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

Exit poll on cnn shows 6% under 30...

No surprise it was 8% in 2008. We need to get over this idea that we are going to get a bunch of people that don't vote to vote. While we are strong with the 18-29 crowd that does vote, we seem to have this unrealistic expectation that we are going to get a massive wave of college age kids coming out to vote for the first time. They don't, so focus on the people that do.

Young people are not a big electorate in southern states.

Independents screwed us. Voted for Gingrich.

South Carolina (except RP voters) is not a very bright state.

Exit polls not correct. This will go into the night to see who gets 3rd. You can get within 2% by asking 2,000 of 450k voters.

Lolm Foxnews.com has the projected winners check mark next to Ron.

We're now brainstorming hard about recruiting young voters through early voting, instead of getting them out to the polls on primary day:

Only 930 on Ron Paul's RevPAC stream

 

[sparebulb]

It's only 7:03pm.

My bad. 7:00 EST

There is probably no reason to even go to the trouble of counting the votes.

 

[vechorik]

RevPAC said AP already declared Gingrich winner - 0 voted counted

 

[kahless]

Counting the votes gets in the way of their media narrative of who they pick to win and place.
