a chance? he did very poorly in new hampshire. didn t do that impressive in iowa. is really do or die for him in south carolina. does he have a chance? is there a potential constituency for him there, or does he get ready to go home? well, i think that this is a place that governor perry is really well received. no question about it. but i honestly think this is do or die for anybody. for 30 years, we picked the eventual nominee. so whoever wants to win this thing has to win it here. they have to get out and meet our voters and connect with them and make their story meaningful and real to all the electorate. well, chad connelly, thank you for your time. see, we didn t fight tonight. but when you come back, i ve got a few rough ones for you. i m just trying to get a handicap on the race tonight. you come back now, ya hear? have a great night. glad to be here. ron paul surging on his anti-war message. and has the beltway media been paying attention to him?
