Perry flubbed his three departments once again, NBC’s Carrie Dann reports. During a radio interview this morning, he was asked which federal departments he would shut down. Perry listed: “Three right off the bat: Commerce, Interior, and Energy are the three that you think of.” Problem: Those are NOT the three he had previously not been able to name. He swapped Interior for Education. He has not previously said he would eliminate Interior.
The 40% of Americans who mistakenly think that Obama makes a lot of gaffes?
Oh ****, there he goes again! :lol:

You really don't want to see a list of a few of Obama's gaffes do you ??
It's a l-o-n-g list.

Interesting. Recent polling from Rasmussen (16%) & ARG (20%) show him growing rapidly. Also SC google the poo out of him after his NH primary speech. It benefits Paul that it is also a OPEN primary. I except him to make third (previously fourth), anything else would be a plus.
From what im hearing their is a lot of Newt signs. I think the social conservative wing is going to abandon Sant and rally behind Newt in SC.

Supposedly South Carolina State Senator Tom Davis will announce his endorsement on Sunday. I believe it is for Paul...Is he popular/carry weight in South Carolina to anybody who is familiar?
A group of 170 socially conservative Christian leaders representing various politically active organizations emerged from a weekend meeting near Houston with consensus support for the presidential candidacy of Rick Santorum.
"There emerged a strong consensus around Rick Santorum as the preferred candidate of this group," Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, told reporters during a conference call after the vote.
There were three rounds of balloting, Perkins said. In the first round there was "measurable support" for Santorum, Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich. The second round of balloting came down to Gingrich and Santorum. And in the final ballot, many Gingrich supporters moved to Santorum in a desire to emerge from the meeting with a strong consensus candidate.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online from January 10-13 with a sample of 995 South Carolina registered voters. It included 398 Republicans and 380 Democrats.
Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online surveys but this poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 5 percentage points for Republicans and 3.4 percentage points for all voters.
I think if I lived in South Carolina, at this point I'd cast my vote for Herman Cain
For the primary maybe. But when it comes to the general election, I am voting for South Carolina's Son.
With Iowa and NH over and done with, and with such a commanding lead in the polls in Florida, SC really doesn't matter that much- other than that the SC GOP primary winner has been the GOP nominee for the last, oh, who the hell knows how long... but I think SC will be the toughest of these first few primaries for Romney due to the liberal media intent on showing him as a "vulture capitalist" as Perry called him. And some fault can be found, I'm sure, in his business dealings.
My biggest problem with Romney is that I feel he is the conduit to an Obama re-election. I don't think he can beat the president. If he can't beat Obama, he shouldn't be the nominee. (And what does it say about him as a candidate when people think that he doesn't stand a chance against the President with poorer popularity than Jimmy Carter?)
This race will come down to the independent voters as usual. The nutty leftists will vote on the left; the nutty righties will vote on the right. The libertarians, moderates, and independents will split between the two. Romney won't be able to command the swing of these more moderate voters that will be necessary for him to win against Obama.
For now, if the political pundits had any brains in their heads, they would be pumping up their listening audiences- telling them how wonderful Romney is, helping to get them fired up. Instead they say pretty much what I just said. That he doesn't stand a chance in hell of winning in the general election. Combined with the concentrated attacks from the liberal media, this attitude basically constitutes a concession of the general election to Obama before the third primary is completed. Ridiculous
A Gingrich SC Win would make this race VERY interesting going forward as it could easily establish 2 legitimate contenders and a third with the resources and infastructure to continue the process and interject chaos into the convention process.
On the flip side, if Romney can stave off Newt in both South Carolina AND Florida he could very well already be close to rounding 3rd base come Super Tuesday.
However I still want Herman Cain to finish in the top 4

Three polls came out today, and all three of them show Gingrich in the lead in SC.
Rasmussen: Gingrich 33, Romney 31
Insider advantage: Gingrich 32 Romney 29
PPP: Gingrich 34 Romney 28
The debate tonight could be very interesting.
