Romney gains South Carolina's support!

Click here for the article, "Mitt Romney tries to build momentum with Nikki Haley endorsement" by Philip Rucker

Mitt Romney is trying really hard to beat out Newt Gingrich in the polls. He getting there by gaining governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley's endorsement. This is the most critical period for the candidates. Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry toured around Iowa, while Romney visited South Carolina. Gingrich has been eyeing SC for a while and was even in the lead, but with Haley's support Romney might beat out Gingrich. This move shows that Romney if fighting for this nomination. I think this is a very positive thing, and maybe some undecided voters will notice this. Haley said that she's backing up Romney because he's grown a lot politically since 2008, she also added, "He’s no longer a candidate that’s trying to win. He’s already a leader that knows what he wants to do the first day he gets into office.” That statement means a lot if Romney wants to become president! Voters can definitely be influenced by what Gov. Haley said about Romney. Rucker, the author of this article, presents all the information while staying fully neutral which can be very hard sometimes. 


I think that this article talked more about the advertising part of the campaign as opposed to what the candidates will do for the people of the United States. I wish the article talked more about what what Romney's plans if he does get elected.
