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

[UNC08]

We are saying there was no ground game in SC. Does the phone banking and the Youth for RP stuff not count?

 

[Monotaur]

Stream anyone?

 

[VictorB]

I'm hoping Romny and Newt try to battle it out for Florida and spend tons of money there. Newt doesn't have much cash and if he loses Florida he'll be running on fumes.

 

[FreedomFox]

Holy shit, some of the counties, Huntsman and Perry are beating Paul. Some counties haven't a single vote for Paul. This is very Sad.

On the bright side, it's only 10% reporting, and most of those counties where Huntsman and Perry are beating him have only a handful of votes counted.

 

[Butchie]

What did you do to help win SC? This is a team effort and it will take 110% from all of us to get through the MSM firewall.

Stop putting the blame on us, aside from his dismal FP policy reply at the first debate, in a state with 12% unemployment you DO NOT EVER say shipping jobs to China is a good thing, don't care about his "deaper meaning", he was in a room full of knucklehead clapping seals, all they heard was "Ron likes shipping our jobs overseas so we starve and lose our homes".

HAHA Fakest thing I ever saw...

Romney finishes his speech. Wife walks off stage as he tries to get a granddaughter in front of him. He chases her and taps her on the shoulder and has her come back on stage. They gather together, and he starts kissing each of them. The most choreographed poll-tested thing I have ever seen, and so blatant at that.

 

[Crotale]

Fuck this. I'm off to bed, it's 1:10am here. This one is pretty dead, I don't want to watch us lose.

Florida is another loss but we'll turn it around in Nevada. This race is far from over and the fight will go on.

Good night all.

Another takeaway ... I think Santorum will not perform well enough tonight to earn any delegates by district. Looks like Newt and Mitt will be splitting those.

Counts for more than doubling our 2008 showing! No small feat! Volunteers put forth a lot of effort and that's great. Not the payoff we want to see tonight, but for the future of the country, that's a very good thing!

Drudge says "ALL THREE OF THEM WON" 2 delegates.

 

[LoneWolf]

Sigh...gotta listen to morons for the next 2 weeks running their trap that Paul can't win. Lousy today in SC gonna do Lousy in Florida...If he can't do well in the south then how in the world are we supposed to win a national campaign against Obama?

We are now up to 310% of our 2008 results, and in 2008 the PCC was all-in.

Looking at the counties where we worked (12-15%) and the counties we didn't (4-7%) it's pretty clear the efforts had an impact.

He'll get a ton of money after tonight. The big money people always hedge their bets...they already placed them on Obummer and Romney but now they need to cover their risk on Gingrich.

Not sure if everyone is already watching this on RevPac?
(Ron Paul getting ready to talk.)

 

[Butchie]

I became a Paul supporter about five minutes after hearing him speak in the first debate during the '08 cycle. Some people will never get it. A great number of those people -- I refer to them as "morons" -- live in South Carolina.

Amen to this!!!!!!

 

[Nate1604]

Romney going down tonight is VERY GOOD for us. Chinks in the armor. He's missing a scale on his under-belly.
Money-man is going to dump a bunch of cash in Florida to attack Gingrich. Florida is a black-hole. It's a Russian Winter to any campaign, and all these jokers (minus Ron Paul) is going to get bogged-down and their campaigns will be destroyed there.

Awesome.

AMEN!!! The supporters of Romney and Gingrich will wage war against each other. I want to buy tickets for a good seat!

 

[majinkoola]

Ron looks like he is quadrupling his vote total in a lot of places if you compare county by county to what he had in 2008. Considering that the South is so terrible for him, I'm not in a panic.

I agree. Others are saying we had zero campaign presence which isn't true.

The basic problem is getting Ron paul videos in front of 100 million voters in the next few months. There was a guy selling Ron Paul DVDs somewhere online.
