How well can he do in South Carolina. Reporter well, that will be the first big test for john kasich. He had an impressive showing that came in the last two weeks in New Hampshire in his support, it only grew as time went on and it is a completely different batch of voters he has to deal with in South Carolina and he has packed a schedule there and not spending much time there at all and has multiple events in the next couple of days building a base of support in South Carolina.

In fact, jeb bush and his super pack are up with an ad hammering john kasich in South Carolina. They are attacking what they call his plans to gut the of course is a very important part of the voter base in South Carolina. It will be tough.
