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. May also explain Newt’s appearance with Clyburn.
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.
#67 Interesting stats.
I too was astonished at the huge spread for Newt among blacks vs Romney and wondered about the reasons, then I realized it included a whopping total of 22 of them surveyed. Can’t safely draw any conclusions there.
More on the black support for Gingrich: overheard on Mike Gallagher today an interview with one J.C. Watts. He has endorsed Newt and is in fact in SC right now campaigning for him. There you go.
