South Carolina is the firewall that must not be breached. The next couple of weeks are going to be incredibly important in what transpires there in the primary.
I believe there are a couple of debates (one Monday night in Myrtle Beach?) which could help to re-calibrate things for Newt. Plus the fact that now Romney is even getting scrutiny on this whole issue of his “electability”. And don’t think that if Romney gets the nod that Obama won’t pull Duvall Patrick (the current MA gov) out on the campaign trail to tell the American public what a mess he inherited when he took over as governor there.
If Newt makes a comeback against the onslaught that took place against him in IA and NH, he will be stronger for it.
Do you know if Perry will be in the South Carolina debates or are they just taking the winners in Iowa?
Which would be stupid.
