An NC Role in the Primaries?

A nice change.

Under The Dome:

The May 8th North Carolina Republican primary depends on the Newt Gingrich factor.
If the former House speaker remains in the race, then Mitt Romney is leading among North Carolina Republicans. But if Gingrich drops out of the race, conservatives rally around Rick Santorum.

That is according to a new survey by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic leaning firm based in Raleigh.

It should come as no surprise, though, that without Newt dividing the vote of the majority of conservatives who are not weak conservative Romney supporters, Santorum comes out ahead.  But it is just as likely that if Santorum were to drop out, Newt would pick up NC.

It is just nice that NC may play a role in the primary process.
