One point Mark Sanford made is that Iowa has very low (5%) unemployment, vs SC at more than 10%. In that since, SC will be a much better barometer for issue-voters, in addition to being a true primary not a “glorified straw poll”.
Bigbob, Sandy was my man! So sorry, that he had that failing. Newt got beat on tv ads- he ran out of debates— But, in SC, I predict, he is going to go after Romney in debate and eviscerate him.
When Newt has a chance to go face to face- and people listen to frank discussion— that’s when they come to his side.
