It is said that this years S.C primary set a new standard for the backhand attacks towards each runner of the Presidential election. Mere hours before the voting was to occur, major news hit. As stated in a previous post, Rick Perry withdrew and started backing Gingrich while Gingrich's second wife, Marianne, unveiled a story of how Gingrich initially wanted an "open" marriage. This then led to Gingrich attacking the media. All this within hours of the S.C. primary. While Republicans are typically and hastily labeled as conservative, it's a whole new game when the presidency is on the table. This all goes back to how candidates are portrayed by the media and by the limited speeches and interviews shown to the public. With all this in mind, I wonder who's going to win the primary. I guess we shall see the results soon enough.
