Moments after the polls closed in South Carolina, the networks called the primary for Newt Gingrich. The exit polls show Gingrich winning big among conservatives, self-described Tea Party supporters, evangelicals, and late deciders. More to come.
UPDATE: Fox is projecting that Rick Santorum will come in third.

Newt win in SC, he gets the GOP nod, and defeats Obama in a landslide. Is it 1980? Why not.

Karl Rove looked like his adult diaper burst when they projected Newts victory.
RJ| 1.21.12 @ 8:28PM
Good. I hope I can see a replay of it.
Karl Rove strikes me much more of an advocate rather than an expert commentator. I didn't see his brilliance when he ran George Bush's campaign and many of his comments against the Tea Party Candidates in 2010 convinced me that he is not looking out for my interests.

Gingrich engineered the 1994 GOP revolt, he'll lead the Tea Party revolt in 2012. Three strikes, Obama out!
Clint| 1.21.12 @ 8:10PM
" the opposition to Romney has been led by conservative grassroots writers and activists, as well as groups like FreedomWorks. Gingrich isn’t much more popular among that contingent than Romney. In May, when Gingrich sharply criticized Paul Ryan’s Medicare reform plan, FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey reminded National Review that Gingrich had been a serial offender:
Citing Gingrich’s support of Dede Scozzafava in the 2009 congressional election in New York’s 23rd district, his backing of Medicare Part D and TARP, and his commercial with Nancy Pelosi about climate change, Armey observes that “Newt entered the race with serious ground to make up with these 2 million Tea Party activists.”…
Brendan Steinhauser, director of Federal and State Campaigns for FreedomWorks, reports that the Tea Partiers he’s talked to are “irate” at Gingrich… “I never met a single Tea Party activist that supported Newt Gingrich for president,” he adds."

Gingrich is 1000% better than Obama. That's all matters for 2012.

Newt Gingrich, the "Shadow of Reagan," is on the verge of clinching the GOP nod. 1980 = 2012
Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 1.21.12 @ 8:37PM
Newt Gingrich is proof positive that Republicans look forward to another defeat. Newt is simply a retread of McCain. The only difference is that Newt thinks quicker on his feet. Other than that there's really not a great difference.
bill| 1.21.12 @ 8:53PM
No, You're wrong! Gingrich will win the GOP nod and DISMANTLE Obama in the general election.
Reagan is back.
Conservatives are united!
The Tea Party is surging!
We're taking back America!
JUST WATCH!
Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 1.22.12 @ 6:24AM
If you think Newt is a conservative God help you.

"Brokered Convention Chatter on Rise
January 20, 2012.
Limbaugh,
" the scuttlebutt is keep Newt in this. Keep everybody in this. Don't let this nomination get decided in Florida. Keep it going 'cause nobody's happy right now. I wonder how many of you, "Yeah, yeah," agree with that premise, "Yeah, yeah," this is something unsettled, something not quite right here. So there's that scuttlebutt. "
See Ya At The Brokered Convention.

Paul is accusing Whites for the black suffrage, while denying the fact that majority of blacks are uneducated, live on welfare, and commit 90% of all crimes. He's a LIAR. He needs to join NAACP.
ayrnieu| 1.21.12 @ 9:30PM
1. The word you're looking for is "suffering".
2. Meh. It's dumb, but Paul supporters are terribly impressed by it. Paul himself is hardly going to talk about these matters with any seriousness after running away from his harmless newsletters.
Occam's Tool| 1.21.12 @ 11:34PM
Shuddup Clint. Your little jihadi buttspreader candidate lost.

Let's See Ya Make Me , Little Short, Fat, Agin' Neo-Chickenhawk Coward Israel Firster Smear Bund Bibi Butt Boy, Tool Job.
Dr.Ron Paul Can Beat The Big Government Keynesian, Obama.
" CBS Poll: Independents Prefer Ron Paul Vs Obama
In a head to head match up with incumbent President Barack Obama, the indie voter chooses Ron Paul, a CBS News poll suggested on Monday.
A total of 47% of independent voters said they would choose Ron Paul compared to 45% of independent voters choosing Mitt Romney against Obama, and 41% of independents saying they would choose Rick Santorum. If a Paul-Obama showdown were ever to take place, 47% of independent voters would vote for Paul, 81% republicans and 10% Democrats for a total of 45% of the vote. Obama would get just 40% of the independent vote in that contest, with 85% of the Democrats choosing Obama and 9% of Republicans choosing the President on election day in November. Obama would win the general election by a narrow one point margin if the election was held today between the two."

I'm looking forward to the day when Ron Paul either leaves the race or is mathematically eliminated or something, for no other reason than that there may be a possbility that Clint will disappear from these pages forever.
Occam's Tool| 1.21.12 @ 11:35PM
You realize, Paul, that I'm a very pleasant fellow when Clint is not around. But he's such a worthless, child rape endorsing , treason supportuing bag of scum, I can't help it.
