Given that he won Iowa - Newt is playing the spoiler role.
Newt has yet to top 12 percent in any primary, anywhere. Right now, it’s looking unlikely that he’ll beat Paul in SC, and finally climb out of fourth place.
Yep- Just look at the final results so far:
Iowa:
1. Romney
2. Santorum
3. Ron Paul
4. Gingrich
New Hampshire:
1. Romney
2. Paul
3. Hunstman (out now)
4. Santorum
5. Gingrich
