Interesting article on the importance of SC in the race, mentioning the role of grassroots support in helping get Reagan's elected.
There is also a brief mention of RP:
"Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has drawn the most money so far from Palmetto State voters. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been consistently strong in the statewide polls. Then there are the dark-horse candidates nationwide such as U.S. Reps. Ron Paul of Texas and Duncan Hunter of California, who have rabid fan bases in South Carolina. Toss in the looming specter of former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee joining the fray, and there could be some concerns about whether the state voters can pick the right guy."
