Well, Denizens, I may have been a liiiiiiiitle  bit premature in my writeoff of Newt Gingrich.  (Of course, I’d already said so, but he subsequently slipped, and even I didn’t quite anticipate this.
Newt Gingrich defeated Mitt Romney today to win today’s South Carolina primary, boosted by a fiery debate performance this week that deflated the former governor’s front-runner status overnight.
Rick Santorum will place third and Ron Paul will be fourth first-in-the-South contest.
Propelled by voters who were heavily influenced by the pre-primary debates, and a strong evangelical showing, Gingrich claimed a landslide victory, winning virtually every county in the Palmetto State save for a handful that went to Romney.
So now…with Widdle Ricky Santorum coming from behind to win Iowa, Mittens “Mr. Inevitable” Romboma – with four years and an inordinate amount of cash and so-called “momentum” – has now only won one of the first three primaries/caucii.
And that  one was a hop, skip & jump from his home state.
And that…wasn’t even anywhere near the slam-dunk it should’ve been.
“Mr. Inevitable”?
I wouldn’t exactly call this guy Sherman marching through Atlanta, y’know?

Every candidate in this race has more baggage than Samsonite. Since it’s too late for Steve Largent to enter the race, we have to vote for one of these bozos.
Newt is too PR-challenged, has strong negatives among both the Right and the Left.
Mitt will not fight, has no vision.
Santorum has no momentum.
Paul’s foreign policy will get a lot of innocent people killed.
Perry (who is toast anyway) is too clumsy, has no vision.
Newt seems the least of evils. Whoever wins, I cannot stress this more strongly…THEW RUNNING MATE BETTER DAMN WELL NOT BE ONE OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES.
On that last point, I want the running mate to be a potential successor, someone who is not baggage-laden.
