Three polls put Newt ahead of Romney in SC:
- Insider Advantage .......Newt 32, Romney 29
- Rasmussen..................Newt 33, Romney 31
- PPP..............................Newt 34, Romney 28
Rick Perry drops out and gives his support to Newt.
A recount finds that Romney lost in Iowa and that Santorum won by around 30 votes. Unfortunately for Santorum the result was that Romney was able to steel valuable momentum from him coming out of Iowa. This should weaken Romney, albeit immeasurably, in SC, but then Romney's supposed win in SC was immeasurable as well.
All good news for Newt, right? Nah.
