In related news, Mount Pleasant Patch News, in S.C., is reporting the following:SC Sources: "Gingrich Could Endorse Santorum"While Newt Gingrich campaign staffers are calling such talk premature, there are indications that should the former House Speaker bow out of the GOP race, he would throw his support behind rising Rick Santorum in a last-ditch effort to stop frontrunner Mitt Romney.Multiple South Carolina sources affiliated with Santorum's campaign said Gingrich's campaign has contacted Santorum's campaign to discuss endorsing the former Pennsylvania senator should he drop out.

I concur DJ. Romney had a good night but NOT a great night. As I stated in a related topic, Romney's no prize_not by any stretch of the imagination. But he's up against amateurs and mental midgets. Add to that: He's got organization and lots of money. But what he still does NOT have is the enthused support of good size of the *base.* They don't like him and they don't trust him. In fact, in doing a quick dash by a few of the more popular right-wing blogs, this morning, I sense a quite dispirited group. That's not to say that Romney can't win South Carolina. All he needs is enough center-right votes and SOME talibangelical/Teajihadist votes. He could then go on to win Florida and most_if not all_the other southern states. Indeed. I expect him to win the nomination. But at what cost?I think he loses to Pres. Obama with_or without_*base* support. But no doubt about it. If the *base* (the worker-bees) continues to resist him, he'll suffer an even greater defeat.
