Good to hear. I’ve been talking him up to family and friends. Quite a few have expressed interest in learning more.

[danielmryan]

This time, the results will be dramatically different, as the state's active Evangelical voting bloc is expected to set aside prejudice in favor of pragmatism/

Yes, but not necessarily to Romney's benefit. Rick Santorum and Newt Gigrish are both "Papists."

[Hoodat]

Rick Santorum looks pretty good, but in South Carolina, he's just another Yankee.

Santorum was actually born in the South. I don't know why he isn't advertising that point.

>> South Carolina evangelicals are putting aside anti-Mormon bias and looking again at Mitt Romney.

Who are you kidding? They probably don’t know he’s Mormon.

Unlike Romney, Gingrich admits to his mistakes and immorality.

Daniel, that wasn’t my “quote”. The poster must have taken it from the article.

It’s too early to get a handle on South Carolina.
By this time next week, Perry’s numbers should be far better.
Campaigning has just begun.

Huckabee Forum on the 14th at 8pm ET on Fox
South Carolina Republican Party debate at 9 pmET on the 16th

No fear, but a whole lot of amusement. LOL,

[Utmost Certainty]

Given what's left, I'm not surprised that South Carolina evangelicals are putting aside anti-Mormon bias and looking again at Mitt Romney.

Lol. Supporting Romney isn't terribly pragmatic considering he'll lose in a cataclysmic landslide to Obama.

If I believed Romney was a sure-winner against Obama, I'd pragmatically warm up to the idea of him as nominee, in spite of the fact that he's a human weathervane with labile convictions. But this guy just doesn't stand a chance.

Wake up!

The liberal Willard is not an option at all to WIN SC, the Decider State since 1980..

Willard the Lib’s 23% versus the three conservatives combined 40% tells you that.

[rbmillerjr]

Only Establishment hacks will vote for Romney.

Southerners will vote for Gingrich, he ll win a close one in South Carolina and route Mittens in Florida.

Haley should expect a huge challenge in 14 as well.

The real elections begin now, not those circus affairs in Iowa and NH.

Go Gingrich.

[Grunthor]

Within two days of the vote, if Santorum (And I support him) is still ten pts back of Newt and Romney, he needs to do the honorable thing, bow out and immediately endorse and go to work for Newt Gingrich.

[Republican Wildcat]

Rick Perry has 5

Enough to make the difference - or put Santorum back up there with the top of the pack. Remember when some of the Perry supporters made the absurd charges that it was Cain who was trying to help Romney? It's actually Perry by staying in the race.

As this race in SC evolves, you will see Santorum fading even more from his current 14 and you will see Perry’s support drain off...all to Gingrich.

The people of SC know what is at stake and will adjust to too many conservatives...they know Newt down there.

[txhurl]

OH PLEASE... like mitts needs any help..

[beaversmom]

Dittos.

[danielmryan]

Okay, thanks for the correction. It did come from the original article. I don't know what went wrong.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks VinL.

"This is not good news for Mitt Romney," said Towery, who chaired several of Gingrich's congressional campaigns before becoming a non-partisan pollster... the state's active Evangelical voting bloc is expected to set aside prejudice in favor of pragmatism.
