And here's the latest at CNN, "Gingrich has momentum as South Carolina votes":
Columbia, South Carolina (CNN) -- Newt Gingrich had all the momentum on Saturday as South Carolinians were voting in their state's Republican primary.See also Nate Silver, "Gingrich Is Well-Positioned as South Carolina Votes."
A poll released Saturday morning showed the former House speaker's surge over the last week carrying him past Mitt Romney, who had been the front-runner in the state all month. The American Research Group poll shows Gingrich leading Romney by a 40%-26% margin. ARG's last poll, released Thursday, showed a virtual tie with Gingrich at 33% and Romney at 32%.
Two weeks ago, Romney's campaign was looking at two wins under its belt, a big lead in South Carolina, a bigger lead in Florida and the possibility of a clear path to the Republican presidential nomination.
And at Althouse, "I think Gingrich is going to win in South Carolina."
