He needs to nail this debate tonight. I hope they have good answers to the guaranteed questions about his ex. I think if he can get the crowd stirred up like earlier this week, he’ll win Saturday.
“Santorum earned 9 percent support.”
It’s time for Santorum to drop out.
All the polls trending like this one, altho this one is a tad heavy for Paul and a tad light for Santorum. But clearly Newt made the case that he’s the conservative folks want to see run against Obama on Monday by how he handled the racial question and Santorum made the case that he’s a nice guy without the big time talent when he went all PC on MLK day.
“Romney heads into South Carolina’s January 21 primary as the clear frontrunner after virtually tying for first place in the Iowa caucuses”
Oh, but when he was 8 votes AHEAD, he didn’t virtually tie, he “won in a close contest”. Can these people be any more transparently hypocritical? Just wow...
He has the wind in his sails right now but he’s sailing into rocky waters. We need to get this Marianne Gingrich crap out of the news. I only know of two Republicans with the power to do that right now, John Boehner and Rick Santorum.
WOOT!
GO NEWT!
I wonder... Is Drudge getting paid by the hour for keeping the Ex-Wife story the main headline?
The other three:
Latest Polls Thursday, January 19
South Carolina Republican Presidential Primary PPP Romney 28, Gingrich 34, Paul 15, Santorum 14, Perry 5 Gingrich +6
South Carolina Republican Presidential Primary Insider Advantage Romney 29, Gingrich 32, Paul 15, Santorum 11, Perry 3 Gingrich +3
South Carolina Republican Presidential Primary Rasmussen Reports Romney 31, Gingrich 33, Paul 15, Santorum 11, Perry 2 Gingrich +2
RoPaul third? 19%? If Paul ever got the nomination, he would be an easy target for the opposition. There's plenty of negative stuff on Paul out there. The vetting of him by the media and Dems would be a dream come true.
When the polls close and teh votes counted there will be a number of people who will look around and say, “How did he win taht many votes?” The question si WHO will we be talking about? But the contest is a marathon not a sprint.
Pointing out the obvious here, but if these numbers hold, the GOP primary will be a brand new game. Romney’s “inevitability factor” will have been shattered, and the momentum towards a perceived easy win in Florida will be gone as well.
Ping!
