@davidaxelrod David Axelrod
@fivethirtyeight Nate, you’re good with math. If you & SuperPac spend $4.7m, and get zero delegates, how much did you spend per delegate? 1 hour ago

Press Release: NOM Congratulates Newt Gingrich on South Carolina Win
January 21, 2012 at 8:21 pm
Former Speaker of the House has signed NOM’s Marriage Pledge
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Brian Brown, the president of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today congratulated GOP presidential contender Newt Gingrich on his victory in the South Carolina primary.
“NOM congratulates Newt Gingrich on his impressive come-from-behind victory in South Carolina.” said Brown. “We have had three different victors in state contests thus far – Rick Santorum in Iowa, Mitt Romney in New Hampshire and now Newt Gingrich in South Carolina. What all these states have in common is that they have picked candidates who have signed NOM’s Marriage Pledge. They are all winners and NOM supports each of them.”
Gingrich, Santorum and Romney have each signed NOM’s Marriage Pledge, which commits signatories, if elected, to taking specific steps toward preserving the institution of marriage as the union between one man and one woman. Rep. Ron Paul is the only remaining Republican presidential candidate not to have signed the pledge, and he is not considered to have any realistic chance of becoming the Republican nominee.
“It is now clear that the Republican Party will nominate a candidate who is strongly committed to preserving marriage as the union of one man and one woman,” Brown said. “We have succeeded in making the preservation of marriage a key issue in this race, and we will continue to do so throughout the primary season, and into the general election against President Obama.”

The Newt-Mitt contest is NOTHING like the Obama-Clinton contest four years ago.
Newt and Mitt are going to destroy each other for the fall.
