For the record:
As , former House Speaker Newt Gingrich won today's Republican presidential primary in South Carolina.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney appears to have finished second.
In third: former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
That puts Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) in fourth.
So the race continues, with Florida's Jan. 31 primary as the next major contest.
