The New York Times editorializes about Newt's big victory in South Carolina last Saturday. According to the editors of "the paper of record" the people of South Carolina have a "...history of acute racial tension..." and that the voters who chose Newt Saturday were "...sending a singular, extreme message?" Read the editorial for yourself but it seems to me they really don't like South Carolinians.
After all, Newt called Obama “the greatest food-stamp president in American history”, an obvious racial slur, and since 40.4% of the people voted for Gingrich we're obviously racist as well. Racist and contrarian! Contrarian might fit the good people of this state. Heck, I think being a bit of a contrarian is a good thing. I could argue that the opposite of a contrarian might be a mindless robot! And I suppose there are racists in every state. But is this a state full of bigots and racists?
I think we can get to the bottom of this by answering one simple question. What kind of governor would a state full of racists elect? The answer......

| Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley |
Yes, Nikki Haley, second Indian-American governor in U.S. history, currently the youngest governor in America and the first female governor of South Carolina (full bio here).
Seems like an odd choice for a bunch of racist, backwoods rednecks! I suppose that's our contrarian side coming out again!
P.S. It seems that one of the other well-known left leaning media outlets didn't get the memo about the bigoted morons living in South Carolina....
