whole exchange ended of what happened to rick santorum. thank you for your time and attention. thanks. now that s new hampshire. new hampshire on social issues, decidedly not like south carolina. but does an exchange like that, a sound bite like that play differently in south carolina? that whole exchange would play different. the least religious state in the nation. rick santorum ain t no libertarian. but that appeal can help him in south carolina for better or worse. what do you think about how that might play or will play tonight to south carolina? well, you know, in south carolina, people are more attune to the social issues. in new hampshire, it s more the economic issues. but i think what you saw there is rick santorum welcome to the big leagues, welcome to the top tier. what happens when you re in the top tier, as you go around the state, you re going to have people who want to challenge you because they know that he s very conservative on social issues.
