After supporting John Huntsman, the Republican Party is likely to be debate as an opportunity to participate in the field of exclusion Mitt Romney

Freshly cut field of Republican presidential aspirants five meets on Monday in a debate in South Carolina that gives the first runner, Mitt Romney, the opponents a chance to disrupt the growth momentum of late.

The debate comes just hours after former Utah Gov. John Huntsman withdrew from the race in 2012, and endorsed the Republican Romney, and strengthen the unity of the former governor of Massachusetts to win his party's nomination. Romney won the nomination of the first two contests of Iowa and New Hampshire this month.

It also provides Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, an important step in its quest to become a superior alternative to the more moderate conservatives Romney.

Santorum, a member of the Senate, former U.S. Pennsylvania, received valuable support in this effort over the weekend when a group of 150 religious leaders, conservatives, social, and agreed to unite behind his candidacy in an attempt to stop Romney.

Discussion is the first of two this week in South Carolina, where Romney's victory in the primaries on Saturday can be placed almost in a certain way to secure the right to challenge President Barack Obama in the November election.

Opinion polls show that Romney is strong in South Carolina more than Gingrich, former president of U. S. House of Representatives to speak in the debate. Began less than 48 hours before the Republican state of South Carolina and other discussion was held in Charleston on Thursday, to vote.
