The collapse of Newt is - needless to say - highly gratifying, and relieving to me.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Meh it's a winner take all state so margin is meaningless.

[You kip if you want to...]

Mitt's more flawed anyway.

you know it's not about that, it's about MSM and momentum.  a Romney 5 point win at this point doesn't look very good.  a 20 point win and, we can all imagine.

Indeed.

This one will be called when the polls close at 8.

It is looking very good.  Gingrich might be in an overall collapse.

Romney winning by any margin doesn't mean anything.  It was a must-win for him just to stay alive.

The important number is Santorum.  The reason Romney was looking like a shoe-in heading into SC was Ron Paul's performances in IA and NH.  It didn't look like there was going to be a consensus Anti-Romney because Newt and Santorum were split. 

As long as Gingrich solidly retains his spot as the opposition, his poll numbers nationally will not fall.

I'm inclined to agree with this. Most of us assumed Romney had Florida in the bag even after South Carolina - it's meant to be his firewall, and he's poured millions into keeping it that way.

Romney buying Florida is not surprising.

The anti-Romney people will not flock to him no matter how much he wins Florida by.

Not that I think it matters because Romney's winning the nomination anyway.

I'll take that back, Newt is losing but not in full collapse.
