Florida primary, Gingrich learned that there are no third acts in American lives. He tried to be the Southern candidate, but finished a close second behind Rick Santorum in Mississippi and Alabama. Then Newt tried to repeat in Louisiana his one-state-at-a-time strategy that had worked so well in Georgia. Not only did Newt win just 16 percent of the vote, but his wipeout was consistent across all demographic and ideological categories, according to the Louisiana exit polls. What this means is that (unlike Romney with upper-income Republicans and Santorum with evangelicals) there is no identifiable Gingrich constituency in the GOP.
With more than 130 delegates (although all GOP delegate calculations are murky), Gingrich would, in theory, have a role at a contested Republican Convention. Morley Winograd, an architect of the Democratic Party’s arcane delegate rules and a veteran of the contested Kennedy vs. Carter 1980 Convention, suggested in an insightful column in Politico that Santorum and Gingrich should join forces in a last-ditch stop-Romney coalition. With almost all future GOP primaries winner-take-all by congressional district, Winograd theorized that the anti-Mitt candidates could divvy up the districts based on their comparative strength against Romney. There’s only one problem: It is hard to identify a spot on the remaining primary map where Gingrich would be a stronger challenger than Santorum.
So it ends for Gingrich without even a whimper. He will go through the motions of campaigning while visiting zoos (I suspect the Milwaukee County Zoo will merit a pre-primary visit) and dining in plush hotel restaurants with Callista. When the primaries are finally over, Gingrich may even be given a brief prime-time slot at the Tampa Convention if he effusively endorses the nominee and pledges not to gush about beach volleyball as he did at the 1996 GOP Convention.
But the dream that has defined Newt Gingrich’s life for more than a half century ended Saturday without fanfare in the Louisiana bayous. It has been a long journey from Verdun to being done.

No. 1 seed. The Wildcats, leaders of the South region, will open in Louisville, about 75 miles west of campus, on Thursday against the winner of a preliminary game between Mississippi Valley State (21-12) and Western Kentucky (15-18). Those teams will play in Dayton, Ohio on Tuesday.
Kentucky is beatable, as evidenced by Sunday’s 71-64 loss to Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament championship game. But before that, the Wildcats had won 24 in row with a handful of future NBA first-round picks, including the country’s best defensive player in freshman Anthony Davis, who might also be the nation’s best player overall.
At the tournament’s outset, the next question is: Which other teams hav...

Super Tuesday prospects outside Georgia, where he launched his political career nearly three decades ago. Instead, he was pointing to primaries next week in Alabama and Mississippi, and he told an audience, “With your help, by the end of next week we could really be in a totally new race.”
The polls show the president’s chances for re-election have improved in recent months, as the economy has strengthened, unemployment has slowly declined and Republicans have ripped into one another in the most tumultuous nominating campaign the party has endured since 1976.
The former Massachusetts governor campaigned into Super Tuesday on a winning streak. He captured the Washington state caucuses last Saturday, days after winning a little-contested primary in Arizona and a hard-fought one in Michigan. He won the Maine caucuses earlier in February.
The victories helped settle his campaign, which was staggered when Santorum won a pair of caucuses and a non-binding Missouri primary on Feb. 7.
Santorum and Gingrich have vied for months to emerge as the sole conservative alternative to Romney, and they battered him as a moderate who would lead the party to defeat in November.
But Romney, backed by a heavily financed super PAC, countered Gingrich’s victory in the South Carolina primary with a comeback win in Florida. Last week, it was Santorum’s turn to fall, as Romney eked out a win in Michigan after trailing by double digits in some polls 10 days before the primary.
(Page 4 of 4)
Santorum’s recent rise has translated into campaign receipts of $9 million in February, his aides announced last week.
Even so, Romney and Restore our Future, the super PAC supporting him, outspent the other candidates and their supporters on television in the key Super Tuesday states.
In Ohio, Romney’s campaign purchased about $1.5 million for television advertisements, and Restore Our Future spent $2.3 million. Santorum and Red, White and Blue, a super PAC that supports him, countered with about $1 million combined, according to information on file with the Federal Election Commission, a disadvantage of nearly four to one.
In Tennessee, where Romney did not purchase television time, Restore Our Future spent more than $1 million to help him. Santorum paid for a little over $225,000, and Winning our Future, a super PAC that backs Gingrich, nearly $470,000.
In Georgia, where Gingrich acknowledged he must win, the pro-Romney super PAC spent about $1.5 million in hopes of holding the former...

Mike works a lot of SEC games too so he doesn't get to see good basketball on a regular basis. His claim to fame, is tossing John Calipari from the Mississippi Valley State game a couple of years ago. He is a T happy guy. He last worked the Kansas State/Texas game on Saturday. We are 1-1 this year (loss was @ Marquette) and we were 0-1 last year (Kentucky game). Mike Stuart spends an abnormal amount of time discussing his calls with the coaches, a sign of weakness.
Les Jones - I am actually excited to see Les working the game. I believe that at some point, before the game, Charlie Strong will kick his ass and replace him as referee. No one will notice except the football recruits that are coming to the game. Les worked the Western KY game this year and the Pitt game last year, both wins. I wonder if Charlie has an alibi for those games last year. With Burr and Mike Stuart working with him, he will probably look like a hero tonight. I will be surprised if he even gets to blow his whistle.
Respectful man point in the direction of Eric Wood (AKA Pregame Serious Gorgui) for the forward.
Peyton Siva talks Syracuse and calls Russ Smith the best 6th man in the country.
AGAIN, don't be that guy (or girl) tonight:
Kenny Klein said last night that Rick Pitino was not planning on wearing the white suit this evening...which probably means nothing.
Louisville is 23-1 all-time when ranked, playing at home and trying to complete a 7-game winning streak.
Anthony Davis might be the best player in the country right now, but he's still no Pervis.
As a result of his disappointing professional career, the greatness of Ellison as a college player sometimes is lost – especially his accomplishments as a freshman, ...

She was named after her grandmother and not too much more. She went on ancestry.com with her mother and started her hunt in Monroe County, Mississippi. In 1910, she was ten years old searching for B.W. Brassfield, her great-great grandfather. She went to the library to find archives of old obituaries, but found a dead end. The historian in Mississippi gave her more info. The spelling of the name changed from Brassfield to Brasfield and the historian found her history back to the 1700s.
She then went to North Carolina to find George Brasfield, her four-times great-grandfather, before Raleigh was even the capital. George Brasfield owned a bar, so they checked the tax records and found he owned 1,615 acres and had 10 slav...

Visitors will see Louis Armstrong's trumpet, but also the original pine coffin that contained the body of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old boy bestially murdered in 1955 in Mississippi because he was reported to have wolf-whistled at a white woman. The coffin was deliberately left open at Till's funeral in Chicago by his mother, so the world could see the atrocities visited upon her son. The public outrage that followed gave powerful fresh impetus to the civil rights movement.
Today no one would dispute that the story of black America, for better and worse, is part of the story of all America. Even so, some see the new museum as part of a worrying trend, the subtle atomisation of a country that has always prided itself on being a sum greater than its disparate parts. Now, they worry, it's not so much E Pluribus Unum, ("out of many one" – the phrase on the Seal of the United States), but Ex uno plura ("out of one, many").
As the Virginia Congressman Jim Moran puts it: "I don't want a situation where whites go to the original museums, African Americans go to the African American museum, Indians to the Indian museum and Hispanics to the Latino American museum. That's not America."
