The defiant, mean-spirited former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has won the South Carolina Republican primary. So, what's that mean to the GOP? to America? Three GOP primaries. Three different winners. Let me try to sum it up:

(Dallas) Texas Gov. Rick Perry has thrown his ten-gallon hat, cowboy boots and holster into the 2012 presidential campaign. Yee-ha! Another Texan running for the presidency of the United States - just what the nation ordered.  Somewhere in Austin there's a message that says it's OK for any governor from the great state of Texas to leapfrog from the "state house" to the White House. Just call it Texas bravado.
