Since 1980, when Ronald Reagan won the first South Carolina Republican primary, every GOP candidate who has won in this Southern state of fewer than 5 million people has gone on to win the Republican presidential nomination. State party officials are fond of saying the road to the White House passes straight through South Carolina.

Gingrich will be in Tampa, Fla. on Monday as he looks to the Florida primary on Jan. 31.
