Unless Romney or Santorum has a surprising result the status quo is unshooken
Plenty of other things that could happen.
If Huntsman does well, he stays in the race. I don't think he has a chance at getting the nomination overall, but it'll give him a media boost and funding and draw off votes from others.
Plus, no matter how Romney, Paul, Santorum, Huntsman or Gingrich do, the media will find some angle to spin it one way or the other, and seeing as the primary process is heavily based on perception rather than reality, it could have a big impact.
Sure, South Carolina will almost definitely be way more important. But it's not like we can say "oh, NH primary, I'll turn off the news for a week and nothing will change".
