Like wise........Romney / Gingrich together are polling over 60%....Paul and Santorum both around 15, not sure how any one does the math for a Paul victory.

Paul will finish 3rd in SC behind Newt and Romney. The race though, is between Paul and Romney, neither of the other 2 are even on the ballot in at least 3 states.

Yeah, the truth is anyone who casts their vote for Gingrich or Santorum will be throwing their votes away. Just like everyone who voted for Huntsman in NH ... the anybody but Romney crowd really only have one viable option, and the anyone but Paul crowd as well.

I noticed Newt stopped saying I'll do this and I'll do that and started saying we'll do this and we'll do that.

maybe in his heart he knows he's got no shot.

I've been saying Gingrich and Romney aren't on the ballot in three states for weeks! It is a shame at least the talk radio listeners are dumb enough to vote for them.

Hopefully though, since polls show Paul so strong against Obama AND that they showed he creamed everyone in both debates, that enough SC voters will have the sense to vote for him.

One of the ads he is running here has a clip of Sen De Mint saying the media says bad things about Ron Paul but they are wrong and people should LISTEN to Ron Paul. I'm keeping fingers crossed that they will and vote accordingly tomorrow. In fact I wish I could clone myself and be at each voting place holding a sign saying, "Don't waste your vote! Gingrich and Santorum on the ballots in three states and are unelectable!"

Votes for Gingrich in SC won't hurt. They'll keep Romney from getting delegates, and that's a good thing, not a bad one.

Yes, but getting the anybody but Romney crowd to realize that Gingrich and Santorum are literally unelectable because they are not even on the ballots in three states might also make them vote for Paul, which is even better.
