Jon Huntsman is dropping out of the presidential race and throwing his support to Mitt Romney. Given he was the only GOP candidate not to generate any sort of anti-Romney buzz this isn’t surprising. The latest poll shows Romney with a substantial lead over his remaining rivals in South Carolina.
Newt Gingrich intends to attack Romney on gun rights in the state. I don’t see this working as Gingrich doesn’t have the money or organization behind his campaign to make him appear as a viable alternative to Romney. He may be right when he said, “I think the only way that a Massachusetts moderate can get through South Carolina is if the vote is split“, but that does not change the fact that Romney is the only candidate who seems to have his act together.
