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

[Kaosinla]

No fan of Ron Pual here...but he needs to stick out for Virginia...that’s the only time you’ll ever hear me say vote for Paul. :)

[Marcella]

I haven’t yet heard Santorum say he’s going on to Florida?

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Drudge is sure not giving Newt credit..that picture is awful!

[Reagan69]

SANTORUM
,
IS
.

JUST
.
TOO
.
BOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRING.

[Marcella]

OK, he’s going on.

[Windcatcher]

I’ve been quietly predicting that for some time. Santorum could pull in the industrial states.

Listening to Willard. The main difference between the two candidates is Willard just strings together one political platitude after another. Newt OTOH takes Cain's approach. He states the problem, lays out the solution one step at a time and then concludes with how it will better the people. People wants solutions NOT platitudes.

Soooooo true.

Either Rick reads this thread, or his staffers do, and smacked him upside the head and told him how many people he was losing, for acting such a fool after the last debate!

[Leep]

OK,he’s staying. I think its a good thing.

[greyfoxx39]

Well, it’s a tweet making the rounds..time will tell.

[Pravious]

“Drudge is sure not giving Newt credit..that picture is awful!”

Drudge has done everything possible to put down Newt and promote Romney.

Along with many other major players in the “conservative” media.

[BagCamAddict]

THANK YOU RICK PERRY. You are a class act.

Could not agree more.

[don-o]

He went after Newt in the last debate like a hungry shark.

He was / is desperate. No traction. Even this speech - he sounds unfocussed.

[Gator113]

Cool... thanks. ;>)

[exit82]

“This POS, the lying corrupt bastard from............” LOL!!!!

I want to vote for you!

[Spunky]

Romney did very quickly.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

when he started to list the states, I shuddered with anxiety that he might go into the Dean scream!..ha.

[Sybeck1]

Does anyone know the percentage Bush won SC in 2000?

[Reagan69]

Here is a great resource for states, delegates, dates of primaries, etc:
