No comments ? The South Carolina primary is over and it doesn't even get mentioned here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't say I blame anyone. What can be said ? Three primaries, three different winners ???

These primaries are like a sporting event, baseball, football, basket ball, hockey, La Crosse. Someone scores, and everyone cheers or booo's, but it isn't the end game. The diversity of winners in various regions, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina seems to illustrate just how bizarre and regional public attitudes are. The other factor is the big see saw of top runners, changing every few days. And the apparently large numbers of undecideds who make up their minds at the last minute. The trend of a different person being at the top of the pile every few days is most disturbing to me. Especially since listening to a speech seems to have a big impact.

At one point last night Fox News was showing "delegates" and Mitt was leding Newt in "delegate" votes while Newt was leading Mitt in the popular vote. I only saw it once early on and never again on Fox or any other station. Remember the Bush/ Gore election. Gore won the popular vote and Bush won on delegates !!! * Adendum: This morning a website was showing that Gingrich won 23 of the 25 delegate votes in South Carolina. However, overall Romney has 33, Gingrich 25 and Santorum 17.

Jay Leno has gone out on the street and asked passes by political questions. Most of those he questioned were incredibly uninformed. In one case he asked a person about Obama's politics, Jay quoting the Republican position, pretending it was Obamas, and the person agreed with the positions. Clueless. In another case some could not even recognize most politicians and didn't know who the vice-president was. In some cases, never heard of them, i.e., people like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

We will see. Things are sure to change. Gingrich can't even get on the ballot in Virginia !!!! He is headed for complications further downstream.

Increasingly the possibility that Obama may not be eligible to be on a ballot is looming larger and larger. A Federal Judge refused to dismiss the case wherein Orly Taitz will now be able to depose Obama and ask for school records and financial aid *( As a foreign student ). And Sheriff Arpaio's report is due out soon.
