Romney camp still strong

People are starting to filter out and its more relaxed and quiet than it was about an hour ago.

Nathan Balentine, a graduate of USC in ‘92, wasn’t upset about the McCain victory.

“McCain had to win S.C. like Romney had to win Michigan. Its now a question of who has the right message for America,” Balentine said.

Ben Ginsford, a Columbia resident and volunteer with the Romney campaign, said the race was expected to be a close one.

“From our perspective South Carolina was a death match between McCain and Huckabee. We won in Nevada and we are strong going into Florida,” Ginsford said.

Terry Sullivan, a Columbia resident, said Romney is still doing well nationally.

“McCain’s win gives him a few more delegates but Romney still has more.”
