Newt still near 20%? What the hell?

[big bad fab]

Just enough to hurt Santorum, eh?
I guess some Rick supporters should take a car and bump violently into this "Grinch"...
Well, if Mitt even win NC...

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

I reallyyyy hope Rick can win my homestate! please please please lol

[CatoMinor]

I wonder how much of Paul's 13% is coming from NC-03

[J. J.]

If this was anyone but PPP, I'd say it was a bad poll.

[Niemeyerite]

This means that Gingrich should drop out (but we already knew it).

Let's not forget, NC borders SC, maybe Gingrich has some hope?

Yeah, maybe. Oh...it's not January anymore. Nevermind.

In LA, in the exit poll, more Gingrich voters by a clear margin chose Romney as their second choice rather than Santorum. I don't know if that is the case in NC, but for those who think that Newt getting out might help Santorum's percentage versus Romney's, perhaps they should not be quite so sure of that. My guess, is that most of Newt's anyone but Mittens voters have already defected to Santorum. The balance are more ambivalent.

Not surprised. This is the southern state that always had more potential for Romney than any of the others (excluding VA and FL obviously).

Pretty sure PPP tweeted that Santorum picks up a big lead when Newt drops out.

According to the exit poll in Louisiana, Santorum would have won by 25 points if it was just him and Romney.

Santorum would be ahead 43-37 if Gingrich dropped out.

Just so you guys don't think I was pulling something out of my ass as an exercise in "trolling," this was what I was relying upon.  About 60% of the Newt vote would have gone to Mittens in LA. Yes, I know, small subsample, and large margin of error, but not all that small, and a 20% margin can suck up a lot of sample error.
