Coming just weeks after the strange tilt in the Iowa Caucus, comes claims of potential fraud in the South Carolina GOP primary.
Brandon Turbeville writes:
"Although no one is pointing fingers at the Gingrich campaign, or any other campaign at this point, the anomalies that are arising from the accounts of eyewitnesses call into question the certainty and the credibility of the final count in South Carolina.
At this time, the most serious questions are centered around the precincts in Pickens County. It was in this precinct that Chris Lawton, representing the Paul campaign, came to the Pickens County elections office to witness the vote certification and noticed a series of situations that were either in direct opposition to State voting laws, or, at the very least, highly questionable."
What Lawton details does seem to be a series of odd departures from expected procedure. We'll keep an eye on this one.

Newt Wins SC - Which Is Flat Out Nuts
Jan 22nd, 2012
There's a line from Robert Towne's "Chinatown" screenplay that sums up Newt's victory in the South Carolina GOP primary perfectly:
While some pundits are still treating this as a horse race, the latest Newt "surge" is more significant.

What Newt Winning South Carolina Will Mean
Jan 20th, 2012
by F. Grey Parker
I think it's clear that Newt is going to win the South Carolina Primary.
There you go. I am all in. I thought there was every reason to believe Santorum could take Iowa and, now, it's been reported that he actually did.
(I would love to see that kind of vote counting mix-up in an interparty contest met by so many GOP yawns. But, that is another story.)
In the first Public Policy Polling score ahead of the South Carolina primary, Newt was beating Romney by 6 points. After last night's "debate" and Romney's mind-blowingly poor performance, those numbers have pretty much held.
