Romney will win 1/3 of the delegates in MS at least and possibly a similar number in AL. An MS win would have been huge and great, but the Jackson suburbs didn't turn out. Apparently, this was a school vacation week in most of MS so turnout was in general low and really hurt Romney. Had older voter patterns held closer to tonight, Romney would have won by a couple of points.
Hawaii and American Samoa should be very friendly for Romney, so he will come out of tonight with probably as many or more total delegates than Santorum and Gingrich.

American Somoa, heh? Is that anywhere near the Northern Marianas. The islanders are about the only ones who like Mitt anymore. Two thirds of the delegates went to true conservatives today. The game is to keep him from getting what he needs to win outright and have the momentum going into the convention. Santo will then win in a bitter, ugly, divisive contested convention. The battle between the right and the center will be set for November. My bet is that the center wins by a landslide. That's what I want to see, the complete "refudiation" of the social conservatives and tea heads.
The fact that were even talking about a Mormon Yankee winning a Mississippi or Alabama GOP Primary is already a victory. If Romney loses both, it's certainly not a good night for him, but it's not a bad one either. Especially since he will carry Hawai'i and Guam. Sure, Guam isn't a state, but why isn't the media talking about Hawai'i??? They never talk about states that are good for Romney from the get-go. Never. They always talk about states that are demographically and geographically stronger for Santorum, and they establish those as the most important contests, and blame Rmney for losing them. It's absurd

Yep I still remember Romney crushing everyone in AZ, racking up all the delegates and nobody hardly said a thing about it. Santorum wins Mississippi in a primary that had over 80% evangelical voters and he wins by a few thousand votes and it's a big deal.
No doubt they'll start saying PA is the big state to win in April.
lol even in Mississippi Romney still does well in the Democratic areas and loses the Republican ones.
