Gingrich predicted to win South Carolina

[Riot]

Wow. Romney loses every single SC district, and loses all 25 delegates.

Simply wow. The Republican Party is in complete disarray.

Ron Paul is the only way forward.

I would vote for Paul over Obama any day,

I agree with Paul about as often as I agree with Obama. Ron Paul is 'what you see is what you get' and Obama is as phony as most any other politician.

I think I stand to personally benefit a hell of a lot more from a strict libertarian than from Obama

George W. Bush (with a big assist from bible thumping Frist) made my life worse more than any other national politican I could imagine with the crap they snuck into the Safe Port Act. Pinnacle shut down for us, Betfair was made off-limit, the off-shore exchange went down. Bush and Frist stole tens of thousands of dollars from me and took away edges as far as I'm concerned.

Obama is basically George W. Bush Light without all of the fake Texas bravado...and Obama has personally tried to steal thousands of dollars from me with his cheap money programs that kill bank interest rates and make it tough on people who expect to earn on savings accounts instead of working standard employment.

If you want interest on your bank savings accounts and CD's -- Ron Paul is your best option. If you want to see gambling and gambling markets more open Internationally, Ron Paul is your best option. If you want to see issues like drugs and prostitution handled competently -- Ron Paul is your only option.

Santorum "glitter-bombed" at South Carolina Republican primary

Members of Occupy Charleston "glitter-bombed" Rick Santorum at the tail end of his speech here at the Citadel tonight.

The occupiers, mostly College of Charleston students, shouted "Occupy!" and threw green glitter in the direction of the podium. One of the students told BuzzFeed afterwards that "I got him in the face!"






Good looking bunch...

Protesters affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement are forcibly removed from a primary night event held by Republican presidential candidate, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum after protesting Santorum's stance on gay-rights at the end of the rally.

South Carolina has about as much relevance to the national consciousness as the Pittsburgh Pirates do in determining the best team in the majors

Watch it bud, i take exception to your remark about the Pirates..Been a Pirate fan since the days of Ralph Kiner (who's he you ask..look him up).
Just because we've been in the basement for 20 years is no reason to compare them to South Carolina (btw, my son lives in Columbia)...and i still have my admission ticket to the first game of the 1960 World Series in which we kicked Yankee butt...Ok to compare SC to the Cleve Indians..

No need for me to look Kiner up. The first baseball bat I ever picked up (around 1950 or so) was my older brother's Ralph Kiner model Louisville Slugger. Damn thing had a narrow handle and a huge head, like a war club!
Heavy as hell. We were Brooklyn Dodger fans, but respected Kiner, who used to kill the Dodgers.

Of course, he later became a NY Mets announcer (maybe still is), but the last time I heard him, he sounded like he had marbles in his mouth. Guess he's in his mid-80's, right?

Mike, he will be 90 this Oct...

Despite a bout with Bell's palsy, which left him with slightly slurred speech, Kiner is still broadcasting, entering his fiftieth year of doing Mets broadcasts as of the start of the 2011 baseball season, though only as an occasional guest analyst..
