Oh god, I truly and deeply hope Newt wins South Carolina today. It’s looking like he will, with Mitt in second. Ron Paul is polling in third, which might be enough to kill off Santorum’s campaign, although he got a boost recently when he was declared the official winner of Iowa. Also curious to see how Herman Cain/Steven Colbert ends up doing. A 5-10% protest/lulz vote isn’t out of the question.
It’s fascinating, because on Monday it looked like Mitt had this thing locked up, and now it almost looks wide open. Money is going to be an issue long haul for the non-Romney candidates, but Newt has shown that he knows how to use the national news media for free attention.
