Rick Santorum is definitely getting a great bounce from the Iowa Caucuses.  He took in one million dollars in just ONE DAY this week, and is rigorously ramping up a New Hampshire ground effort.  Since Tuesday 25 county chairs have signed on to his spitfire campaign and no one should count him out in the next early states.

Meanwhile Rasmussen reports numbers for Mitt Romney that look daunting for a Friday, but with not just one, but TWO debates ahead this weekend, anything could happen:

National numbers look like this:

 The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken the night after the caucuses, shows Romney again in first place with support from 29% of Likely Republican Primary Voters, followed by Santorum with 21%. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, is third with 16%. Texas Congressman Ron Paul, the third place finisher in Iowa, picks up 12% of the vote.

New Hampshire:

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary Voters in New Hampshire finds Romney earning 42% support. Texas Congressman Ron Paul is a distant second with 18% of the vote, followed by former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, hot off his photo finish with Romney in the Iowa caucuses, at 13%. Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, who has focused his campaign efforts on New Hampshire, captures 12% support.

 

South Carolina:    

Romney 27, Santorum 24, Gingrich 18, Paul 11, Perry 5,  Huntsman 12

This just in for South Carolina from  Time/CNN/ORC:  Romney:  37   Santorum  : 19  Gingrich : 18  Paul : 12  Perry: 5  Huntsman: 1
