Nikki Haley Fails To Deliver Home County For Mitt Romney

Haley endorsed Mitt Romney in December nearly two years after he endorsed her. Haley’s popularity has fallen sharply statewide since her November 2010 election. Statewide, it was recently lower than 40 percent. And among GOP primary voters on Saturday, it was under 70 percent, according to exit polling in the Washington Post.

Haley was the only politician with a national profile in South Carolina who risked publicly backing a candidate . . .

For the past two weeks, Haley routinely appeared with Romney at campaign stops, including one Saturday morning at Tommy's Country Ham House in Greenville. But on Saturday, as the disappointing results started coming in, Haley was nowhere to be found . . .

Not only could Haley not deliver South Carolina for the candidate she backed, she also couldn't deliver her county or even her home precinct. The latter two went to Newt Gingrich.

1. She was the kiss of death.

His candidacy was doomed from that moment on.

2. he really is a rube

. . . in so many ways in these two presidential contests he's played in.

He's started doing his best Christie impersonation, recently, mocking the president and so forth. Trying to muss his hair and scuff his shoes to appeal to the ruffians in the republican base. He's way out of his league in trying to out-appeal Gingrich and the rest to the rabid, radicals in the republican party who hate this President enough to attend these early primaries. Worst of all, he's stuck with the rich kid on the block label. The harder he tries to shake it the more folks remind him that he's never been one of them; not even to the republicans he's carried water for all of these years in politics.

3. She also "pulled a McCain"

Here is the video of McCain, I don't see a link for Nikki's comment yet but it just happened a couple days ago.
