The rollercoaster ride to the Republican presidential nomination continued on Jan. 21 with Newt Gingrich comfortably defeating Mitt Romney in the South Carolina primary. With Iowa officially declaring Rick Santorum the winner in their caucuses and Mitt Romney taking the New Hampshire primary, what many expected to be Romney’s smooth road to the nomination has been anything but smooth.
Florida holds the next primary on Jan. 31, where current polls show Romney over Gingrich by 10 points. However, as South Carolina showed us, this race is still fluid. AGC PAC continues to closely monitor the presidential as well as the congressional races for construction-friendly candidates.
