92% reporting:

Newt 40% (Declared winner)

Romney 27%

Gingrich sweeps every county in SC except for three, and won every income bracket except for $250,000+ (according to exit polls)

All I can say, is...AMEN. The media attempt to pick the GOP nominee failed.
Even though ABC launched a smear campaign just before the vote, it failed.
The people ignored the media and voted their own way.

this shows that Romney is not inevitable. We still have a choice and we are not stuck with a man chosen by the opposition party.

I disagree on the media's failure, they gave us a crap field. And they are not done pushing Mittens on us.

Chart and results by county at.....

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2012/jan/22/south-carolina-primary-data-mapped?newsfeed=true

Make that 3 counties...Charleston, Beaufort and Richland. They are the richest and most liberal(elitist) counties in the state.

The counties with the lowest turnout are the poorest and the most democratic counties in the state due to the population being majority black.

I had figured that Charleston in the low country and Greenville in the upstate area would go for Mitt. I was surprised to see I was wrong about Greenville.

i wanted to see how the delegate numbers added up. i figured iowa would have the least of the 3 states (i didnt know there were 3million iowans). i was wrong.

Santorum 28 (iowa 3mill)
Newt 25 (S.C 4.6 mill)
Romney 12 (N.H. 1.3mill)

why does iowa get so many?

Yay! So instead of being stuck with a Massachusetts liberal we will be stuck with a Georgia liberal.  :-)

They don't, but NH lost half their delegates and Iowa is not a winner-take-all state.

now im confused. how does a state lose their delegates?

and iowa is not a winner take all... that means they get handed out proportionally to the votes they got??? so romney and santorum will have the same amount and paul a little less than them?

I believe they tried to push up the date of the primary and the RNC penalized them for it.
