Newt won better than 40% of the share of SC votes from evangicals and from women. So what we do know is that in S.C. 40% of SC voters were not overly concerned about Newt's personal life.

However, they seem to be concerned about the sincerity, or lack thereof concerning Romney's message. Romney is going to take a walloping once his tax returns are out. He has stashed millinons upon millions in the Caymans'. He has multile million in tax deferred IRA's . He only paid 15% on his taxes owing to it being primiarly investment income. He was pro-choice as governor of MA, raised taxes, implemented RomneyCare, a model for ObamaCare. RomneyCare is said to all payment for abortions. I do not know if that is true????
Romney IMHO is a RINO.

The three main issues are growing the economy re-setting our defese/offense (foreign) policies and repeal of ObamaCare. Romney has never admitted RomneyCare was a mistake, despite the grim stats coming out of MA. all he had to say was it was a failed experiment. He did not.
