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

Get over what?

You think I was cheering for Mittens?

Just posting the numbers as they come in.

[BenKenobi]

They’ve got the county breakdowns. I don’t seem them elsewhere.

I had just graduated from college and almost voted for him (dumbass that I was), but when I stepped into the booth I voted for Reagan.

Talk about finding a Grant in your wallet.

[BenKenobi]

Yeah, there’s only 6 still outstanding, Cherokee, Union, McCormick, Aiken, Horry and Calhoun

Huh? I live in FL and we have already heard that Jeb Bush was endorsing Romney. Maybe he hadn’t made it official yet and is now backing off? Or maybe this was a Romney “leak” to make himself look inevitable?

Florida is a closed primary.

[aposiopetic]

That’s a great story. And congrats to you and Mrs. Scoutmaster for the decades of wedded bliss.

[reaganaut]

Even if you take into account the druggie Paul supporters that is still 55% against Romney.

[mojitojoe]

Really!!! Annoying the living hell out of you too, I see. :)

[Revolting cat!]

My man Gary is rocking!

[Cato in PA]

Gee, Rick, you sure didn’t think of Newt as a friend on Thursday night.

Amazing! great, stunning victory for Newt.

Served Uncle Sam in North Cackalacky. It’s been ages since I’ve heard the term of endearment ‘Cackalacky’ used in conversation. Thank you for the memory jog.

South Carolina- Present Arms!

You know who has to be really, really sad tonight - Nikki Haley. Talk about peeing in yer own mess kit...

[Spunky]

Santoram was very gracious and congratulated Newt Ginrich. Said he did a great job.

[Right_in_Virginia]

And this is the candidate Brit Hume compared Newt to?

Wow. I’m going to miss Brit.

Thanks for the info...appreciate it.

[Pravious]

Still, it was gracious of him to lead off by congratulation Newt. I don’t remember Romney or Paul even MENTIONING him.

[ElPatriota]

Yeah... Pictures sometimes TELL it better than words... These are all members of the same club! Lightweight Republicans.... not what we need.

Take care.
