The GOP WAR is entering the deep south today as the candidates will compete in dueling primaries in Alabama and Mississippi. Today's results will either give new life to the campaigns of Santorum and Gingrich, or they could signal the beginning of the end, for Mitt Romney. If Romney loses today's primaries, it will signal a definitive rejection by the deep southern core of the GOP. Political pundits have long speculated that Romney and his Mormon religion would prove unpalatable to southern voters. Today's contest will test the theory, once and for all. In the competing camps, a mixed record of success and defeat has left the Gingrich and Santorum campaigns at a loss to justify their continued existence in the GOP primary. A chorus of critics are beginning to charge that Santorum and Gingrich are dealing unnecessary blows to the party's presumptive nominee (Romney) as the path to victory for both competitors has transitioned from unlikely, to impossible. Romney is far ahead in the race for delegates, with 458 delegates, compared to Santorum's 203 and Gingrich's 118. The GOP primary has proven to be disastrous for Romney, exposing numerous weaknesses in the candidates profile. A series of flip-flops has created the impression that Romney is a candidate without a core. Romney now strains to justify his new-found opposition of policies that he once proposed. While the White-house has occasionally weighed in suggesting that Romney is less-than principled, the most blistering attacks have come from fellow conservative republicans. They have suggested that he is inauthentic, dishonest, and willing to pander (if not lie) to attain victory. It remains to be seen if the former Massachusetts Governor, will be able to recover from the crippling attacks of his fellow republicans. If the conservative tag team, of Gingrich and Santorum should fail to stop Romney in today's primary the chorus of criticism will become a cacophonous clamor, demanding that both end the bruising primary, before Romney suffers even more damage.

GOP AT WAR IN SOUTH- GOP Primary Today!
