South Carolinians are very practical when it comes to picking politicians. We like winners and ones that look out for our state.
Thats how we get a Thurmond and a Hollings serving for decades....simultaneously (or a DeMint and a Graham).
Many see Romney as the best to defeat Obama, strong on business, and I expect him to win. (I don’t agree with it, but thats what I am getting around here). There is also a big Ron Paul vote as an Obama backlash.
I think Gingritch will come in third, with Santorum and Perry splitting 18-20% (mostly the religious folks).
I personally haven’t decided who I will actually pull the lever for, and there are a lot of other undecideds that are going to have to get off the fence shortly too.
I pray Newt takes it. nobama will beat Mittens like a dog. Our poor country cannot stand another four years of nobama. As it stands now, IMHO, it will take 20-30 years for conservatives in office just to repair the damage nobama has inflicted.
I feel sorry for the folks 50 and below. You're in for a rough ride.
I'm also very concerned that, after just three states, people are declaring the nomination to be "over." EXTREMELY unfair to the other 47 states.
As for myself I have never followed the band wagon, If I thought Huntsman was the best man I might write him in even though he has officially dropped out. Unfortunately some people would vote for Satan if they thought he would win, they want to be able to say they voted for the winner, even if the winner is their worst enemy.
I will NOT vote for Romney regardless of polls. I would stay home first.
