True probably 2 weeks ago. Now, not the case. The game has changed.
Just talked to my brother, who has many friends in republican circles all over the state. He said their internal polls show Newt with about a 20 point lead on Romney all over the State. He said mainstream polls like CNN and especially Rasmussen are not reliable because they do not poll the entire state, most concentrating on the Charleston area and areas like Hilton Head in the Lowlands. In otherwords the carpetbagger area of the state. He also went on to say that he had a better chance of winning the lottery that Romney does of carrying SC. He also said that the only reason McCain won the state in 2008 is because McCain was seen as a war hero and SC is big on the military. I have no reason to doubt my brother’s thoughts and observations on the state of politics in SC. He’s a retired chief of police, die-hard republican, and conservative to the bone.
