Romney in Green, Gingrich in Blue, Thune in Red, Johnson in Gray. Something tells me that Giuliani and Barbour would drop out after the first primary states, as they would fail to gain traction. Barbour would have spent time competing with Gingrich for SC, and Giuliani with Romney, and to a lesser extent, Johnson, for New Hampshire. Thune is able to pull off Iowa and take several of the states close to his home, but he cannot overcome Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney, as they are both more popular politically. In the end, Romney is able to pull off a victory, largely credited to large amount of "movement" candidates in the race and the party unwilling to accept Gary Johnson.
