President Newt?

For a few days it looked as though Mitt Romney might have it in the bag. Then South Carolina backed Newt Gingrich.

This doesn't mean Romney won't end up with the nomination or for that matter that Gingrich will. The Republican primary voters of South Carolina were never going to be wildly keen on Romney. But he needs to carry that constituency to become the Republican contender. After having looked like a sure thing, he now only has won New Hampshire after a recount of the Iowa caucus.

Of course, all the challenges face a very big question: can they beat Obama?
