If only Newt and Santorum had never wasted any time in NH a state they had no chance of winning and just focused on SC. They could have told all their supporters to vote Paul./ Paul would have beaten Romney and humiliated him in his own backyard, and conservatives would be in good shape for SC.
Really sharp hindsight analysis! If there is still a race by VA, all the non-Romney can then vote for Paul, but I feel certain Mittens will roll on through now but lose a few Deep South primaries, such as AL, MS, LA, possibly TX too.
I think you’re right. Newt and Santorum should have read enough tea leaves to realize NH was a waste of time and gone on to SC as Perry did.
At least Perry can justify his low showing by saying that he didn’t run there.
They can’t.
