But will they regret it in the morning?
I love South Carolina. Myrtle Beach is my favorite winter vacation spot. You can golf in January. And prices are always reasonable, the people always friendly.
I'm guessing that Newt's sudden surge has a lot to do with the latest Adelson cash infusion and not that much with the good folks of South Carolina. Mind you, they are a forgiving lot.
They're big on that Christian virtue of forgiveness. They're ready to forgive Newt for dumping his first wife when she got a life-threatening illness. They're ready to forgive him for dumping his second wife when she got a life-threatening illness. Thankfully, wife number three has managed to hang onto her good health and her husband.
When wife number two showed up on prime time the other day, in an exercise obviously choreographed by the Romney campaign, to claim that Newt doesn't have the moral fiber to be considered presidential material, South Carolina had already forgiven him.
Besides, what's moral fiber got to do with being President? When you think Bill Clinton, does the concept of "moral fiber" come to mind? What about W? I'm thinking not.
Or how about Strom Thurmond? Yes, he was a candidate for the White House once upon a time, when moral fiber was just being developed at Coker Experimental Farms right there in South Carolina. Ran on a platform of keepin' the neegra in his place.
Didn't get him to the White House but it kept him in the Senate for the next fifty years.
