Nate Silver: Georgetown County Shows Trouble for Romney

In 2008, Georgetown County, which is just southwest of Myrtle Beach, was one of Mr. Romney's best in South Carolina. He won 20 percent of the vote there, more than in all but two other counties in the state.

Tonight, Georgetown County is ahead of most others in the state, with about 1,500 votes already having been reported between 8 precincts. Mr. Romney got 34 percent of those votes, an improvement from his showing in 2008. But Mr. Gingrich is doing better than Mr. Romney there, with 43 percent.
