It's always good to hear from someone who actually lives in the area. Like you, I believe that Romney's religion was probably his biggest problem in S.C. Religion was likely to some extent a problem for Santorum too.
It is a real shame that even a portion of the US electorate is so preoccupied with religious labels. I would personally like to see religion left out of the political discourse altogether unless one's religious practices have actually caused or inspired harm to others.
I also wonder what Newt's camp promised Perry for his withdrawal just before the primary. He'd already stayed in long enough to compete even if he wasn't among the top contenders and, while I believe that Newt would still have carried the day, the spread may have been less without the switches from Perry.
But I'm loving the disarray among the GOPers. The real winner is President Obama. May that continue!
