Romney at 8% nationally shows he has little support outside of Iowa and New Hampshire. He is in single digits in South Carolina and Florida, showing that southern evangelical conservatives are not going to vote for a Mormon. It just won't happen.
The real GOP battle is between Guiliani and Thompson. Regardless of how well Romney does in Iowa and NH, he will fade *fast* thereafter.
