but sometimes I wonder about the people who live there, especially since so many think that corrupt, morally bankrupt louse could beat Obama. Especially after all the race-baiting and classist comments.

They have no idea of reality. It's Rush and Fox News 24/7 for them.

48% of voters in a solid red state believe that the man a very solid plurality of voters believe that he can beat a President they consider the most left-wing man to have either left the womb.

If 48 percent of South Carolina's Republican voters think that Newt could beat President Obama, I say let them enjoy their illusions. In fact, I'd say let them enjoy their illusions all the way to Election Night in November.

It would be interesting to learn the demographics of the people polled. I could see all Republican voters in SC saying this, but not a representative sample of the entire state.
