It’s on to Florida now. Make it two in a row down South!
Hope he picks a good VP like West. They would be unbeatable. Not someone unknown. Someone strong.
Dam Hobbits. Stealing my election.
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!
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!
Boy, is Brit Hume in the tank for Romney. He was just on Fox making every excuse in the book for Romney. First, he said that the polls that said that Newt could beat Obama, he qualified it by saying that all that meant was that Newt could beat Obama in the DEBATES. Then he said that there is only one candidate that has done well in all 3 primaries, and that is Romney. Every time Brett Baird spoke up for Newt, Hume would say something in favor of Romney.
Two words - Romney Sucks
Yeah! Now since Iowa went to Rick, lets see the Mitt start sweating a bit. The guy just looks like such a Teflon used car salesman every time I see him amongst the crowds.
Are you: Total Paul Gingrich Romney Santorum Male 16% 41% 27% 14% Female 13% 36% 30% 19%
WOO-HOO GO NEWT!!!
This is outstanding!
Santorum can help seal the deal, now.
Onward and upward!
God bless Newt, Lord hear Our Prayer.
Great news, the Establishment has been stopped in it’s tracks!
Newt 37%
Mitt 32%
Woot!!! Thank you, South Carolina!!! Newt all the way to the White House. Thank you Sarah Palin and Governor Perry.
