Gingrich Wins in South Carolina

Newt Gingrich overwhelmingly won the South Carolina Republican presidential primary, according to projections by most of the television networks.

By any measure, it’s a devastating loss to frontrunner Mitt Romney who once led in the polls by double digits hoped to finish off his rivals in the Palmetto State. If Gingrich can keep his momentum going into Florida’s primary at the end of the month — a big question — the GOP race could once again be up for grabs.
