As you probably have read or heard the networks have all projected Newt the winner in South Carolina.

So this means he’s won one, Romney has won one and there was one tie.

It also means Romney is the only one who has placed 1st or 2nd in all three and it does nothing to change the fact that Romney will be the nominee but will lose in November to Obama. The party leadership is simply not going to allow Newt to be the standard bearer for the GOP and Obama is simply not going to lose in November.

I can’t point to any specific stats to prove this to be true, but I think it is, so I thought I’d share my views.
