Excellent. Once the remaining 14% of Santorum supporters see that he's collapsing, they'll move to Newt.

Cross-tabs offer some glimmers of hope:

Our poll suggests health care issue could cost Romney 6 pts in South Carolina if anyone really pushed it

Possible chink in the armor? Romney's net fav down 7 pts over the last week in SC, Gingrich's is up 4

58% in SC say they DON'T want Romney to be the nominee...but seems unlikely they'll unify around anyone

It feels incredibly weird to be rooting for Newt Gingrich, but...

Woo! Newtmentum!

He just needs to collapse after the debates and it will be set.

I don't know, Lief.  This is apparently a state dumb enough to have 6% of its population think Perry is still relevant.

Phil, have you abandoned Santorum and gotten aboard the Newt Train again? We need everyone's full support for this.

I think its time for an "OMG RON PAUL IS EBUL!!!11!!!!1" mega thread to start dumping all these posts into.

Actually, I'd guess his fully-televised-talking-head-commentary-free speech after the New Hampshire results started coming in gave him a bit of a boost, so to a point it is a media generated surge.

Nothing like the 24/7 "SANTORUM SURGE WATCH" or "NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY 48 HOUR HUNTSMAN PUMPING" that were apparently specials on CNN.

You can point out this (fair) point without making a fool of yourself.

I think Phil might be joking.
