South Carolina Election Returns - 19:00ET (1/21/12) - Official Thread

[Crotale]

Well this is just depressing. I'm going to head off to bed if the situation hasn't improved with 10% reporting.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

Ron's recent 19% polling is not being reflected in these very early results..

 

[Okie RP fan]

Fox News predicting Ron is 4th

Yep. They said that Santorum is projected to go third.

 

[Liberty Shark]

Ron got 11% of those who decided in the last few days. The debates never help him.

I agree, and have been saying this for a while.

 

[Vet_from_cali]

guys don't get too discouraged, this was what we were expecting in SC. the more important matter is the states here after.

 

[tajitj]

Think about it people, these early returns are apparently going to have an 8% swing at the top, giving Newt the win, because right now Mittens is winning.

It is not out of the realm for the Santorum, Paul vote to get real close.

 

[V3n]

That's a risk I'm willing to take with the alternative being Romney being crowned after 4 primaries.

If they crowned Romney after 4 primaries, Newt and Santorum would exit, then EVERYONE would be pissed at Paul for not dropping out, saying things about "Romney really needs to focus on Obama now, instead he's dealing with this un-electable Paul" and everyone would hate us. Better Romney doesn't win and this gets dragged out.

STOP WATCHING THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA!

It will only depress you and spike up their stupid ratings.

Here's something to cheer you up:

Looks like PPP nailed the nubers last night

 

[pauliticalfan]

Why the hell is Wolf so dramatic? Basically just screamed that Newt Gingrich won.

 

[RiderOfTheStorm]

Dear Fox News: RON PAUL FINISHED SECOND, NOT THIRD, IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

 

[Crotale]

All Ron Paul supporters need to join their local Tea Party. That NEEDS to change.

 

[Back In Black]

Just be ready for a third party Ron Paul campaign. The GOP establishment won't budge.

It's over folks, it's over.

 

[jcarcinogen]

This means the southern states are pretty much hopeless. They basically are the same culturally.

 

[anaconda]

How come we only have 1% reporting when the polls have been closed for 35 minutes?

 

[VictorB]

Are all these results still early votes being counted?

 

[heavenlyboy34]

As I understand, most of the states with a lot of electoral votes haven't voted yet (like AZ). Don't be too depressed yet.

 

[low preference guy]

This means the southern states are pretty much hopeless. They basically are the same culturally.

things change. topics change. newt will be attacked ferociously after this win.

 

[Karsten]

Just be ready for a third party Ron Paul campaign. The GOP establishment won't budge.

It's over folks, it's over.

Even if we go third party it's not "over."

"Late decider" Newt Gingrich voters going to the polls.
