VIDEO: With S.C. Primary looming, voters have much to think about

The Takeaway

Republicans in South Carolina go to the polls on Saturday and, between now and then, they've got a lot to think about.

There's Rick Perry dropping out of the race. There's Newt Gingrich's ex-wife's explosive comments in an interview with ABC News. There's Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital, and his tax rate that's lower than what's paid by many Americans, despite making hundreds of thousands of dollars. Plus, Rick Santorum is hoping to pick up a little bit of momentum with his narrow defeat-turned-victory in Iowa.

Polls are open all day Saturday.

All of that will have to be considered in a state that's far more conservative and quite different economically than either of the states that have gone before it — Iowa and New Hampshire — in the political nominating contest.
