Super Tuesday

I disagree.

I think the fact he's a moderate may have had more to do with it.

Was there some that said "No way I'm voting for a Mormon"? Probably, but that wasn't the prevailing factor here. No one here trusts Romney.

 

[GAVol]

when was the last brokered convention ?

Read earlier it was 1952 Democratic convention. Got close with Ford/Reagan in 1976.

I guess the evangelicals in Tennessee were serious about "not voting for a mormon".[/QUOTE]

Most of my familiy is still in TN. They said those exact words.

 

[volsforever27]

None of my family or friends have said anything remotely close to it. I think some of you are just quick to jump on "Evangelicals".

all of my family is in TN. They wouldn't know a Mormon from a Presbyterian. Tifwiw

I don't believe it was the prevailing determinate, but folks down here are clearly more comfortable with Santorum. Religion is part of these candidate's make up, just as much as voting record. I think it affects the southern vote more than exit polls reflect.

Nope....I are one. I do not think you know just how deep the beliefs are in the Bible belt.

 

[volsforever27]

It's all relative, I guess. Most everyone I talked to was leaning towards Newt.

Shelby County: Santorum 40% Romney 32% Gingrich 18% Paul 7%

My family would not vote for a Presby either.

 

[99gator]

looks like the republicans are going to nominate another liberal

 

[Weezy]

Good God I can't believe Santorum is gathering this many votes. The man should have dropped out about when Bachmann did. But he rebounded well. I loathe the man's positions, but I applaud his ability to stay consistent and not terrible throughout the debates. He ran a pretty good campaign. That being said, he's still a terrible candidate who caught fire being the anti-Romney at the right moment. He hit the NOS just right.

And lol at Mrs. Romney thinking women care about jobs, they should be caring about my dinner being ready when I get home.

I was just sitting here thinking how my Church of Christ Grandmother probably wouldn't vote for ME.

Who is jumping on evangelicals? Agree or disagree, I have way more respect for an evangelical that chooses to draw the line at religion, than a voter who only votes party lines.

I've just noticed over the years the term Evangelicals is used to point out what's wrong with a particular subject. My mistake if I singled you out, wasn't my intention.

Romney had a lot going against him in Tennessee from the beginning, liberal background, mormon, white collar. He punted the state, a smart move considering.

 

[OrangeYankee]

God I can't believe Tennessee went Santorum. Of course I decided to speak my mind this go around and voted Paul as he really best fits my views of the candidates that are left. But Santorum? Seriously? He's a pro life Ted Kennedy... really don't need 4 more years of fiscal craziness...

Santorum is moderate except when it comes to social issues.

Most people here would say Santorum is much more conservative than Romney.

 

[GAVol]

Probably because he's more conservative than Romney.

Still not a fan though.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

I really hope the GOP gets their act together. If Santorum wins the nomination, it will be a slaughter. If Romney wins, it will be a slightly less gory slaughter come November. And I am hoping for a good race, because I follow this stuff feverishly.

You voted for Newt?

 

[volsforever27]

Like him or hate him, every time Santorum is thought to be finished, he comes back.

I certainly like this election better than '08. And I voted for Romney in the primary then.

He has a small lead in Ohio, like 2 pct with just over half in. And that is after being outspent I heard by like 6 to 1. Got to give him credit for simple grass roots campaigning.

 

[FalcoVol]

This is the worst crop of republican candidates I can remember. It's a shame they can't capitalize from the momentum of the mid-term elections.
