"Well, Greta, you KNOW those South Carolinians! They're just a bunch of unsophisticated hicks! Besides, South Carolina doesn't amount to a hill of beans anyway!"
But, but, but... “Newt can’t win the evangelical vote. Newt can win the independent vote. Newt doesn’t have a prayer of winning the women’s vote. New cannot defeat Romney much less Obama. Newt has too much baggage to win any vote!! Newt is unelectable!! Besides, Romney has it all sewn up. Newt is the inevitable winner. We the elite have declared it so.”
Then a funny thing happened on the way to the coronation. Newt won every demographic category in South Carolina except “liberal” which went with Romney. Wonder why?
Go, Newt!!
Hmmm, big mystery to me! /sarc Of course, we're the unwashed who let mere facts color our thinking. We should just do what our "leaders" tell us. How dare we think for ourselves! /SARC
Time for a new tag...
The GOP establishment and the lame-stream media have been harping about the “fact” that a hardline Conservative like Newt cannot win the election due to the need for appeasing the independent voters. If the liberals and independents make up @ 60% but only have roughly 20-22% of their base (the amount that usually votes in a general election) show up at the polls, while the Conservatives manage to hype up their 40% base and get 40-45% of them to vote, it will be a landslide win for Newt and the Conservatives.
