Gingrich wins South Carolina

Fox News projects that Newt Gingrich will win the South Carolina primary, with Mitt Romney second and Rick Santorum and Ron Paul fighting it out for third. This suggests a result with Gingrich leading Romney by at least the 5% margin he had over him in the realclearpolitics.com average of recent polls, and probably more, since the networks would be unwilling to project a winner so quickly if the exit poll indicated a closer result.
