So now that Huntsman has dropped out to help Willard the Lib, can Perry drop out now to help conservatives?

Interesting—thought he would wait for Florida to Drop. It will all be over by Groundhogs day. Mitt will have it—only a divine act could stop Mittens now.

All of the credible polls.

If you think an internet poll with 40% Republicans is a credible poll, you are living in a universe more fictional than the Star Wars universe.

Look at all of the RCP polls, look at the ARG poll. There is no doubt where everyone stands in SC.

I opened the link and I see no confirmation on that. I know someone on his mailing list and she is not sure this is true. She doesn’t support him but has been curious about him. And for now has doubts about him withdrawing.

Newt should be the one dropping out, not Santorum. Santorum won the right to stay in with a first place tie in Iowa.

As to Huntsman, his 1 percent in SC will go to Romney and it could be important in a close race at the end.

You mean he’s following the Thompson plan..

McLame 33%
Huck 30%

Fred 15% (Who was playing SPOILER for anyone who challenged McLame)

The national polls have Gingrich ahead, too:

Beware this. Just enough huntsman votes will go to romney to ensure that Newt can’t catch him. But looky here.
From wiki:

In early 2001, Bain purchasd a 30% stake in Huntsman Corporation, a leading chemical company. Bain’s $600 million investment in Huntsman has been noted as an interesting footnote in the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination process since Mitt Romney’s former firm (he had left Bain in 1999) acquired the company controlled by the father of another candidate Jon Huntsman (Huntsman was an executive of the company at that time).

If Willard the Lib beats Newt by a couple points or so, Perry will be responsible.

But hey, maybe Perry can get a job in the future nonexistent Rombot administration.

None of the primaries prior to April 1 are winner-take-all, including SC. Winner-take-all is not allowed this year until April 1.

That is why all of the candidates got a trickle of delegates from IA and NH.

This has Santorum ahead, Newt at 13. About what that ‘fake poll’ said was the case.

Huntsman Chemical (the father's company) is owned by Bain!

I mean, like over 60% of SC's population lives in trailers ~ not that there's anything with trailers ~ but they are far from a leadership position in anything these days.

According to ePodunk (and census.gov), only 20.3% of South Carolina's housing units are trailers.

He was boring and arrogant.

I want to confirm that you are talking about Huntsman. Correct? :-)
