well, bye.
Gunder “well, bye.”
Well said.
Another one down!
SC is looking very tight now. Based on tonight, looks like Santorum got 80% of Huckabee voters and Gingrich got 20% of them and 17% of the McCain voters from 2008.
If these numbers hold in SC, it’s bad News. Newt needs to make up about 10-15 points in Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Charleston. According to the latest polling, Romney’s got a 70-30 edge on the 2008 McCain voters in these areas. A month ago when Newt was leading SC, it was flipped. It’s okay for Santorum and Gingrich to both legitimately compete in SC because unlike 2008 when Thompson was going after Huckabee’s voters, Newt doesn’t have to necessarily do that with Santorum. There are enough of the McCain/Rudy/Thompson voters from 2008 that can allow Newt to compete directly against Romney without touching Santorum and where Romney could finish as low as 3rd.
Fence sitting for the conservatives yet to endorse has to come to an end though for Palin, Cain, and Demint. SC is the last stand. If Romney pulls a crappy plurality here, that may be the end of things.
