What do you think about Gingrich winning South Carolina?

Why do you think he won? I just heard on TV that half the people polled in SC said they believed Newt was the most electable in a general election. That doesn’t sound right to me at all. Other people have suggested he did better than Romney because Romney is a Mormon. But, I hear a lot of Christians around me saying that is not the case. I’ve watched Newt in some interviews the last few days, and he definitely is throwing around the Christian phrases.

I also don’t understand how anyone can vote for Newt or excuse his past, if that same person is extremely critical of Clinton’s sexual escapades, and trying to tie together a man’s committment in marriage and morality to the ability to do the job of the President. I mean really, how is Newt any better? I would venture to guess most of the right wing is critical of these sorts of behaviors, and I would also guess it is the right wing supporting Newt. I don’t get it.

Discuss.
