say if you look at the math, i ve got it. the rest of these guys fall in line. that s not exactlyly sounding le a winning strategy. the phrase act of god, it struck me as walking this fine line. they want to say it s over, but at the same time they know there is a sensitivity there not to push too hard. every time they have push back and look what santorum said. what won t they resort to to try to bully their way through the race? if the governor thinks he is now ordained by god to win, let s have it out. i feel very, very good that we are running a race and energizing people and we are the man versus the machine. we have the machine and they have the insiders and the big
and he got in the wing and he s not there idea. is he getting punished because of who he is barely beat something. i was going to say. two candidacies. anybody who was considered a tier one or tier two. santorum and gingrich extend the jonathan fighting metaphor. i think it s true. if you are a middle weight and you knockout a fly weight, you weigh 50 pounds more than that guy. mitt romney can t choose who ran in the race, but if you look in 08 and what happened in florida. john mccain beat mitt romney and people like us said the nomination fight is over. why did he say that? mitt romney spent a lot of money and he was a serious person. if we didn t think he could pull it out.
numbers. that brings us to louisiana at the end of the month on the 24th. this is not going to be a good place for mitt romney. should be a good place for santorum. large catholic population. romney has overperformed in the midwest. maybe he can do that here. i have my doubts whether that can happen. as you can see when you look at that month of march, there is one state that you have to feel okay about if you are mitt romney. that s illinois. if he can pull an upset in mississippi. others say alabama. the recent trends indicate that that s less likely. i want to show you one other thing. here s how the money has been spent so far. mitt romney spent a lot of money. $1.2 million. he s at $879,000 and louisiana and santorum barely spending any money. 25,000 and $8,000 in mississippi.
of god phrase. gingrich didn t seem pleased with pressure from the supporters to get out of the race. gingrich s campaign though did call alabama and mississippi both must win states and santorum has his own strategy. at this primary and the primary next door in mississippi, both of next week and we will once again for the ninth time reset this primary race. if we win mississippi, this will be a two-person race. if this is a two-person race, we will nominate a conservative as president of the united states. santorum s super pac is making that argument for him. saying in a super tuesday statement, based on his performance and his record, it is time for newt gingrich to exit the process. gingrich certainly fired back. we are staying in this race
program. romney has another test on tuesday when alabama and mississippi hold primaries. no other region that better represents today s republican party with the deep conservatism and evangelical voters. no other region where mitt romney struggled more. romney s super pac is pouring money into the states and acknowledging the challenges and setting the bar pretty low. everybody loses states. john mccain lost 19 states on the way to the nomination. no one every runs the stable on these things. i continue to shake my head at this idea. john mccain lost 19 states. is the mccain example really one the romney people want to talk about. what happened to john mccain in november? santorum took evens to the act
