“Speaker Gingrich won a hard-fought victory in South Carolina. He deserves great praise,” said Chairman Connelly.

“Small states still matter. Each campaign literally met thousands of voters, and I’m proud of our activists and party leaders for their enthusiasm. After a tough battle, South Carolina Republicans are now united to defeat Barack Obama.

“The 2012 primary brought huge positive attention to our state. In a tough economic climate, millions of out of state dollars boosted our economy and created many jobs. Thank you, South Carolina,” concluded Connelly.
