Lessons from South Carolina: Christie Is a Few States to the North!

Here are some lessons to be learned from the Newt Gingrich win in South Carolina:

1) The supplicant lap dog Obama press has been given notice that their antics will not be tolerated anymore. John King, the reporter/debate host tongue lashed by Newt Gingrich in the last election, was more responsible for the Gingrich win by his inane, bias question than Gingrich himself. Indeed, that question may have changed the history of this election cycle and the presidency itself. Play fair boys!!! Where is Spiro Agnew when you need him?

2) There is no such thing as the “women’s vote.” Exit polls showed that women voted for Gingrich in greater numbers than the elite media had estimated. Why were they surprised? Women have achieved equality with men with more women graduating from college than men, and thus entering the workforce looking for non-existent work. These aren’t the shrinking violets with lace aprons of the 1950’s. When the economy goes south and she is a working mom, the “woman” will vote just like a man. Economy knows no race or gender.

3) The Republicans are pissed. Romney is a fine man and would make a great president. But to quote a CNN analyst, he is like a mayonnaise sandwich on a silver tray. No taste!!! Republicans not only want to win, they want to tell Obama and his supporters in the press off in the process.

4) Romney can’t win the nomination with 70% of voting Republicans opposing him. He can’t get more than 30% of the vote outside of New England. Some pundits are finally figuring that out claiming the Republican Party leadership is now on the phone called Jeb Bush and Bobby Jindal. It won’t be them. It will be Chris Christie who made the rounds last weekend to CNN, Fox, Imus, plus and appearance on Oprah?? Really?? He even criticized Romney, his endorsed candidate, on the tax return issue. Snookie for VP?

5) Romney’s Waterloo will be Virginia. Santorum and Gingrich failed to properly file petitions and are not on the ballot. Ron Paul is on the ballot. If Santorum and Gingrich unite and ask their supporters to vote for Ron Paul in order to derail Romney in the delegate vote count, and Paul wins, Romney is finished. Don’t be surprised if this happens.

Gingrich has risen from the dead twice. One more time he will be a religion. But the Republican Party won’t…can’t…nominate him for President. His negatives are too high. The rank and file want a scrapper. South Carolina has raised the hue and cry. Florida, the next primary, is important.  Although its delegate count has been reduced because it broke Republican Party rules on primary placement, it is a winner take bonanza.  Current polls show Gingrich ahead by 10 points.  Ouch!!!!!

Ain’t politics fun?
