The SC Election Day & Results Thread

Married women favor Gingrich.

WTF?

[Sam Spade]

If the exit polls are accurate, Gingrich will win, as his support has always been stronger among men.

Haha, it's over.

Whats the exit polling (if any) saying about Ron Paul?

[Bacon King]

Note for 2008: First results went online at 7:15, 22% of precincts were in at 8:15; it was called for McCain at 9:17 PM. This will certainly be called for Gingrich earlier than that, though.

LOL

But yeah, this looks like a Gingrich landslide. If he's leading with women, then this is over.

[Alcon]

I'm not sure, unless we have a historically huge gender gap, that necessarily means an obvious >40% for Gingrich.  Plus, it suggests Romney is probably decently solid for second.

but that's entirely intuition, not numbers.

Well, they were Al Smith's best state, with 91.4% of the vote, so I guess they don't mind Catholics that much.

So many things wrong with this statement.

[Mr. Morden]

CNN exit poll data:

When did you decide?

today 16%
last few days 37%
earlier this month 21%
more than a month ago 26%

[CLARENCE 2015!]

This will be a night for us Newt supporters like Jan 3rd was for Santorum supporters

[Mr. Morden]

CNN also says exits have stronger turnout among men than women.  But I don't think that's unusual for a GOP primary.

[Ⓐnarchy in the ☭☭☭P!]

Whats the exit polling (if any) saying about Ron Paul?

Independents are apparently 26% of the vote, while ARG predicted 24% and PPP predicted 18% (I think). That probably benefits him.

Also more men than women, also good for him.

[RI]

Just saw a pro-SOPA ad on CNN. Never seen one of those before.

A bit late for that, I think.

The exit polls say the electorate is really old, though, so that's probably not too good for Paul.

But also nearly 75% over 45.... which doesn't bode too well.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Especially in a Tea Party-saturated state like SC.

The difference is you'll be able celebrate tonight rather than 3 1/2 weeks after the fact.

More like they minded the damn yankee Republicans for burning down daddy's barn, even more.

This article is a veritable comedy goldmine.

I especially liked the mention of the staged photo-op of Mitt washing his own clothes.  I mean, seriously, unless he has a fear of letting someone else wash them, he has better things to do with his time on the campaign trail than that.
