I been sayin’ it and sayin’ it . . . ain’t I been sayin’ it? (Cue Randy Quaid from “Independence Day”): if Cain comes in a strong second in IA and doesn’t get completely blown out in NH, he will win SC and FL. Then Willard is in deep doo.
In a case like that Willard would not only be in deep doo, Willard would be finished as a candidate for president. Remember, so far no one has won the R nomination without winning the SC primary as long as there has been an SC Republican primary. If you can’t win this state as a Republican you may as well pack it in.
