In an article written by Chris Cillizza on January 12, 2012, he talks about the next caucus in South Carolina and a few reasons why he might have a bit of trouble winning this one. Mitt Romney is coming off two straight wins in Iowa and New Hampshire and has basically established himself as the leader of the pack. South Carolina voters are less likely to vote for Romney because they are completely different from the first two states he won at. For example, a poll showed that a whopping 57 percent of Iowa Republicans that went to the caucus considered themselves either born again or evangelicals and in New Hampshire there were just 22 percent. In the next state he will be going to, South Carolina, there are a total of 60 percent that consider themselves either born again or evangelicals. The reason I state this statistics is because of the fact that Romney has a lot of trouble winning over them. The other factor to this is that South Carolina is way more populated than Iowa with means he would probably not receive a substantial amount of votes. The bottom line to this is that Mitt Romney is not going to just walk away with the win so easily this time around.
