By winning the Iowa and New Hampshire nominating contests, Mitt Romney not only made history on Tuesday night as a non-incumbent Republican presidential candidate, but he is now the prohibitive favorite to win the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.
If Romney can claim victory in the South Carolina and Florida contests, he will likely become the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. Therefore, if the other candidates in the field want to slow down Romney's momentum, they will likely have to do it in South Carolina, which has a fairly conservative electorate and is relatively uncharted territory for Romney.
