WINNER Headline of the Week.

and Obama is probably lighting up his victory cigar as we speak

.. He's an over weight lover heavy D ..

I remember after New Hampshire, I posted to the effect that "conservatives have not yet had their say." And everyone was like "Romney's totally gonna win for sure, you're delusional."

For the first time tonight, conservatives had their say in this nomination process. It's clear they don't like the Republican Washington inside liberal elite's hand picked candidate, and prefer an actual conservative instead.

Damn, what a crappy prize. What did second place get, a VCR?

What are the odds of this thread getting demoted to politics tab?

Bucky Katt: Rick Perry's endorcement sure paid off!

/isn't 45 minutes after the polls close a little early to call an election? Just askin.

Apparently, exit polls were overwhelmingly in favor of GIngrich. FWIW, no one can seem to find anyone who was exit polled.

Who knows? Maybe Herman Cain pulls one out.

South Carolina is for Serial Lovers

Newt Gingrich. Washington Outsider.

Bucky Katt: Rick Perry's endorcement sure paid off!

/isn't 45 minutes after the polls close a little early to call an election? Just askin.

Assuming exit polls were run correctly no it isn't. They could have called it a few hours ago.

Who cares, how many votes did Herman Cain get?

stevenr868: and Obama is probably lighting up his victory cigar as we speak

only thing better wd be if Romney still got nomination and some messiah like Perry started a Teabuggers separate run in protest

Guess Santorum was too much of a Papist for them.

Who knew amphibians were so popular in South Carolina.

I agree this is the best headline of the week.

This is why America can't have nice things

Congratulations, South Carolina. You have just voted for a $1.6 million-dollar Freddie Mac consultant (who says he wasn't a lobbyist) who has been married three times, had (has?) a mistress, and was fined $300k for 84 ethics violations the last time he held political office.

Remember, South Carolinians are "values" voters! Just what those values really are, who knows...

considering jesus was born in 7b.c. ...i'd say they were wrong.

I'm not all that into politics and I consider myself a pretty open minded guy. Ok I lean left, but Newt Gingrich? Farking Really? I get Romney, I don't like him but I get it. I don't get this.

I just don't.

The real question for tonight is:

How did Colbert Cain do?

Ha! Enjoy that protracted in-party fight in the primary Romney. I hope the Republicans thoroughly defame him before he ever even reaches the general election.

Libs are pissing their pants. Big Newt will destroy fartbongo in the debates.

Ackbarican_Idol: Who cares, how many votes did Herman Cain get?

This is all I want to know.

With 13% percent reporting "Other" has 1.2%

Do the republicans really think they are going to win an election with a disgraced serial adulterer who runs on family values or a Mormon with a quarter billion dollars, who likes to stash it in offshore tax havens? No wonder Obama is going around singing Al Green songs.

stevenr868: and Obama is probably lighting up his victory cigar as we speak

Yep, if Newt gets the nomination Obama wins re-election in a landslide.

Newt may be quick witted and good in debates, but hes an unlikable asshole and will get none of the moderate votes, the candidate who doesnt get those will lose the election.

Excellent! (new window)

Ackbarican_Idol: Who cares, how many votes did Herman Cain get?

*wag of the finger*
*shakes tiny little fist*

More importantly, it appears that Cain is catching up to Perry.

An actual conservative would want to redistribute a portion of the wealthy's income to the poor(to stimulate the economy), encourage alternative sources of energy( to disengage from the middle east), and reign in corporate interests( in order to preserve the middle class).

Assholes are popular in places populated by assholes.

Highest polling protestant. That's why he won SC.

So much for "family values". The hypocrisy of the right never ceases to amaze me.

There is one screaming, huge story here tonight and that is these Republicans just don't want to vote for Mitt Romney. I mean it's like you're trying to give a dog a pill. They keep spitting it up.

I dare say the Republican base would vigorously disagree with you. They're all semi-Randites and neo-confederates now. Welfare is unspeakable tyranny, and CEOs are the most persecuted members of society.

Republics thought they didn't have quite enough baggage for this trip, so they stopped in South Carolina and onloaded quite a bit more.

Lulz!

Kerry 2.0 is way ahead in the states ahead, but will take quite a bit more "friendly" fire on the way.

Maybe Calista will buy him a hooker or two to celebrate.

What Obama might look like right now:

So South Carolina just voted for an authoritarian scumbag hypocrite.

Good job SC. You may as well have sucked Obama's dick while you were at it. The rest of us know Newt hasn't a chance to beat Obama.

Doesn't matter. Still gonna be Romney.

The only chance republicans have of winning is running Ron Paul and praying.

/I'd consider voting for Ron Paul.

I can't wait till he secures the nomination and his ex-wife does the interview she says will end his political career.

So... basically, South Carolina Republicans have collectively lost their f*cking minds, then?

I love it how the Southern Evangelicals, who're obsessed with family values and traditional marriage would choose a serial philanderer who married his mistress over a devoted family man who's been married to the same woman for 42 years.

And yes, the above commenters who attributed Newt's victory to anti-Mormonism are right.

Ah well.

I wonder what the odds of them accidentally nominating Obama are.

As a guy who self-identifies as being to the left of the Democrats... I farking love the Republican Party this year... you're running a guy who cheated on the first wife (when she had cancer), cheated on the second wife (right after she got diagnosed with MS), took millions from fannie and freddie, and got kicked out of the house leadership by your own freakin party! Of course, if they don't pick Newt, the alternative is Romney... sure he hides his millions in tax dodges overseas so he can enjoy a tax rate far lower than normal americans, especially considering his taxes are overwhelmingly investment income, so they aren't subject to that pesky payroll tax (you know, the tax on people who work, the one you keep forgetting about?), the guy who invested millions of dollars in freakin IRAN while Iran was still making IEDs to kill our soldiers across the border in Iraq, add to that the charisma of Al Gore on Xanex, and this is the choice you're presenting your party for nominees... seriously. I love you guys so much right now just because you're giving the country a clear mandate (not these idiots), and I'm sure the upcoming season of SNL will be one of the best ever.

It's different now that voting has started. Romney can't say "I'm clearly the most electable" when he's 1-1-1 in the primaries. It also matters because it means whoever is the nominee is going to have to claw their way up instead of the casual steamrolling Romney envisioned. They are going to spend big bucks and sling mud for a while yet. Which is awesome.

Want to turn voters against you? Have the librul media "leak" what your tax rate is.

A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for four more years of Obama.

These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West South. You know... morons.

I'd like to start Newt's victory speech for him tonight...

Yes, there are a number of Eastern Catholic churches. They accept the authority of the Pope but follow separate practices that more closely resemble those of the Orthodox church. In most of them priests can marry. Andy Warhol was a lifelong devout Ruthenian Catholic, oddly enough.

Bucky Katt: Five Tails of Fury: So... basically, South Carolina Republicans have collectively lost their f*cking minds, then?

Good to know.

you can't lose something you never had

With Obama's illegal appointments to the to the NLRB and the upcoming screwing of South Carolinians that want to work at the Boeing plant in Charleston, does anyone actually think Obama has a chance of winning SC anyway? I guess the fact that these people want a job makes them mindless? Anybody that pledges to rebuild the economy will get more votes than Obama in SC.

Mitt and Newt will both say anything they think will get them elected - but while Mitt implements that by flip-flopping whenever he perceives it necessary, Newt carries his drive out by going full Lee Atwater.

This will be an epic trainwreck, a political disaster not seen since Canada's defunct Progressive Conservative party went from a majority government to two seats in Parliament. It may very well split the far right wing.

I'll need more popcorn. This election is Obama's to lose... but the Democratic Party could very well snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, at which point the nukes will be controlled by either an IRC chat bot in a suit or an egomaniacal authoritarian who likes to evoke racial stereotypes and thinks the military should invade another couple countries if it will get him the votes.

Newt's going to address his supporters as soon as they light the candle in Callista's head.

Bucky Katt: Rick Perry's endorcement sure paid off!

/isn't 45 minutes after the polls close a little early to call an election? Just askin.

Not really. If you do your pre-election polling right, a lot of precincts are pretty easy to predict (and you do some exit-polling to make sure you are not caught off-guard). Then you only have to worry about the iffy precincts - exit-poll them as heavy as you can, and you are pretty much golden. You also check in with smaller precincts (which often report earlier) - if those are reasonably close to what you have predicted, then calling a race is easy, even before most of the votes are officially counted (and you don't care if the early precincts break against the guy you think will win - all you are looking at is if they are falling out like pre-election polling said they would, and the exit polls said they would. - if they match expectations, then the rest ought to also). The only things you worry about are contests where there is a very close race, or where you exit polling is way out of kilter from your pre-election poll trends. Also, remember, calling a race just means you are saying who will be the winner; your entire concern is simply picking the guy who gets those votes. If he wins by 1 vote or 100K votes, you are still right. So, as long as you feel secure that the guy you announce will win by more votes than the reasonable margin of error, it won't bite you in the ass.

GUYS DID YOU KNOW SANTORUM'S GRANDFATHER WAS A COAL MINER?

Lots of you guys suck at the Catholic question. Orthodox churches are not Catholic. If you're in communion with the Pope, you're Catholic. Eastern Rite Catholic churches just use different forms of the liturgy than Roman Catholics. Most of them are from countries that are traditionally Orthodox or something else, but ended up with a Catholic ruler at some point and decided to pledge allegiance to the Pope in exchange for not being slain and so forth. They got to keep their old styles of saying Mass, which is what makes them distinctive.

bugontherug: MFAWG: bugontherug: I remember after New Hampshire, I posted to the effect that "conservatives have not yet had their say." And everyone was like "Romney's totally gonna win for sure, you're delusional."

For the first time tonight, conservatives had their say in this nomination process. It's clear they don't like the Republican Washington inside liberal elite's hand picked candidate, and prefer an actual conservative instead.

The only thing 'Conservative' about Newt is the racist bile that spews from his pie hole.

That makes gim the PERFECT candidate for the party of angry white men.

Newt is widely credited with engineering the 1994 Republican revolution that caused the Democrats to lose the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years.

only by the daft.

It's really the Dems fault. We had to have a president with a stupid name like Barak Hussein Obama before it would ever be possible to have a president named Newt Gingrich. So way to go libs.

Strong speech by Santorum.

Shorter Santorum: "We're going to all those states that get the Internet trucked or tubed in."

IronTom: Yay Newt!!!

Maybe we'll get a space program back. Keep going all the way to the White House.

Do you think he s more honest with you than he was with his first two wives, the congressional ethics investigation, or the people to whom he told he did no lobbying whatsoever?

i blame bush.

It's amusing right now to watch this, and I still fully believe that the GOP will come to it's senses and nominate Ronmey.

But dear God, what if they don't? First, we have to go through an absolutely excruciating campaign between Obama and Gingrich. And while there is a snowballs chance in Hell that Gingrich wins, dear God, what if Gingrich wins?

Think about that for a moment. The guy with the means to order nuclear strikes is Newt Gingrich.

That is really, really scary.

Dan Savage is a farking genius. I can't see Santorum's name without giggling like a school girl.

So it must be OK to have multiple wives as long as you're Protestant and Southern?

Someone please stop that Georgian in his tracks before we get another resurgence of the hypocritical televangelists. That, and he will bring back slavery through the janitor's room.

IronTom: Yay Newt!!!

I guess the deficit and debt will suddenly stop being priorities five minutes after the "food stamp president" leaves the White House, eh?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he stole that. To hell with Gingrich.

It was sad at the time. Now it's comedy. GO, NEWT, GO!!

South Carolinians simply prefer hypocritical douchebags.

When is Colbert going to make a speech?

malaktaus: jaytkay: eraser8: Newt is Roman Catholic.

Is there such a thing as a non-Roman Catholic?

Yes, there are a number of Eastern Catholic churches. They accept the authority of the Pope but follow separate practices that more closely resemble those of the Orthodox church. In most of them priests can marry. Andy Warhol was a lifelong devout Ruthenian Catholic, oddly enough.

Right. But they're all devout followers of the teachings of Cathol, and that's the important thing.

eraser8: If they call themselves Catholic, by what standard do you declare them not Catholic?

Keep in mind that when I made my comment, I was NOT judging a church's Catholicism by its communion with the Roman pope.


Eh, I don't know. I know the Church of England likes to call itself Catholic, too. For me, "Catholic" always equaled "good with the Pope." I guess it's all those years of Catholic grade school. As I mentioned above, I'm not even practicing anymore; I think I just find it a lot more interesting seeing the intersection of political history with cultural and spiritual folkways. This, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation at hand, but whatever.

Hell ya - Giant head baby man for the GOP candidate.

Please, please, Republicans, make the corrupt, petty, greedy, xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, chicken hawk, lying, philandering bigot your standard bearer.

Know what that's gonna get you?

Hillary 2016, assholes.

Amos Quito: Lenny_da_Hog: TomD9938: neofonz: , South Carolinians are "values" voters! Just what those values really are, who knows...

The self-destruction of the Republican party seems inevitable at this point. Though, I'm sure, that has been said before.

mc_madness: I work hard, make good money and pay higher taxes than most.

I'll vote for any Republican candidate they throw out there.

0/10

that bosnian sniper: Wow, I figured Newt would win in SC but not absolutely grease Romney. Wonders never cease. Guess it will end up going to super Tuesday after all.

Of course, if Gingrich ends up with the nod expect a long, dirty campaign designed to keep as many liberals and moderates home as possible instead of any sort of move to occupy the center.

Sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense. I can't possibly think of a greater motivator to the Democratic base than New Gingrich as the GOP nominee. Even liberals who have no great love for Obama will be begging to vote for him. And Gingrich will turn off far more moderates than he will pick up. They might be the ones to stay home.

Conservatives lost their way when they allowed themselves to be identified exclusively with one party. Now reread what I said and try again.

It's okay - we have lots of drones. Enough to keep watch on Americans who might be protesting WW3 AND to bomb brown folks abroad!

A bigot won in South Carolina?



Romney is still going to be the candidate. Unfortunately for Newt, not every state is South Carolina. I think Romney goes Nuclear Option on Gingrich in Florida and all but buries him. Sure, Newt will stick around but Romney realizes that he needs to win decisively and will pull out the stops and make a stand in Florida. He's got the money to do it.

Yeah, unfortunately that is true.

You were wrong, because conservatives had already had their say by choosing Santorum in Iowa (though it had been called for Mitt at that point).

Also, everyone else was basing their position on facts (i.e. Mitt Romney has won two primaries so far) while you were basing your position on a desire to see not-Mitt chosen as the nominee.

Wait until you have a divorce, and someone asks you that, Mr. Holier than Thou.

I dont have a problem with commitment, chucklef*ck

As an unapologetic conservative I believe that 4 years ago Obama was uready to be President and I still believe that. However I also believe that Gingrich is unfit to be President. If he should become the nominee I would rather stay home and have 4 more years of Obama than have him as President. While I agree philosophicaly with much of what Gingrich says and don't agree with most of what Obama has done I do think that character matters. I have dealt with lots of Gingrich types in my life and consider him to be a sociopath. I hope the rest of the states take a good look at the record of the man and consider the consequences of their votes. I admit to being a Romney supporter as his only character flaw seems to be that he was too good at what he did.

Umm, even if you were to adjust the current western calendar changing the year in that method of reckoning the date doesn't add 7 years to the Mayan calendar, which clocks over a digit in 2012 (everyone else) or 2019 (in your calendar).

Nah, it would, however, be an orgy Schadenfreude by Fark's resident wingnuts, who've been pretty quiet since Hillary failed to metastasize into the big joke on the Democrats they hoped it would.

But that would wear off pretty quickly as the power of the presidency became an extension of Newts sociopahtic ego.
