As soon as the polls closed Newt Gingrich was called the winner by most major news networks. That is all, and it’s hilarious.

I’m 47 years old.
I can’t recall EVER seeing a presidential primary race that so much resembled the old Python “Twit of the Year” competition.
They seem to be outdoing themselves in a race to the bottom, and I’m almost excited to see just how far they will go before bottom is actually reached!
It indeed is a fascinating thing to watch, even if it turns ones stomach.
It’s like watching a really bad old horror movie.
so bad, it’s funny, and ya just can’t tear yourself away…
pass some of that popcorn over here, will ya?

Hmm .. I prefer the Homer Simpson version myself!
Here in Oz, ABC news 24 has just confirmed the result & covered the South Carolina primary incl. speeches
Gingrich apparently by quite a way then Mittens Mr “strinkyfroth” santorum with 17% & Ron Paul on 13% of the vote.

A class president election at the Barnum & Bailey’s clown college is more dignified than this travesty of an electoral process, even with the balloon animal competition.
So after all of the big-name Evangelical endorsements for Rick Santorum, the allegedly so socially conservative SC GOPsters still like him less than the swingin’ toadman and the flip-floppin’ heretic?
I’m afraid Mittens is still going to make it in the end, but this result leaves some hope the Teabaggers might, after all, succeed in pushing through some unelectable wreck of a joke candidate. For the time being, I’m entertained.
