Flip on any television news show and you're destined to hear this all-purpose story line about the GOP primary in South Carolina. <br /> <br /> Gingrich is an able orator but not everyone is convinced that grand oratory did the trick for Gingrich in South Carolina. The Ticket underscored the demographic rift in Republican politics that Democrats are striving to broaden. <br /> <br /> Gingrich won 45 percent of South Carolina primary voters who "identified themselves very conservative," with Mitt Romney at 20 percent. Among those identifying themselves as evangelical, Romney only got half the votes Gingrich did.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5896633240397735144-3784804295686128831?l=moeursalen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PoliticalAndSocialNewsViewsAndClues/~4/KWy77UT0xDs" height="1" width="1"/>moeursalenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03907282479883785050noreply@blogger.com0http://moeursalen.blogspot.com/2012/01/dissenting-view-of-great-south-carolina.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896633240397735144.post-10869229144835008872012-01-20T12:12:00.000-05:002012-01-20T12:12:32.319-05:002012-01-20T12:12:32.319-05:00 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IWydJTc8wEH2cuKGOFK-dYXU-m4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IWydJTc8wEH2cuKGOFK-dYXU-m4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IWydJTc8wEH2cuKGOFK-dYXU-m4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IWydJTc8wEH2cuKGOFK-dYXU-m4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/keystone-xl-pipeline-decision-bombshell-political-issue-223500044.html">Keystone XL Pipeline Decision Is Bombshell Political Issue - Yahoo!

What's different now is that Republicans Gingrich and Perry are telling them they're right. <br /> <br /> Days before the New Hampshire primary, Perry joined Gingrich in condemning Romney's involvement with Bain Capital, a venture capitalist firm with more successes than failures. <br /> <br /> Gingrich's intellectual prestidigitation only tricked himself, and damaged his reputation among GOP conservatives.

Fine was fired Sunday and Boeheim says it the right thing to do. <br /> <br /> Why didn't the recording surface earlier? <br /> <br /> (click on the headline to learn more)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5896633240397735144-6343045585304723276?l=moeursalen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PoliticalAndSocialNewsViewsAndClues/~4/Fh3kETw0uIc" height="1" width="1"/>moeursalenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03907282479883785050noreply@blogger.com0http://moeursalen.blogspot.com/2011/11/recording-points-to-syracuse-assistant.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896633240397735144.post-73053992255734950392011-11-28T16:14:00.001-05:002011-11-28T16:14:32.648-05:002011-11-28T16:14:32.648-05:00 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qJfkMUReSWFuo7cS90POXly93Cg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qJfkMUReSWFuo7cS90POXly93Cg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qJfkMUReSWFuo7cS90POXly93Cg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qJfkMUReSWFuo7cS90POXly93Cg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/defense-counters-sandusky-child-sex-abuse-charges-190600448.html">Defense Counters in Sandusky Child Sex Abuse Charges - Yahoo!
