The SC Election Day & Results Thread

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

LOL! Beaufort County is in the 2nd Congressional District.

I don't understand why that's 'funny'.

Professor Gingrich did the worst with those who have been to graduate school.

[Reginald]

So presumably Romney stays at just three counties won tonight, bringing his grand total up to 28 out of a possible 155. Kinda shocking out of context for the "presumptive nominee," IMO.

[Sam Spade]

When you think about the candidates, this map is so predictable.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colbert raised Cain to number 1 there!

ROMNEY WON A SUBGROUP:  MILLIONAIRES!

[J. J.]

SC was the state where Romney's momentum could be stopped; it was.  The race will not be over until Super Tuesday, at least.

Romney didn't slump; Gingrich surged.

Hilarious, surely?

[redcommander]

Well at least the primary won't be over by Florida. Mitt Romney has got to play a much better game if he wants to maintain his lead there.

[Joe Republic]

Gingrich somehow won the married women demographic.  

[Alcon]

I honestly doubt Mitt Romney will have a lead in Florida at all, coming out of South Carolina.  He has a few days to make it up, though.

I actually want your opinion, because there's both a class and an urban and rural dynamic going on here, but my real thought is - shouldn't we just concede the South that is not VA and FL, and Appalachia to Gingrich now.

Santorum has a good chance to be competitive in at least northern Appalachia.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Virginia is Safe Romney, at least.

[greenforest32]

I applaud South Carolina Republicans for their excellent voting decision.

It's time to go Santorum.

[Keystone Phil]

It's time to go Santorum.

Oh, I agree: time for this nation to go for Santorum. I assume you meant to put a comma in there though.

I almost feel sorry for you Phil. How can you support such an utterly HP? Do you really agree with his positions?

[BigSkyBob]

Virginia is Safe Romney, at least.

Gingrich isn't running in Missouri either.

The brokered convention scenario is Gingrich becoming the frontrunner, but, losing enough delegates in Virginia, Missouri, and open primary states not to reach the necessary number of delegates to win on the first round.

Part of strategy requires the establishment to pull Romney in favor of a late entry such as Mitch Daniels if he continues to falter badly.

The Missouri Primary is just a beauty contest with no delegates at stake. Missouri delegates will be chosen later at a Caucus,

Why did Santorum do so well in the Charlotte suburbs?

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Pretty interesting (1964 Presidential Map vs. 2008 GOP primary map)




The class war might be dead in general elections but in primaries it still flourishes.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Virginia is Safe Romney, at least.

No its not.  I think a good chunk of the people who would vote for Newt if they could will vote for Ron since he's not Mitt.   Paul getting some CDs or even the whole commonwealth would not be a big surprise.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

So only 4% of voters opposed the tea party? Goodness I had no idea they were that popular among the GOP primary voters!

Romney won millionaires, pro choice voters, people who identify as moderate/liberal and those who aren't religious.

That part of SC traditionally was dependent on its textile industry and was Democratic (more downscale as well). I think that answers that question to an extent.
