Saturday Open Thread [1.21.12]

Newton Leroy Gingrich is headed for a massive blowout win in South Carolina. In last night's polling, PPP had Gingrich racing away at 40%, with Romney stuck at 26%. In their final three day sample, the PPP poll has Gingrich leading with 37%, followed by Mitt Romney at 28%, Rick Santorum at 16% and Ron Paul at 14%. So you can see the obvious trend. I would not be surprised if Gingrich gets well above 45% tonight. If he gets a majority, then the GOP primary will be rocked to its core.

Acceleration?

Delaware’s unemployment rate fell to 7.4-percent last month from 7.6% in November, according to the Department of Labor. Nationally, more good news.

Indeed.

The South Carolina Ad War

Not living in a primary state, and not watching cable or network news all that much, and also not wanting to subject myself to have the horrible spectacle of the Republican primary ads. I saw the Perry and Huntsman ads earlier this fall. But none of the nonsense in the New Year. So here we go. Ready...

So how are the roads out there. I have a party to go to at 11, so hopefully it is all cleared up by then. Here is an update from Jim Westhoff from DelDOT.

Tomorrow's the big day: the day when Newt Gingrich actually wins a Presidential primary. I never thought I'd see this day come. Truly horrifying and utterly hysterical all at once.

So long Rick Perry. We hardly knew thee. Thank God for that. What is with Presidential candidates quitting in the middle of the week, only days before the next primary. I understand dropping out right after a poor or less then expected showing in a primary, but why right before a primary? You would think that Perry and Huntsman would like to have see how they did in South Carolina. Meanwhile.... Newtmentum II?

One thing that really stands out in the new PPP poll is the extent to which President Obama has claimed the middle. He's up 68-27 on Romney with moderates. He also leads by 20 points with voters under 45, a group there's been some concern about slippage with, and he has a 66-30 advantage with Hispanics. If that's true, the election will not be close.
