2 New SC Polls show Romney ahead

By: Ender (Diary)  |  January 13th, 2012 at 11:34 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

New Rasmussen that came out today has:

28% Romney
21% Gingrich
16% Santorum
16% Paul
6% Perry
5% Huntsman

And new ARG has:

29% Romney
25% Gingrich
20% Paul
9% Perry
7% Santorum
1% Huntsman

The polls are similar in the 1-2-3 spots with Gingrich slightly behind, though more behind than some of previous polls, specifically Insider Advantage poll where Romney was only up by 2. Also Santorum and Perry are unstable depending on the poll, though no real surge is evident for Santorum. Huntsman also made no headway.

If after the initial negative anti-Romney attacks have not dented his lead, I am a bit more confident in his ability to fend off the Bain attacks and win SC. As a Romney supporter and a pro-capitalist conservative I fully agree with Rush Limbaugh, that attacks on Romney should be coming from the Right. Before Gingrich started the leftist attacks, I liked the man all the way from 1994. But he left a bad taste in my mouth.

    Newt’s attack is simply not an attack from the left. It is pure and simple an attack on Romney’s character and desion making in a very few instances where it appears to have been lacking. Mitt chose ro make his experience at Bain part of the debate. He is freely able to challenge Newt on his charcter with the ethics hearings and fannie/freddie….Newt doing the same thing is no different.

    A Big Mistake.

    Romney’s record at Bain is NOT about job creation. If it had been, the Romney camp would have made the case by now. Anything they offer from now on will be heard as mere spin.

    “Job Creation” and who can do it will be the theme on voters minds this November.

    Perry has the strongest record.

    and for PERRY to keep up the heat!!

    Romney needs to be called out on this.
    He’s still making big bucks from all this, while paying only 15% taxes on it.

    As one commenter said, This probably won?t do much to bolster Romney?s ?man of the people? credentials.

    Romney is the one leaving a bad taste in MY mouth! Honestly, there are two people I can stand to see their face on my TV screen…….Debbie Schulz (whatever her name is), Democratic Chair person……….and the simpering smile of Mitt Romney.

    And, here’s the story of JUST one of his raids!
