Political betting markets give Romney a 69% chance of winning South Carolina.

I wouldn't want to bet on any of these jokers.

Judging from the reactions, Newt's attacks on Romney about Bain are backfiring.

I'm loving them.  But it doesn't matter that they're backfiring.  Gingrich isn't trying to win, he's trying to destroy Romney.  So they may be hurting him, but so long as they're not helping Romney he'll be happy.

Perry's picking them up too - he actually campaigned in SC in a town with business shut down by Bain.

I like Huntsman's attack in the morning debate - it's one of the few moments Huntsman's managed to cut through and his skills as a campaigner (and debater) seem to have improved most over the campaign.

Murdoch still seems to have it in for Romney.  He's praised Paul and Santorum, and said if Huntsman or Santorum get over 15% they'll do well enough to carry on.  For me I think if Romney's anywhere near the 31.5% he won last election (when he lost New Hampshire) then I think, even if he wins, people should be asking questions about his campaign.

The most important thing: Presidential daughters.



Romney: No daughters. Fail right out of the gate.




Perry:



Sydney Perry




Bachmann:


Elisa and Caroline Bachmann.




Gingrich:





Kathy and Jackie (married so not Gingrich)




Santorum:



Sarah left Elizabeth right



Paul:


Lori Paul Pyeatt


He's like a million years old, so here's his granddaughters just to be fair.








Huntsman:








Mary Anne, Liddy and Abby Huntsman

(wtf was Colbert doing??)




Cain:





The best I could find with Melanie Cain in it. I know it sucks, so here's a pizza.

We already knew that Huntsman won on this point, dude.  But back in 2000 it was a really tough choice between Bush and Gore.

[MadImmortalMan]

Oh, I don't know. That's a decent looking pizza.

[Phillip V]

Oh, I don't know. That's a decent looking pizza.

Heat it up and it feels the same.

[KRonn]

I saw Huntsman's daughters on CNN with Wolf Blitzer tonight. Seem to be upbeat, fun and intelligent young women.

So now I hope Huntsman gets in as Pres.

Oh, I don't know. That's a decent looking pizza.

Heat it up and it feels the same.

As what?

You have to go back all the way to Ike to find a president who didn't have a daughter.  Romney is doomed.

You have to go all the way back to forever to find a president who is black.  Obama is doomed.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Huntsman's daughters were on campus a few weeks ago.  They made some video poking fun at that creepy sex harassment dude that was pretty funny.

Sydney Perry

Wait, that's the same girl?
