FR's eyes on the nation | today | me

It's 0930 EST and there's nothing in the sidebar that looks like a live thread for the SC primary . . .

[Las Vegas Ron]

Ridiculous.

He just said his numbers are growing, has 4 time more than last year.

Dude is delusional!

[tcrlaf]

Did Ron Paul Just basicly say HE’S WITHDRAWING????

[Cboldt]

-- CNN John King - Romney has Jeb Bush endorsement "Wrapped Up" in Florida. --

Heh. That and five bucks will get you a Starbuck$ coffee.

I think it would be great if a Jeb Bush endorsement was a negative.

[jeltz25]

Sarah should get on the phone with CNN tonight and name her terms.

To cut her off for Ron Paul?

That’s it.

She should copy Living Dead and say “Newt came to SC to do 2 things, chew bubblegum and kick Mitt Romney’s ass. Tonight it looks like he’s all out of bubble gum”

[upchuck]

Has Mitt congratulated Newt? Did I miss that?

I don't know. I don't watch television so if it happened I may not know about it. It's still pretty early in the evening for a concession speech. Less than 5% of precincts have reported.

[C210N]

Newt wasn't thinking big enough when he suggested two others exit. Maybe now he'll suggest three depart!

(that's tongue-in-cheek, as he will think it, and I'm thinking it, but saying it would be obviously quite arrogant)

The numbers are improving, courtesy of the New York Times South Carolina primary information:

I agree wholeheartedly. Amen and Amen.

[tomkat]

There will always be hope for the republic as long as there is a South Carolina....

Amen

Fort Sumter .. perhaps my next out-of-state vacation destination !

[Interesting Times]

CNN John King - Romney has Jeb Bush endorsement “Wrapped Up” in Florida.

That may not matter much. The GOP rank and file isn't all that interested in marching to the beat of the Party leaders.

[Shortstop7]

It’s a stomping! Yeehaw!

[mojitojoe]

Hi neighbor!! I’m doing my best too. Hopefully we can pull it off!

[MagUSNRET]

Ron Paul puts the “F” in nuts!

[Leep]

Iran is excited for Pual.

[upchuck]

Interesting numbers but screw the NYT. Get the numbers first from the horse's mouth.

[BenKenobi]

Spartanburg flipped back again.

Still for Romney:

Charleston, Richland, Kershaw, Newberry, Fairfield, Clarendon.

Everywhere else looks like it’s for Newt.

Only Richland and Charleston are solid Romney.

Lexington, Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, Oconee, Bamberg, Colleton, Marion and Lee counties are still competitive.

York is a contest between Newt and Santorum, Santorum is at 28 there.

[freepersup]

>>> Who are the 44 noodleheads that voted for Gary Johnson?... <<<

Most likely the folks with e-z wider ‘rolling papers’ in their hip pockets. Weed smokers. Potheads. Cheech and Chong.

;o)

[Revolting cat!]

Wait till they get to counting Gary counties, you’re in for a shock!

[BenKenobi]

Uh, my boy is Santorum.

I hate Romney and I’m pleased to see him lose in South Carolina.

[rodguy911]

I’m thinking if Newt wins Fla. he could go all the way.
