the thing that stood out to me is that Newt is crushing Romney among blacks 51-1.
One of the very underreported things so far has been the Mormon Church’s history with blacks. It’s not too pretty. I’m sure many blacks are aware of it...and possibly looking to let Romney know how they feel.
I wonder if that has anything to do with Newt’s huge lead and the obvious distaste for Romney.
Be interesting to see if the media catches on to this and starts mentioning it.
If I’m Newt I look at this, and I really go hard after endorsements from Rep Scott, Rep West, and Herman Cain. One or more of them could prove decisive.
Would be ironic if Newt ends up winning SC due to huge #s in the black vote.
I think it’s time for Newt to start playing the race card if he wants to win.
I'd be surprised if 51 blacks in the entire state voted for Gingrich or Romney. Someone must be polling blacks for their perspective on the Republican candidates - not their voting preferences. 90+% of that vote will go to Obama, guaranteed.

You might be surprised. The Mormon world might as well be on the other side of the planet, as far as most blacks are concerned. I grew up in that community, and had absolutely no awareness of Mormons, until I was fully grown. Even then, I was in my 40s before I even knew a little bit about their history or religion.
And I'm a guy that reads.

LOL, this post tops it all. Of sample of 22 blacks, incorrectly tabulated, you are ready to indict, convict and sentence a man based on a leftist concept of collective guilt.
First, it is 1.7% to 50.9 If you round, you round honestly. Rounding 1.7% to nearest integer, as you did, I get 2, and that is double of 1 that you get.
Next, in a sample of 22 blacks, 1 person counts as 4.55%. So there is no such thing as 1.7%. Unless the polling company was counting the sole black supporter of Romney as 1/3 of a person. That;s not even 3/5 that the slaves counted for...
Can we have a little more honesty, please?
