maxomaiToday (Saturday) the South Carolina primary election will be held.
According to PPP (which leans Democratic, but that hardly matters here), Romney had a five point lead a week ago. Today, he's losing to Newt Gingrich by double digits.
So, surprise surprise, Newt is in all likelihood going to crush Romney.
And Romney's polling is collapsing nationwide as well. In particular, he was ahead by fifteen in Florida as of Monday, but things have really shifted since then. If the conservative base continues shifting to Gingrich, we could see the upset of the decade: a GOP ticket led by Newt Gingrich in 2012.
Followed, of course, by the biggest Democratic landslide since 1964.
