Romney finally breaks that 25% barrier


An Ipsos poll, commissioned by the Left leaning Reuters, shows Romney with 37% of the South Carolinian vote,  Ron Paul and Rick Santorum tied for second at 16% and Gingrich with 12%. 

Before this poll was taken,  Gingrich was running a strong 2nd, but his anti-capitalism rant against Romney has taken him completely out of contention.  

This poll was posted on Saturday  around 6:30 est,  after the Huckabee forum.  The South Carolina primary vote is on the 24th,  a week and a half from now.

I say "finally" in my headline,  but, of course,  Romney won New Hampshire with nearly 40% of that vote.  Another similar victory, in South Carolina,  would put him very much in the drivers seat.  It is time for the Governor to start talking about a VP choice.  

I have reason to believe that he is looking at Kelly Ayotte,  a first term US Senator from New Hampshire and a TEA party candidate in 2010.
