1) Newt Gingrich - Newt slows down Mitt’s momentum and disrupts the coronation of Mitt Romney.
2) Mitt Romney – Mitt Romney goes from winning being the first candidate to win Iowa and New Hampshire and having a big win in South Carolina to losing Iowa, winning New Hampshire, and losing South Carolina. Will there be some panic?
3) Ron Paul - Ron Paul has taken it easy with South Carolina, a state he did not expect to do well in. As has always been the case, he does better than the polls show to get a strong third.
4) Rick Santorum – Another weak showing but in a state he should have been able to do well in. The social conservatives are lining up behind Newt and Santorum might as well withdraw from the race… but he won’t.
