Agree. In particular, keeping it relatively close will make a big difference in the delegate count.
The South Carolina GOP just released their totals:
With 100% of 2,117 precincts reporting, the statewide primary winner was Newt Gingrich. Gingrich won 11 at-large delegates with 40.43% of the vote. Mitt Romney finished second, winning no at large delegates with 27.85% of the vote.
Gingrich also won two delegates in each of the following Congressional districts: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th (for a total of 12 delegates). Romney won two delegates by winning the first Congressional district.
The total allocation of South Carolinas 25 delegates is as follows: Newt Gingrich 23, Mitt Romney 2.
So long as Newt gets a decent share of Florida's delegates, the totals are going to remain close.
Anyone have an updated delegate count?
