I think the win will help Romney in the next set of polls because it furthers his electable notion. Santorum and Gingrich should fall quite a ways, but I would doubt they fall much below 15%. I would guess Perry becomes a footnote because he won't be seen as the front runner for Tea Party voters. RP should rise to 2nd place in the next polls. I think the advertising and debates will have a rather large effect on the actual vote though and there will be a lot of time for things to change.

Not sure, it really depends on Paul and his message. I assume SC is a closed primary and that you had to switch parties by a certain time to vote in that primary. Is attacking Romney while everyone else is a tactic that should be used by the Paul campaign? I don't think so, in fact, I really think he can make inroads by spouting his long service in the military, how he is pro-life, Pro-Christian-he really needs to explain why as Christians we need to embrace liberty and a peaceful solution to war and why it is biblically supported. He needs to constantly put veterans out there and if plausible use those who are currently in the military (not in uniform) to campaign for him. I think if he does that with well calculated attacks, he can get 2nd or better.

A lot of this depends on how successful his campaign is.

SC is an open primary.
I tell you what, we better shoot for first and if we don't get it hopefully get a close second. Ron Paul is in it to win it and we should be too. All we have to do is get the grassroots going in SC. Phone calls are OK, but meeting people in person through door knocking might work better. We need to treat SC as important as NH and Iowa, cause if Paul doesn't finish well there people will start to write him off and this nomination will go to Romney.
We have tough task set before us, but remember, most people don't vote, like ever, so if we can get these people out to vote for Paul that would be a plus that is not reflected in any poll, since non voters are never polled. How do we get non-voters to the polls to vote for Ron? I heard someone else say that you could buy them a burger, or a beer if they drink. Anything it takes to give Ron the victory short of prostitution would be worth it.

voted 3rd or higher
I'm hoping mitten/grinch/frothy form a circular firing squad trying to win SC leaving Ron to rise above. Add in a Demint endorsement and maybe he could do better than 4th. FL and SC are going to be dark times for this campaign, prepare yourselves for it.

3rd.
I'd guess 3rd place, but I won't be surprised, disappointed or discouraged if we come in 4th. I'm curious the impact Newt's 3.x million worth of ads will have on Romney and Newt himself. Also Santorum's very poor performance might hurt him in SC, we'll see.
