I've heard some people say Romney has a chance in South Carolina. Not that I think there is a huge chance of him losing at this point anyways, but a win there would be essentially the clinch, imho

Well yeah, hes currently ahead. We just saw an 11% surge for Ron Paul in 1 weeks time though.

According to who? If you look at the averages of the polls he's gone up about 10% in NC over the past month, at the same time that Santorum did the same thing.

Aren't we talking about SC?

Yes, sorry, SC. Going by the RCP numbers he certainly hasn't surged by 11% in the last week. Since the beginning of January he's been polling close to 10%.

According to the picture in my edit he was around 9-10% in Jan 4th-5th.

Jan 11th-12th the polls now show that he is at 21% 3

(Although I guess it depends on which poll you want to select from)

I'm surprised Newt is hanging in there though. Every but Ron and Mitt should drop out already.

Very few polls show him at 21% (though actual turnout for Paul seems to be higher than poll show)

We'll see next week once niners beat the giants

His supporters are too busy putting up signs to answer polls.

I think it would be interesting to see Ron Paul become the "Not-Romney" candidate. Though I think given the choice between Paul and Romney there would likely be a good number of Republicans (10-15% maybe) that would just not vote.

So Gingrich just won in SC by a fair margin. Next up is Florida where Romney is polling ridiculously beyond everyone else.
