It has been many decades since the winner of South Carolina didn't go on to win the nomination. So will it be Newt edging out Romney in the end? Only time will tell.
At least it is interesting.
Here is picture of Team Newt that worked hard today making phone calls down to South Carolina to get out the vote.
Newt's headquarters is based here in Virginia.
The final vote tally is not in yet, but as it stands right now, Newt is up by double digits. The real fight seems to be for third between Ron Paul and Rick Santorum.

Not excited by Newt, less by Romney. What a mess.
Newt HQ is here in VA, but can he get his flippin' name on a ballot?
Details, Smitty, Details.
I hope the world's youngest blogger is doing fine.
I'm not sure how I feel about newt yet. I need to see him in a few more debates to be sure.
Newt must have a big smile on his face today. This race has my head spinning.
Mittens and his crew saw the writing on the wall half an hour after the polls closed in SC. There's a pic floating about on Twitter of Romney's HQ empty of all but about five people.

I hope Newt can at least force Mitt to begin treating conservatives with respect.
To everyone outside of Mitt's tightest circle, I think it should now be obvious that the "ignore the base" strategy isn't working as well as planned.

Is it that he is ignoring them or does he just not know what to do to attract them? People can't change who they are fundamentally. He isn't a conservative, he doesn't fully buy into it, therefore, he has a hard time coming across as sincere. IMO
@jcg
I think you're precisely correct and that's why Mitt would like to pretend that conservatives can be disregarded.
