Santorum Sweep's the South

      Santorum swept the south by winning Republican Presidential Primaries on Tuesday in Alabama and Mississippi. He had 35% of the votes in Alabama, way a head of Gingrich and Romney who both had 29% of the votes. In Mississippi, Santorum won 33% of the votes that Gingrich 31% and Romney 30% both had.
      Santorum says,“We did it again.” He added “The time is now for conservatives to pull together.” Mr.Gingrich says,“The elite media’s efforts to convince the nation that Mitt Romney is inevitable just collapsed.” He added,“If you’re the front-runner and you keep coming in third, you’re not much of a front-runner.” 
      NY Times says,"A week after Super Tuesday cemented the status of Mr. Romney and Mr. Santorum as the leading Republican candidates, the outcome of the Alabama and Mississippi primaries strengthened Mr. Santorum’s argument that he should emerge as the final competitor to Mr. Romney. But Mr. Gingrich, who finished a close second in both states, noted that he earned about as many delegates as his rivals. He pledged to take his candidacy to the Republican convention in August."
      I believe that if Santorum keeps getting more votes like that and even more he will be able to win this campaign, as for Romney and Gingrich they should step their game up a little bit more if they that interested in winning this campaign. Many voters are looking for a candidate that can win because of their idea's and good train of thought.
