Newt wins. I never thought I would say those words. As someone who remembers Newt’s antics back in the 1990′s, I can only hold my breath and wonder just when he self-destructs in some spectacular manner. While the people of South Carolina don’t care, I imagine Republicans elsewhere must be wondering if another shoe will drop-a long-term groupie or some financial shenagans that make Mitt’s money weaseling look positively frugal.
The people who won the South Carolina primary for him-only 10% of his voters were under 40. Talk about out of touch to say the least with economic and social realities-snowbird whites who live in gated communities, elderly locals who resent the changes in society. Talk about the cranky vote. Angry and uninspiring and out of touch never Presidential elections. Ask McCain, snoozing his way through what will be his last term, ending not in a blaze of glory but with reciminations between him and the Palin grifter.
So the Romneybot will need some rebooting. And will Reboot in a nasty way. Romney is of the class that’s used to getting is way, and if they don’t, they get really nasty. There was no way he could get at war hero McCain back in 2008, but Newt just might have enough ammo for a fulll-scale assault, fair or foul.
It should be interesting.
