Despite the clock ticking down on the Jan. 21 GOP primary in South Carolina, it's a rather slow week on the Palmetto State campaign trail.

The only candidates with announced events this week are former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who are both betting big on the state for an early victory. Both candidates are hoping to sell a lot of books as well.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who looked at the start like he would have a strong chance in South Carolina before flubbing a couple of early debates, will be represented this week by his wife, Anita.
