An InsiderAdvantage poll conducted Wednesday night has former House Speaker Newt Gingrich now leading the Republican primary race in South Carolina.

The poll of likely Republican primary voters has Gingrich with 32 percent, ahead of Mitt Romney who trailed close behind at 29 percent.

The results are a significant reversal for Romney, who had led polls before Tuesday's Fox News debate. A poll conducted by InsiderAdvantage last Sunday showed Romney with a double-digit lead over Gingrich.

The InsiderAdvantage poll is the first major South Carolina survey after the debate. Gingrich has been crediting with winning the debate.

The poll found that support for Ron Paul and Rick Santorum is faltering, with both pulling 15 and 11 percent, respectively.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry finished last with just 3 percent of the vote. Three percent of those polled selected "other candidate" and 7 percent said they had no opinion.

The survey polled 718 registered Republican voters.

Thank you!! I just ran through some of Presto’s ugly posts and wonder how he has gotten this far! Ugly, ugly posts! A real wanna-be, for sure!

Indeed. Here’s hoping that it’s not just a suspension this time.

DITTO!!!

As a female, does NOT bother me. I want to save my country and I am praying he can do it, faults and all.

You're correct. Looks like Romney just assumed Huckabee's endorsement, when Huckabee was only endorsing Romney's flavor of crony communism:

Mike Huckabee said Mitt Romney's campaign was not authorized to use his voice in a new web video released Monday.
The ad, "Huckabee," featured quotes from the former Arkansas governor's radio show last week when he called on Republicans to stop criticizing Romney's corporate career at Bain Capital.

Hoo boy...you’re brutal ;-)

Oh boy, I'm celebrating this one. Totally well deserved ZOT. He actually thinks Hussein is happily married. Now that there is funny. Hussein will never be happily married unless he's married to another man.

that alone deserves a zot for being stupid. Then he went on to say this:

"I am a long time freeper and if I’m not free to speak my mind here about who who is best to take on Obama, then kick me out. If it were possible for him to do so, it only expose how truly insecure and weak minded you all are.

So, go ahead, Jim. I CHALLENGE you to “zot” me. I know you can’t do it. Everybody here knows you can’t do it. So, if you can: PROVE IT."

HAHAHHAHA, good riddance to bad rubbish and sign up dates alone, mean NOTHING.

[TheOldLady]

I saw his zot challenge to Jim. I think he got a suspension for that since there is a large time gap after that post. I just hope that this post isn’t another suspension.

"ANYONE KNOW MR. DRUDGE???? I think this deserves a red siren!!!!"

Isn't Drudge on Romney's support team? That's the way it looks to me......

[going hot]

Drudge may be on his own support team pretty soon, life support.

[gogogodzilla]

Talk about timing! The day after I write this... he actually goes and does it.

I didn’t think I’d be so accurate.

[annieokie]

Good prophetic call, I think we all knew/hoped he would do this and today was perfect. God Bless the man for his courage in the fight. Thank you Gov. Perry.

Thanks VinL.

"Newt 32 Mitt 29 Santorum 11 Perry 3"

Paul is at less than 3%?

[SunkenCiv]

Presto? Changoe.

[SunkenCiv]

I think the article said 15, or anyway, in the same general area as Santorum. And both have faded along with Mitt.

[BenKenobi]

“Don’t confuse and interrupt Ben Star Wars with facts. He’s never read the debate’s transcripts.”

Speak for yourself Cobra. Don’t put words in my mouth.

[BenKenobi]

Santorum supporters are Democrats? News to me. Last I checked the Dims have blind rage at Santorum because he has fiercely defended marriage against the homosexual lobby.

But then, you’d know that if you actually did your research.
