Question of the Day: Beating Romney

Who has the best chance to beat Romney?

After securing a narrow victory in Iowa and running away with a win in the New Hampshire primary last night, Mitt Romney is leading the pack in the republican primaries.

South Carolina, though, will pose formidable test, according to the Boston Herald.

The Romney victory (in New Hampshire) is going to last about one day because the new battleground in South Carolina is so different,” New York University politics professor Mitchell Moss told the Herald. “He should enjoy (the victory) because Gov. Romney is going to find out that South Carolina is not the same as New Hampshire. South Carolina enjoys confrontational politics. This is a state where the rules of the game are very different.”

Others, however, feel it may be smooth sailing for the former Massachusetts Governor.

“He has the endorsement of the sitting governor in South Carolina and she has a machine that is important to be able to tap into to get those voters out to the polls,” Bridgewater State University Professor George Serra told the Herald. “The wind will certainly be at his back.”
