THANK YOU GOVERNOR! That is a super-important and responsible thing to do.

The reason is, SC is WINNER-TAKE-ALL and if Romney wins the first 3 out 3 primaries
EVERYONE will declare the primaries OVER, and crown Mitt!

Here is what I have been saying for days....

---

* Before Monday's debate, Mitt was losing ground, and his debate performance was weak / below average
* Before Monday's debate, Newt was GAINING ground, and his debate performance was fantastic
* Rick Perry gained into upper single-digits but his debate performance was mediocre
* Rick Santorum was losing ground rapidly, AND his debate performance was mediocre
* Jon Huntsman's support was ONLY 1% in the latest poll, and that support won't ALL go to Romney so don't sweat him
* Ron Paul takes more support away from Romney than others, so don't sweat him

SC voters: If you liked Rick or Rick, THINK ABOUT THIS before voting....

Each congressional district will have 2 delegates given to the winner-take-all within the district (that's 14 delegates total)

And Statewide, there will be 11 delegates given to the winner-take-all at the state level

So let's assume Romney is still barely in 1st place in the polls just before the vote.
Let's assume there is only ONE close NON-Romney in 2nd place (Newt).

Maybe YOU would prefer Rick or Rick....

But, IF YOU Vote for Rick or Rick, you have most likely helped award ALL delegates TO ROMNEY because it is WINNER TAKE ALL!!!!

The ONLY way to NOT hand your SC delegates to ROMNEY is to consolidate all conservative votes behind the LEADING NON-ROMNEY

Good Analysis of the situation.

It's at times like this that all conservatives need to unite and do what we know needs to be done: panic and throw our support behind Buddy Roemer. They'll never expect it.

Romney did not win Iowa. That was revealed this morning.

What also was revealed is evident shenanigans in a simple vote count in Iowa that in the past has been completed in just a few hours.

I’m convinced because of the scorched earth policy of the Romney camp that they are responsible for attempting to falsify the vote in Iowa. Therefore, I’m convinced Romney lost in Iowa and that Santorum won.

I’m proud of Perry. He’s doing the right thing, and even though I supported him from the beginning, I found it necessary to reconsider. He has seen that too. Also, he’s figured it out in terms of debate, and that makes Perry an extremely viable candidate for the future...I hope he runs for the Texas US Senator slot after his governorship is completed.

I believe he was unfairly attacked by Bachmann over the gardasil thing, but I believe Romney operatives spread that far and wide. Bachmann had no money to do such a thing.

That is absolutely right. If not Newt, it WILL be mitt and then he seems virtually unstoppable...and he MUST be stopped.

Man Rick shows Boy Rick how it’s done.
Let’s hope Boy Rick will soon stand up and do the right thing.

Where’s Ron Paul on your little polling average chart? Assuming he’s running second or third I would think he’d be included.
