if predictions prove to be, or polling proves to be roughly in line with the results in iowa and new hampshire, and we get sort of a three-way cluster tomorrow in iowa and romney wins pretty big in new hampshire, if that happens, are you already looking ahead to south carolina in terms of its predictive ability and who is likely to run strongest there as a determinative race? that would be romney s first opportunity to close i think essentially the nomination, unless there were some scandal or some vetting issue later on. if a candidate like mitt romney who s a mormon in a very evangelical protestant state, certainly not a southerner. if he wins in south carolina after having done well in iowa and new hampshire, there s not a real argument that other candidates are viable at that point. i think it might be a little more likely that some candidate comes back and wins south carolina, maybe a santorum or, who knows, maybe gingrich will have a miraculous comeback. romney has good states
