Rick Santorum Wins Mississippi

The South has gone for Rick Santorum with wins Tuesday night in Alabama and Mississippi and that makes it a bad night for Gingrich and Romney.

The dual victories are a major boost to the former Pennsylvania senator’s campaign, at a time when the primary calendar favors him. He’s spending tonight in Louisiana, another deeply conservative state which holds a March 24 primary…

Since both states divvy up their delegates proportionally, neither of the three leading candidates is likely to emerge with much of a delegate advantage.But the twin losses could prove to be a significant blow to Newt Gingrich’s campaign, which had been pursuing a “Southern Strategy.”
