| Alabama and Mississippi primary results |

The returns are still coming in, but at 10:35pm on primary night, Rick Santorum appears headed to victory in two key southern states, Alabama and Mississippi. Even though
front runner Mitt Romney has fallen to third place in both races, it is Newt Gingrich who stands to lose the most should the current results hold. After winning South Carolina and
Georgia - and nothing else - Gingrich's campaign faced must wins in the South tonight. It looks like he won't be getting them. And with Santorum leading, there will be added
pressure for Newt to close up shop on this year's bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

| Alabama primary election polls and predictions |

This one is very hard to call. All three of the top candidates for the Republican presidential nomination have a legitimate chance to win Alabama tomorrow. The majority of
polls testing this race have been conducted in the last several days, so identifying a trend is difficult. Take a look at these numbers and you can see just how close this race is.

How would you like to try to predict this primary? Those numbers are so close that it's anybody's guess, really. But I'm a sucker for predictions, so here we go - just don't
let too much ride on them.
- Newt Gingrich - 32%
- Rick Santorum - 31%
- Mitt Romney - 30%
- Ron Paul - 7%
As for the delegates to be awarded, don't expect any one of the top three to run away with a comfortable margin. Alabama's district level, hybrid "winner-take-all or most" format
should make for a very even distribution of the 47 of 50 delegates up for grabs in the state tomorrow.

| Alabama 2012 Preview |
|---|
Election Projection's 2012 edition of the "Tour of the 50 States" begins in Alabama.
Reapportionment and Redistricting: Alabama's congressional seat count remained unchanged at seven as a result of the 2010 census. This gulf coast state will have
nine electoral votes to add to the presidential race. The redistricting process here produced no obvious partisan advantage.
President: This state has been reliably Republican for a generation. Jimmy Carter, back in 1976, was the last Democrat to carry Alabama. In 2012, we
should see another deep red vote. Not much drama here - Solid GOP Hold.
Senate: There is no senate race in 2012. GOP Senator Jeff Sessions will be up for 4th term in 2014 and his 6-term GOP colleague Richard Shelby's current term
won't end until 2017.
Governor: Alabama's first-term governor, Republican Robert Bentley, will be up for re-election in 2014.
House: None of Alabama's seven House seats look to be competitive in 2012. That means the current breakdown of 6 Republicans and 1 Democrat should
carry over to next cycle.
For more details, check out Alabama's state page.
Next tour stop: Alaska
