(25,406 posts)but I feel it's too little, too late. He'd have to pretty much at least tie Mittens for first place in order to have a snowball's chance in hell of getting the money and support he would need to keep going after South Carolina and Florida, where he's going to be stuck at absolutely no higher than fourth or fifth place.
Mittens has NH locked up, I just don't see one of the fundie-favored anti-Romneys breaking out of the pack, unless the Santorum surge continues. There's been some negative stuff out on him for about the last week, and I imagine it might discourage the tea partiers. While I disagree that if Mitt wins SC and does well in FL (with his 30% ceiling) that it's "game over", it still doesn't seem like a clear path for a single anti-Romney to consolidate support and run with this thing.
