Question: Are the people he's kissing on the cheek family members or are those just random supporters who got a good spot in the crowd?

EDIT: Woot, started two pages in a row :D

Paul never expected to do well in SC. He also doesnt plan on doing that well in FL.

However he has won polls in other states such as texas and idaho.

also I am sure that Paul will campaign the whole time because of something he said
"Im not just campaigning for presidency, but also to spread my ideas"
(Paraphrasing, cant find exact quote)

I think Ron has a good chance of winning Nevada. He could put up a good showing in Maine as well.

Florida is the worst state in the US and I refuse to even acknowledge it.

Are they doing any commercials/breaks? I need to use the toilet.

Oh here it is. The stream knows me well. Gingrich goes up in 5.

Here's % of the votes he got in the three states in 2008

Iowa: 10%
New Hampshire: 8%
South Carolina: 4%

Here's those same three states in 2012

Iowa: 21%
New Hampshire: 23%
South Carolina: 13% (As of now)

Still not sure it's growing?


You are retarded and I'd be willing to make a significant financial bet with you that Paul won't win the nomination. That is how sure I am that he will not win.

First of all, he came last in South Carolina.

Secondly, the only reason he gets high percentages is when Democrats and Independents are allowed to vote.

Thirdly, he tries explaining shit in the debates. AMURICANS don't like explanations - they like Patriotic/evangelical statements that don't require much thought. Paul would get more votes if he said: "I want to win back America for Jesus," than explaining the economic benefits of a zero percent tax rate.

Thinking that Ron Paul will win the Republican nomination is like believing that the hot chick in your class is going to go out with you if only she could see what a special person you are when you're a fucking computer nerd.

In another story Newt winning SC shows that Nikky Haley has no power in SC, her own state.


Don't think you can make that inference because of the effect of the debate. I think SC loved how fiery Newt was and Romney looked just pathetic.


And the Romney Camp and Haley herself touted the endorsement...


Well disagreements aside

Does anyone out there think this means Newt will be the new favorite for nominee? It's a loaded question on my part but just curious if anyone thinks the SC primary even matters in the long run.


Maybe, because now he can ride on that momentum to florida. That americans will find out come next week when they start doing polls after the SC results are out. But romney is the only guy among the 4 who has prepared a drawn out national campaign plus he has all this $$$$$$$$$ so he has a pretty good chance of winning if the nomination process goes all the way to the end.


So if I understand this correctly, Romney has the most to benefit from a drawn out campaign, and Paul has second most?

So what redeeming qualities do these SC folks see in Gingrich?


Not being a mormon.

That's the way it seems. Any long drawn out battle that goes to the last state will favor Romney, and then Paul. Paul went all the way to the convention 4 years ago as well.


See, this is the kind of ignorance I'm talking about. Ron Paul did not attend the Republican Convention four years ago because they didn't let him in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Republican_National_Convention

How much has Romney spent so far in three states, almost 20 million? How is it good, especially when it comes to PR, to spend more and more money to try and wrap up a long winded primary. Super PAC's have been a monster even Republicans admit is out of control it won't look good if Romney and his Super PAC's spend over 100 million to win just the nomination.

IIRC South Carolina is extremely high in terms of religiosity for evangelical protestants which would pretty much destroy Romney's chances in the first place, even worse Romney completely bombed in the debate.

So that leaves voters to chose in their eyes an isolationist coward (Ron Paul), or Rick Santorum who looked unremarkable in the debate. The only shocking part for me is how far back Santorum is.

17 million from his campaign, another 12 from his Super PAC.
