A Possible Southern Upset?

CNN reported today that the most recent American Research Group survey shows Romney leading in Mississippi.  Romney leads Gingrich 34% - 32% followed by Rick Santorum at 22%. (Click to read CNN article).

The biggest story here is not necessarily Romney's surprising momentum in the south, but rather that Santorum is in 3rd place.  Mississippi has an extremely strong ultra conservative base and it appears they are choosing Romney.

Doesn't this discredit Santorum's argument that Mitt can't connect with true conservatives?

The race in Alabama is also quite telling.  Polls indicate that Gingrich is only leading Romney by 3 percentage points.  Santorum is in 3rd place.

Big story.  Big momentum.  It's about time.

Go Mitt!
