john mccain was there. and it looked like the kind of stop where mitt romney wanted to come to south carolina and say, i m not forgetting you. i m here. look at me. i brought along the guy who won the south carolina primary four years ago. i hear he is making a few calls around the state. and i think they are putting their foot in the water and trying to figure out how they can get a leg up. they are also realizing, communicated with tlem today, and they tell me that they are under no illusions that in their view it is an uphill battle but they will make a strong showing as possible sb erin. so what do you think about how this will go? because you can make the argument as they did. they don t need to win it. but as gloria pointed out, no one ever won the nomination without it. look be with you got to play south carolina. it is an important state and much more complex than the stereotype. i m biassed, my folks live there. but he can complete there. there are a lot of plis conception
out front tonight mitt romney begins a battle in south carolina. five days until the primary in new hampshire, right in that s where the former massachusetts governor has a solid lead. so where he decided to spend most of the day was, south carolina. i want to restore to america the principles that made us the powerhouse, morally, economically and militarily, in the entire world. romney, his pal john mccain, and gal nicky haley, all there, giving a joint speech in charlston. this is a whole new ball game. one of the highest concentration of evangelical voters in america, nearly half of the population identifies itself as evangelical. which doesn t exactly mean good things for mitt romney. in iowa, 34% voted for rick santorum, only 14% for mitt romney. here is what is amazing. we don t know if romney has made it right with christians in south carolina because polls are about a month old. wisdom is that he wouldn t and didn t need to win south carolina. the vibe changed. no
