And Gingrich supported Dede Scozzafava. Santorum, at least, has beaten Gingrich in both states that have voted thus far. I'm supporting Perry, but want to see all candidates stay in the race thru Florida...and then things can be sorted out. If Perry does finish under 10% in SC, then I would say it's time for him to exit.
There will be no “thru Florida.” The winner in SC will probably win in Florida, and judging by the calls I’m getting and the signs I’m seeing (Romney and Paul), that will be Romney.
But some 60+%of the voters don’t want him. So those people have got to get together and vote for one opponent, and the only one who can fight hard enough is Gingrich (who is the leader among them in any case). And then maybe Romney won’t win or will win by only a tiny slice in SC, and the race might still be on.
