Newt Gingrich has claimed a decisive victory in the South Carolina primary. His win yesterday dramatically alters the face of the Republican Primary race. The overall voting numbers were:
Newt Gingrich: 30%
Mitt Romney: 20%
Snagglepuss: 20%
Rick Santorum: 13%
Ron Paul: 10%
Cthulhu: 7%
The Snagglepuss team claimed their showing was a mandate for a candidate who is so new to the race. Romney supporters
dismissed the Snagglepuss challenge saying "No one in their right mind
can seriously consider a candidate who only has one name. His star will
fade soon enough." Are they saying that he will be starless? Nice.
The Cthulhu camp was spinning their disappointing showing, claiming they had split the evil vote with Newt Gingrich and the insane vote with Ron Paul, and vowed to get their base constituencies better aligned for the Florida contest on January 31st. Right.
Snagglepuss, a late entry into the race was heard to say...Republican, repugnacan, or rapscallion even. I will be working by the people, for the people, and to the people even. Heavens to Murgatroyd, more babies to kiss?? Exit, stage left.
