COLUMBIA, South Carolina (Reuters) - Newt Gingrich jolted the Republican presidential race on Saturday with a convincing come-from-behind victory in South Carolina, where voters rejected frontrunner Mitt Romney’s pitch that he is the best bet to fix a broken economy and defeat President Barack Obama.

Gingrich’s win injects unexpected volatility into a Republican nominating race that until this week appeared to be a coronation for Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and private-equity chief.

Gingrich wins key vote, reshapes Republican race

Republican White House hopeful Newt Gingrich defeated one-time frontrunner Mitt Romney in the key South Carolina primary in an upset that transforms the topsy-turvy race.

The former House speaker, who had surged ahead in the final days of campaigning here, pulled off a surprise victory in the battle to be the party’s presidential nominee in November, US media said, citing exit poll data.

The result destroys the aura of invincibility that had cloaked Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, until a few days ago, and had made him the man to beat in a race that now moves to Florida for its primary on January 31.
