tonight is not Santorum beating Romney but Santorum beating Gingrich.

I had Gingrich winning both, so yes.  Santorum is the ABR candidate.

At this point, Gingrich should drop out.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Done deal.

[HST1948]

CNN projects Mississippi for Santorum

[yourelection]

A double win for Santorum.

[Franzl]

If you thought Newt's speech was long last week...

Is he doing his normal comedy routine? (7 Lincoln-Douglas debates...Yes, President Obama can use his teleprompter!!!!)

[J. J.]

Not done yes AS and HI are still out.

Any idea on the delegate count?

[Likely Voter]

While a bad night for Romney, his third place showing in MS was still his best showing in the south so far with 30%.

And while Romney missed an opportunty to show himself as a strong front runner, he is still on his path to win on delegates. Results tonight still fit in the recent Nate Silver "baseline" scenario where Romney ends with majority of delegates.

[Lief 🗽]

A terrific night! Should have stuck by my Santorum guns though, could have won 4 points.

[Alcon]

Romney could take 2nd in either state still...in theory.
