Yeah but regarding South Carolina there is a dynamic left out that regarding McCain that Romney doesn't have.
McCain is a veteran & war hero, that alone sells well in SC. Large retired military population there as well as a number of military installations if that's your main diffrentiator vis-avis the other 2008 candidates then his numbers are obvious. Romney has none of that going for him, he is a northern money guy I don't see that selling better then Gingrich or Santorum. Also I think the Paul strength here is overstated. Gingrich is well known in SC and reasonable well thought of, Santorum is not as well known but well thought of. Satorum's "anti Right to Work " votes might make him a harder sell there.
