PPP SC Tweets (1/18)

Everyone was there more. Ron's long game is killer.

Yeah, this is true. EVERYONE was in SC more than Paul. The original delegates strategy from day 1 ignored SC. Whatever delegates we get from SC will just be 'bonus' on top of the original plan.

SC is like FL -- 100% grassroots. No PCC

I predicted Newt was the establishment pick for the GOP from the very beginning of his 'surge' last December. The establishment doesn't want Romney.

Well, they don't want Paul. I think they'd rather have Romney and Gingrich strong than Romney really strong and Gingrich not a factor.

I actually wish this story wasn't running until after Newt wins SC.

And James Madison, I had you beat by a few months on calling the Newt-ron bomb. Still, good looking out to see it.

I think the establishment would be fine with Romney, but sees that Romney isn't catching on so they're trying to hedge their bets.

I was saying "don't count Newt out" and Gingrich, Romney and Paul can win and Cain, Huntsman, Santorum and Bachmann can't win before September 2011. (You can't get famous enough to win the Republican nomination by running for President that year.)

We need to go positive with a strong economic growth, national defense and security ad the last two days before the primary.
I would hit hard on the ballot access issue among other things including their record.

Mitt cannot win South Carolina...if he does, he will assuredly win Florida (because he really is the only one with the money to run there full throttle)...then Nevada with the 2nd biggest mormon population. He got over 50% in the nevada caucus in 2008...sure to replicate or come close. His strongest of those three states is probably Nevada.

If he wins Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida, and Nevada....it is assuredly over.

@ppppolls:

Perry was running behind Colbert in our SC polling last night

Because of the changing situation in South Carolina we're just going to go ahead and release our results from last night this AM

According to Drudge ABC will air the interview on Thursday. Where will Newt's supporters go? Back to Santorum?

I think Santorum himself is doing everything in his power to make sure he doesn't say something judgmental about Gingrich's moral values.

Gingrich's supporters will go to Romney. If they're leaving him because he's a horrible, hypocritical asshole, then Romney makes the most sense because he's safe and has very few - if any - personal/family negatives.

I really don't know what is worse to be honest. Newt winning just gives the msm the Romney Vs Anyone but Paul candidate scenario. And Mitt winning, well yea, not good either really.

Mitt had some sick numbers last cycle too in some of them western states. It was just ridiculous how high they were. Something like 66% in Wyoming, 60% in Colorado. Bah. Someone said Ron was in second place in NV last year, but umm...by how much? If it's some lopsided number like 55 to 18, well that is not really going to help.
