Romney gives up on SC, looks to Nevada
Fresh off his win in MI, but not encouraged by his low numbers in SC, Mitt Romney has decided to set his sights on Nevada (via Memeorandum):
Just a day after his big win in Michigan, Mitt Romney ceded South Carolina to his rivals.
“This is a state I’d expect that Sen. [John] McCain has pretty well wrapped up” Romney told reporters at the Sun City Hilton Head Retirement Center in Bluffton. “It would be an enormous surprise if he were unable to win here.”
Romney’s South Carolina strategy amounts to being politically half-pregnant. He doesn’t want to raise expectations in a state he likely can’t win, so he’s dashing off to Nevada midday Thursday to compete in the lightly contested caucuses there Saturday. But at the same time, he doesn’t want to offend his supporters in South Carolina.
Polls show Romney standing in solid third place in South Carolina, taking anywhere from 13 percent to 17 percent of the vote. But in Bluffton, Romney put himself in fourth place, noting that “even a strong fourth is better than what some of the other guys saw in Michigan last night.”
The SC primary is going to be a nailbiter, I think – but I believe McCain’s going to be the winner there over Huck. The NV caucus is up for grabs, and Romney has a shot at winning there. Will be interesting to see if anyone has any momentum going into FL.
In an effort to appeal to conservatives whose number one issue is illegal immigration, Huckabee is now shifting his stance on illegals by signing a pledge indicating that he would send all illegal aliens home. Oh, and it’s sunny and 92 degrees right now in Charlotte, NC.

So,at this point I should start to trust Huckabee? This man is a danger to the country. The nice guy thing will come back to him later and sell our country out to millions of illegals. I should not worry as he cannot beat anyone on the other side for the office.
Hey! Quit hoggin’ all that global warming in Charlotte! We’re frickin’ FREEZING here in Vega$ !
And we don’t DO freezing here in the desert!
Oh, shaddup.
I get to look forward to this today in southern NJ:
Cloudy. A slight chance of snow this late this morning…then rain likely with a chance of sleet this afternoon. Highs in the lower 40s. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 70 percent.
But on a more serious note, I’m with Jim on this. I’m more inclined to believe what he did as governor is the true litmus test of what to expect from a Huckabee presidency, not what he’s saying now hoping the voters will buy the latest marketing.
LOL GWR – I was playing around … it’s really snowing here today
Damn it, ST, It is only supposed to be -1 here on Saturday. I don’t know how Green Bay is going to be the 4 degrees predicted on Mike&Mike.
Serves me right for not following the link before commenting. Must remember to engage brain before using keyboard.
The Nevada caucus is in two days. All the Dem wannabes are here in Vega$ parading their jive on tv and radio. You’d think (given the occasion) that the honorable senate majority leader (D-NV) would at least make an appearance or two, wouldn’t you?
But ole Pinky Reid is no where to be found…
How Can any conservative vote for Romney?
He was listed as one of the top ten Republicans in Name Only by Human Events Magazine.
What will he be after the primary?
And would he be another George Bush if he gets elected?
