Newt Gingrich won over South Carolina’s conservative voters this past weekend. Mitt Romney had performed strongly in the past two match-ups – Iowa and New Hampshire – but just couldn’t shake the Newt in the Palmetto State.
Twitter lit up in response:

RTDear South Carolina, assuming Newt wins, *thank you* for giving the finger to the DC-GOP set who’ve tried to force Romney on us.
40% of married women voters in South Carolina went for Newt. The other 60% are his exes.
Congratulations to all Democrats for Newt’s victory in South Carolina.
Newt Gingrich has always thought that voters are stupid. The voters of South Carolina proved him right.
@LOLGOP: South Carolina voters respect how Newt Gingrich defines marriage as between a man and a woman who does not have cancer.

You can’t make this stuff up.Of course Newt won South Carolina! It’s an “open primary state,” if you know what I mean.
