SC Primary - - Live Thread

Correction to question , Re-listened to Mark Levin, Newt said that in he was part of the development of Reagan’s supply-side economics in the late 1970’s, but Levin that predated Newt by several years.....Newt got to Congress in 1979. Newt was not on Reagan’s radar at the time. Levin said Reagan was taking about “supply-side economics” in 1974 or earlier....

Gingrich
36.5%

Romney
33.8%

>>>>>>> That’s pretty close. Newt will win I guess but SC is good territory for him with a minimum of Dems voting in the Republican primary. I hope Newt does great in Florida but lots of early voting there. Romney will win Florida I think. Florida and SC are winner take all?

I’m off to Lifetime...will check in later. :)

CBS News (yawn...) has assigned 17 delegates from tonights S.C. primary to MIchelle Bachmann! Too funny! Did they hire the captain from the Costa Concordia to run their website?

I find it funny how they keep pushing the point about money and organization. Santorum spent, what, 26 cents per vote in Iowa?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Romney up!

"Most Cubans hate Hussein. He won’t get their vote."

I heard that Newt has already been down there and told them that if elected he would liberate Cuba. :)

[glock rocks]

Is it ok to quote Erickson?

... on the occasions he gets it right :o)

[grey_whiskers]

Schadenfreude!

Cheers!

Loser at the podium.

[billys kid]

That wouldn’t surprise me. Rick Santorum is a petulant little child with an inferiority complex who would do something like that out of spite.

I love Levin but he also saw nothing wrong with Bachmans behavior either. I don’t get it. But I still love him.

[Shortstop7]

Eyes and nose are red...looks like he’s been crying..maybe he has a cold.

[upchuck]

Told y’all we’d git er done :)

On to Florida!

Mittens acting like he won lol!

Oh, really. Then explain what Brit’s point was in pointing out that only Romney finished strong in all three primaries to far? It was indeed to suggest that Romney is still the frontrunner.

[deweyfrank]

Did Brit just say that Catholicism is a cult?

[thesearethetimes...]

No shortage of company there FRiend. I pray nightly that Newt might actually become the statesman he has long aspired to be, and will, with God’s help and ours, save this great nation from it’s DOMESTIC enemies.

Take care, and may God grant us all strength, wisdom and COURAGE.

Loved it!! Charles was speechless...for a change.

Charles who? Peggy who? Bill Kristol who? Hugh Hewitt who? Laura Ingraham who?

Yes Laura, I heard her for a minute the other day and she sounded like she flubbed a job interview and lost the dream job, not happy, almost snarky...

I am not going to turn on the gloatohmeter, but it couldn't happen to a better bunch.....
