Poll: Santorum Comes from Behind in Alabama Three-Way

Poll: Santorum Comes from Behind in Alabama Three-Way

With Alabama’s March 13 primary looking more and more important, Rick Santorum leads the rest of the Republican field in a poll conducted by Alabama State University. Santorum leads with 28 percent of likely GOP primary voters, while Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney trail with 18.9 percent and 18.3 percent, respectively. Texas Congressman Ron Paul was not included in the poll except for a choice for “other.”

Almost a month ago, another poll showed the three candidates were neck-and-neck in a three-way matchup.

Meanwhile, Rep. Robert Aderholt announced Friday that he would endorse Santorum for the nomination.

Is this going to be the future of politics - both sides telling potty jokes and one side not even knowing it?

I wonder how many Dems will crossover to vote for the lesser evil or the easiest for Obama to beat. My husband and I have been wondering what we'll do. Our democratic congresswoman appears to be safe.

BTW, I knew Aderholt many years ago, and he was a complete tool even back then, and certainly not the sharpest knife in the drawer, in a Dan Quayle sort of way.
