The all wise and analytical Jen-Jen Rubin on South Carolina, January 2nd.
Newt Gingrich, who may be headed for fifth in Iowa, is playing a similar game. He says that he’ll rally in South Carolina and Florida. This is even more daft than Perry’s game plan. In South Carolina, it’s hard to see how Gingrich would do any better with evangelicals than he is doing in Iowa (not well at all)....
The Romney camp doesn’t appear to care one way or another whether Gingrich continues. He’s as much a help to Romney (in serving as a useful foil for the former Bain Capital executive) as he is a hindrance. His ability to land rhetorical blows is vastly diminished now that his own character and record have been shredded.
Aside from her usual and now laughable slash and burn antics, should we really be surprised the WaPo's resident conservative genius has suddenly decided South Carolina is a whatever and has moved on to Florida? No, of course not. What's truly laughable is that the WaPo pays our gal Jen-Jen for anything alleged to be analysis. They should make her work in a cheerleader's uniform, though I doubt it would do much to help her main man Mitt.
... next week, whatever the outcome in South Carolina, everyone moves on to Florida and it starts all over again. So who wins Florida, and does that race give the winner a lock on the nomination?
Jen in a cheerleader's uniform? Thanks a lot, Dan, for that indelible mental picture!

If you look at exit polling data, Newt did as well with Evangelicals in SC as Huckabee did in 2008, and that's a big effing deal, as Biden would put it.

If you dont bvleeie that Romney will have a problem with Christians, just ask him if Jesus is the Son of God.
