Newt Gingrich wins South Carolina
Newt Gingrich upsets the front runner Mitt Romney in South Carolina by fighting back thru a super PAC supporting him with millions of dollars of negative campaign ads against Mitt Romney and his “Private Equity” background. You can officially say the “Race is On”! After Newt repeatedly said he would not turn the campaign negative, he certainly didn’t shy away from the support he received from PAC’s and other supporters that continued to pound Romney for his claims made on job creation, capital formation, and overall business activities. South Carolina voters just ignored the numerous marriages of Newt Gingrich, and he began to aggressively defend his personal life, public life, and his private business dealings, including his consulting agreements with numerous publicly owned agencies. Newt hopes to take his momentum into Florida and beyond by raising additional money to support a long term campaign. Many Republicans believe that a Newt Gingrich win is essentially handing over the election to President Obama, so although the Newt camp is excited about the win, the hallways of Washington are filled with talks of defeat in November. Only time will tell!
