Poll's Numbers and Tonight's Debate


Here's another report from Nate Silver's blog wherein he finds that Gingrich and Romney are at a tie for votes in South Carolina. Throughout the post, Silver points out that the last few days in the South Carolina primary made Perry and Huntsman drop out of the race, made candidates attack Romney's history with Bain, and changed the results of Iowa's Caucus--favoring Santorum, thus, affecting the dynamics of the G.O.P. Race. It is for this reason that Silver claims that his prediction for the race is unstable, yet, he still claims that there is Gingrich momentum.

Today's debate (on CNN) should change the playing field in the GOP race, especially, because Silver has both Gingrich and Romney at a tie for South Carolina's primary. Perhaps, after Saturday's debate, Jeff Smith will have a "new president" as an inspiration for a new book.
