Thing the poll numbers are why Newt backed off a little- he doesn’thave to go wholly negative now— let the SuperPac do it.
Hammer on “crony capitalism” - and wait for Sarah Palin to show up— which I think she will. Then, it’s game, set -match.
Excellent news. Newt has really cut into Romneys lead. I think by election day Newt will be ahead. GO NEWT!
Romney’s day just got better. John Bolton has endorsed Romney. He announced on Greta.....damn.
Bolton endorsed McCain in ‘08, so not very surprising.
I would have expected Perry to be polling better..
Haven’t been around SC since the late 70’s- 80. Went back to Newport News about 5 years ago and was amazed at how the whole area has grown- we used to slide down to Hatteras a little off-season and had the place to ourselves , it seemed.
Been a big growth state from what I hear so I guess demographics have changed.
Yay Newt! Seems the stuff coming out on Romney is starting to make a dent.
It’s going to be Gingrich vs. Romney
The real election starts now. Santorum distant 3rd.
“Romney’s 23 percent and Gingrich’s 21 fall within the 3.6 percent margin of error. Rick Santorum, who came in second in the Iowa caucus is in third place in South Carolina with 14 percent”
Go Newt Go!
The big road trips were to Myrtle Beach, I should have added...
I’ll finish my thoughts, next time before I post!
It did seem like a Dixie Tobacco Road continuum back then.
Gator, don’t think it matters. 1. Can Newt tap into 2010 anti-establishment tea party; 2. will Gov. Palin come on board.
That’s what Newt’s trying to do— and if he does— he’ll win.
“This is not good news for Mitt Romney,” said Towery, who chaired several of Gingrich’s congressional campaigns before becoming a non-partisan pollster. “There is no other way to put it. This means it is a dead-even race. South Carolinians couldn’t care less about New Hampshire or Iowa.”
“Gingrich represented the western part of neighboring Georgia for 20 years in Congress and apparently knows how to appeal to southern voters who tend to be more concerned about social issues than those in New Hampshire.”
Southerners don’t do Iowa and New Hampshire, especially NH.
Yay Newt! Seems the stuff coming out on Romney is starting to make a dent.

Nay, you evidently didn’t get the memo from the GOP “conservative” commentators— that backfired. -:)
I think the Republican elite are getting nervous, so they are pulling out all the stops early. It still makes me sick.
This is great news considering all of the BIG pundits are telling Newt to get out of the race.
I would like Perry to be polling higher, but I am happy just to see the “experts” get kicked square in the nuts.
I'm glad I was at a stop light at the time. I was laughing so hard, I might have wrecked.
I hope you’re right. It’s all beginning to seem very surreal.
After watching the Bain video, Romney did go in and manufactures stability of a company, (more than once) then flushed the companies making millions along with his other Latin investors. He knew when to buy and when to dump. I cannot believe Hannity and Rush do not think that this kind of business buy and dump and make tons of money is not important. (profiteering comes to mind- did he have friends on the inside of Wall Street? I see why Gov. Palin said this should be talked about before the general and ask Mitt to show the proof of the jobs that he created. He cut a number of jobs and it was not for reconstructing a company.
LOL...Carolina corn is better than Iowa and Midwesterners don’t know the first thing about BBQ lmao.
...and NH seafood is bland compared to Low Country shrimp and Gumbo...
Bring on the South.
Romney is dead meat.
Any idea what the numbers were 2-3 weeks ago? It’s all about trends, and I would have expected Newt to be up about 7-10 over Romney per-New Hampshire.
He will be...Santorum will fade
Despite massive hits on Gingrich he is a survivor.
He is the toughest to defeat cutthroat Romney.
