If it were a "good 'ol boy" southern fat cat that statement would be true, but since Mitt's a yankee they may view things differently.

In that case, Bain Capital will neither help nor harm Romney.

I post this link in South Carolina's defense.

South Carolina workers also emphasized today's hearing is part of a broader political assault on working families taking place across the country.

"This is just another example of the extreme political agenda being pushed by politicians around the country to reward corporate CEOs and lobbyists who are rigging the system – not working families," said James Johnson, a recently laid off construction worker from Summerville. "We have seen it Wisconsin and Ohio, with the attacks on public service workers, in Washington DC with the GOP budget plan to gut Medicare, and now right here in our backyard."

McCain beat Huckbee in 2008. Dole beat Buchanan in 1996 and George HW Bush beat conservatives in 1988 and 1992. South Carolina Republican fall in line with the powers-that-be.

was out of respect for his military service. Mittens doesn't have that, but of the non-nutballs, Perry does. It might help him in SC, surely that's what he's betting on.

I figure that SC is a three-way subprimary, Santorum vs. Perry vs. Gingrich. They'll be smart to form a pact after tonight, and the lowest two drop out before Florida to avoid handing Mittens his fourth win out of four. He still will not have a significant amount of delegates, and with Romney, an anti-Romney, and Paul as the sideshow, then winner-take-all will decimate Willard in all but a handful of states.

I am skeptical.

down to the Carolinas. Yes, we've heard about the ones that relocated to Florida, and Mittens has them as allies, but there is a sizable minority of transplants from the high-tax, ass-freezing Northeastern states to the mild Carolinas. Bonus: Fewer hurricanes, too.

How do you think Barack Obama won NC in the general last time around?

Mittens won't play all that well with that crowd.
