Romney is certainly opposed, but the Conservative vote is split. Cain is getting the plurality of it, but Perry is still getting enough to keep Romney atop, not to mention the gains that Gingrich as made to around 9%, and every percentage point will count, including the 3 or 4% each that Santorum and Bachmann take:
BEFORE the SC primary, the race needs to shake up. I am worried, Perry’s money will keep him in regardless of his performance in IA and NH.
Romney gets 24% in SC.
If Perry (15%), Gingrich (8%), Santorum (3%), Bachmann (3%) drop out and get behind Cain (25%), it’s a blow-out. But because all these conservatives will feel SC is their best chance after IA, they may opt to stay in.
Do not believe these polls that say Cain and Romney are way up on Perry in SC. No way in hades that the peoeple of SC will vote for a liberal Morman over a born again Christian in Perry. That’s the truth. They also know about Romney pro-abortion and pro-homosexual marriage past and do not trust him. These polls are being floated by the liberal media who are salivating for race between to liberals, as in Romney versus O-Bomb-a.
