"Obama's landslide"
As of December 13, 2011 Barack Obama was reportedly beating Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich in the state of South Carolina according to the new NBC/Marist poll. Although the leads are narrow (46-42 over Gingrich and 45-42 over Romney), article writer Michael Tomasky puts emphasis on the fact that South Carolina is an important state in elections and how South Carolina is the home state of a senator (Lindsey Graham) who, just this past Sunday on Meet the Press, was talking nullification of federal laws in the shameful style that is his state’s benighted tradition. Michael Tomasky then goes on to add that if Obama were to win the states of Florida and South Carolina in this upcoming presidential election, then he may win it all in a land slide victory. The author of this article is very much a democrat. He sends shots at the republican party by saying, " Obama could actually win the state? If it happens, we will know that the Republicans are headed off the cliff. And that is precisely where we should all hope they go."
 With this information being told the public it could influence the people of Florida and South Carolina to make it certain that Obama doesn't win the states. We'll see what happens on November 7, 2012
