FOX News calls it for NEWT!! WOO HOO!!
Just rechecked, Mitt slipped back a full point...
.
Hope he picks a good VP like West. They would be unbeatable. Not someone unknown. Someone strong.
That’s why you keep a rubber ball nearby at all times. Everything else is risking your tv.
LMAO @ that jerk.
Dam Hobbits. Stealing my election.
Faux News in shock mode. Brit Hume blinking back tears. Rove back pedaling like crazy. Air heads babbling away. All spin, all the time.
Am forced to hear CNN but they are saying there are still undecided voters in Florida who are waiting to see who wins S.C. and Florida has early voting ta boot.....my gosh how can someone be undecided..what do they need a NEWTRON bomb under their seats....good grief what idiots!
Rove has lost what little color he has out of his face. He’s backpedaling and spinning like crazy. The GOP establishment is apoplectic by the fact that 8 out of 10 SC Tea Party voters are supporting Newt. This is the opening shot of the rebellion. The question going forward is, who will trash Newt more- the GOP or the dems? Now, on to Florida.
Newt takes SC! What fantastic news!
After New Hampshire, intrade had about a 90% likelihood of Romney winning the nomination, with everyone else in the single digits.
Right now? Mitt has dropped all the way down to 66%, with Newt rising to 27%, Paul at 4%, and Santorum <1%.
If conservatives keep rallying around Newt, we CAN stop Romney. On to Florida!
Amazing! Stunning! Newt won despite intense media bashing, mega bucks spent by Romney, the Haley endorsement. Wonder how Ole Dickie Morris feels now? maybe he is biting his toenails off. Thank YOU S.C.!!! now lets take Fla! Newt is a true conservative hero and they are a rare species these days.
I’ll strongly support whoever our candidate is but I really have my doubts on Newt in the general. I can see US Magazine re-running that cover of the Obamas “WHY HE LOVES HER” (remember right before or after the hit piece cover against Sarah?). They will have one of Newt with surrounding pictures of angry wifes. He just isn’t going to get the “moderate” womens vote. His debate performances have been great (especially taking on the media) but it’s all preaching to the choir. Sorry folks but those polls showing this as a majority conservative country are bull. I’ll happily eat crow if I’m wrong!
!Your assessment is correct, we are pissed! We have watched the Establishment Republicans and the Media dictate to us about our candidates. We originally had the straw poll and elected Cain. We also watched as they took him out. They have taken them all out. Newt, because of his debating skills and his bulldog attitude has given him the momentum to come to Florida. In any case it has the Elitists crapping their pants and I for one am enjoying this moment!
I've watched him since back in his ABC days and I have never seen him so dazed.
Reminds me of 1980 when they called the election for Reagan before the polls closed in California.
Landslides are easy to project from exit polls.
Maybe Faux will get with the program after this win by Newt...I haven’t listened to them for awhile...right now viewing CNN because I want to hear Newt’s speech.
Go Newt Go....and let the pundits wet their pants!
Spin. Hume played up the point that Romney has came in on top or near the top in all three states. Implying Romney is the still the front runner and the guy to beat.
