PPP Polling: Gingrich and Palin on top in North Carolina

In North Carolina we see a good old log jam with Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin tied at 21%, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney tied at 18%, and the rest of the Republicans combining for 12%. This is another state where Romney's conservative problem rears its head. He has a strong advantage with moderates as 30% of them say he's their top choice with none of the other Republicans rising above 15%. But he posts yet another fourth place finish with conservatives at only 14%, with Palin at 24%, Gingrich at 22%, and Huckabee at only 19%.
Favorable/Unfavorable/Not Sure:

Newt Gingrich 61/21/18
Mike Huckabee 71/16/13
Sarah Palin 67/25/8
Mitt Romney 57/22/21

Newt Gingrich 21

Happy to see Mitt move up 8 points and Huckabee down 7,

Saying that, HOW can anyone support Gingrich with all his baggage?

With essentially only one company doing state polling, and with not having regional crosstabs, it is difficult to know exactly what is going on, but looking at all polling, I'd say Mr. Huckabee has about 29% of the delegates, Mr. Romney 27%, Mrs. Palin 26%, Mr. Gingrich 12% and Dr. Paul 4%. Of course, my model is not scientific and the information I have is not apples to apples so more data is needed.
