Newt Wins. In Other News, I May Have Just Switched Parties for No Related Reason.

Newt wins the SC primary. I'm betting his blunt demeanor towards reporters and questioning may have helped.

I understand how human nature works:
We’ll say that we are principled, that we
Have higher standards for morality
Than all our opposition, and the quirks
That govern our elected are a bane
Upon the human soul if ever in
Elected opposition, or their kin.
The thing that causes our support to wane
Is this, and only this: appearing weak.
We value strength, and for this overlook
A multitude of faults, and if it took
A century, we’d tally all our meek
Humiliations, ready for the day
When we can have our vengeance and our way.

(So we elected Newt.  I hope we can
Remember this if we attack Iran.)
