Gingrich says he got a call from Obama: “He stopped laughing just long enough to say congratulations.” #SCPrimary

MT @BenLaBolt: 12,000+ Nevadans turned out to support Obama in NV today. 4X more than for Pres. Bush in 04 (last noncompetitive caucuses).

KQ, Because Newt is “forgiven” and Romney isn’t a real Christian.

I hope Newt wins the nomination. This racebaiter has enough baggage to take a trip to the moon and stay a couple of years.

Looking at exit polls, hard to say that Romney’s religion wasnt a factor. 59% of voters said candidate sharing beliefs matters.

I hope so Kalima, but we have a lot of dumb voters and a lot of money to spend on them.

Why, KQ, he is second with delegates going into today’s vote. Newt went in with zero.

Sue, I hope she’s not getting sick! 😆 A different first lady?

And close to 1/2 of absentee votes are already in. May be a big hill to climb for Newt.

Hey, yell at Bob for his tweet. 😆

Truth, AdLib, he does have that deep logic of “my dog is smart, therefor all dogs are smart.”

Well, it’s over, MSNBC just called it for Newt 30 seconds after the polls closed. #idiots

Ed Schultz said one of the dumbest comments today. SC and Florida voters are a lot alike. Florida is one of the most diverse states I have ever been/lived in culturally shy of when I lived lived in the Chicago area in the 50’s/60’s. What Ed, their both in South?

LIVE BLOG – GOP Debate at 5:00 PM PST in SC – 1/19

Excellent KQ, I like that thought. The longer the primaries continue, and their pandering to the RW they have to do, the more obvious it will making the turn to the center. Iowa was proportional, so no massive win of delegates for anyone, SC is proportional and Florida will be the first test of winner take all. With more proportional the more pandering? Or the opposite? Hmmm, I need to think about that one.

KQ, yes the bishops also signing the letter does carry more weight but the wait for an answer may have to come after the primaries. Just not their base.

Catholic leaders to Gingrich, Santorum: ‘Stop perpetuating ugly racial stereotypes’

Mr. Gingrich has frequently attacked President Obama as a “food stamp president” and claimed that African Americans are content to collect welfare benefits rather than pursue employment. Campaigning in Iowa, Mr. Santorum remarked: “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.”

“At a time when nearly 1 in 6 Americans live in poverty, charities and the free market alone can’t address the urgent needs of our most vulnerable neighbors. And while jobseekers outnumber job openings 4-to-1, suggesting that the unemployed would rather collect benefits than work is misleading and insulting,” the letter adds.

[…]

He also said that Gingrich and Santorum’s “rhetoric around class and racial issues is in many ways out of line with Catholic social teaching. That is something Catholic voters will be concerned about, particularly given that both Santourm and Gingrich have not been shy about talking about the importance of their faith from a personal perspetcive and also how it shapes their political views as well.”

But what do they care about their hypocrisy, people of color and the poor are not their base. Damn the teachings!

k’es, I heard a top aide to Newt while he was both Whip and Speaker, that this is very typical of Newt, SOP. I don’t know if this is true, but he said Newt has done the same thing in every debate, outrage over the media/question.
Went on to say that he shouldn’t become Prez because of his shooting off at the lip, without thought.

5 Reasons To Be Glad You Didn’t Watch The CNN South Carolina GOP Debate

http://www.politicususa.com/en/cnn-republican-sc-debate

Final Verdict: The first hour of this debate sizzled. The second hour fizzled. Mitt Romney may have lost South Carolina tonight. With only four candidates on the stage viewers were able to get a longer look at all of the candidates, and this did not benefit Romney. If Gingrich wins in South Carolina, it will raise questions about whether Mitt Romney has a problem with Southern voters, and it will extend the nominating process and expose more of Romney’s weaknesses. If Santorum or Paul can’t pull off a win in South Carolina, the GOP contest will become a two person race. Mitt Romney will have lost two of the first three contests, and the narrative of his inevitable nomination will be shattered.

The big winner tonight was President Obama, because he is going to get to face one of these four in the fall.
