Why did Gingrich win in SC?

Precisely, if the issue was electability, why did Romney not win? (Although some are saying Romney actually isn't all that electable). If the issue was conservatism, why did Santorum/Paul not win? Do you guys think Gingrich's momentum will carry him forward, in particular, to Florida? And if a two-man race does emerge, does a long race hurt the Republicans' chances of beating Obama in November?
What are your thoughts?

Re: Why did Gingrich win in SC?
I think Gingrich won in SC because records don't matter in elections anymore, we saw that in 2008.What matters is being able to get the average American charged up, and Newt is hitting his stride in that respect. Perhaps Romney was the "shoe in" early on because the people paying attention at that time cared about record, but as more people get involved it will be harder for Romney to stay at the front.
In my opinion, "conservative issues" will be important in 2 years when the mid-terms are up. For now, the focus is just getting a convincing candidate who isn't bent on a socialist utopian view of the world into the White House.
