Romney Hobbles Through Debate Ahead of South Carolina Primary.

'Mitt Romney is still the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, but if he wins the South Carolina primary on Saturday, he might be limping across the finish line.

Romney turned in another uneven debate performance at best on Thursday, failing to keep main rival Newt Gingrich at bay and again making remarks that suggest he is out of touch.

The debate came after a bad few days, with his poll numbers dropping in South Carolina and Texas Governor Rick Perry endorsing Gingrich after giving up his own presidential bid.'

I do not understand the concern about this fellow. He is rightly despised not just by the left, but the right as well. He is completely unprincipled.
