19% = 1 in 5 which means it's a wash with 5 candidates left unless one of the others gains them disproportionately
Ron Paul the Second Choice of 19% of Huntsman's Supporters in South Carolina

No, the OP of the thread is about the PPP SC poll, not a national poll, which is irrelevant anyway.

1% can make a big difference in a primary. In New Hampshire for example we had:
Santorum 23,362
Gingrich 23,291
Difference -- 71 votes, or about 3% of a single percentage point.
And then there was first place in Iowa too between Romney and Santorum. Paul hasn't had any nailbitingly close results but there could easily be one in SC or another upcoming state.

Colbert is dry-running a national campaign, his SC supporters are very active.
Considering ther are really only 5 other choices, wouldn't 20% be the AVERAGE...so anything under that is bad news? Actually..I am not asking, i am telling. All that means that is Romney will get helped out much more than Paul, and that is pretty bad news seeing as Romney is already the clear front runer right now.

You guys are forgetting that the difference in votes in Iowa was pretty slim, and it's not just the votes it's the social influence that comes with them. There will be many smaller states where a 1% or 2% will make a major difference, why diminish any number of votes when we can use them all? Come on guys, think about this, seriously.

Yes, Romney is helped more than us, but other candidates are helped far less than us. And remember, our strategy is to wipe them out and then go for the King.

Romney gains most out of this well timed dropping out: Exactly the day that Ron Paul gets his Tom Davis endorsement, so you know what the headlines will say today and tomorrow and what will be mentioned only at the sideline.
Or am I saying something strange?

No, it's par for the course. Romney and his power brokers have plenty of cards in their hand to counter our campaigns moves. It's going to be a long fight and the politics will be brutal and cerebra on both sides. Obviously I think the RP camp has the only real strategy at knocking Mitt off, but it's not like Mitt will fall asleep like the hare to our tortoise.
He knows we are very dangerous so the pressure will be immense.
We'll still get our broadsides in...we just have to weather the same.
If Perry can't crack the top three, maybe even win it, he's packing it in. SC was supposed to be his stronghold. Looks like it will be his final resting place.
