Mika Brzezinski: “If you were Newt Gingrich, and you had $5M to spend [in South Carolina], would you spend it a different way?”
Joe Scarborough: “Yes. If I had $5 million, I’m going into South Carolina. I know I have to take [Romney] down. I would spend $3 million of that money running ads in the Greenville/Spartanburg area – upstate, the conservative [area], Bob Jones University. It’s where my wife’s from… It is the belt buckle of the Bible belt – I would do nothing, nothing but run 30 second ads over the next 7, 8, 9 days of Mitt Romney in Mitt Romney’s own words on abortion, Mitt Romney in Mitt Romney’s own words on gun control, Mitt Romney in Mitt Romney’s own words on gay marriage, Mitt Romney in Mitt Romney’s own words on being embarrassed to be identified with Ronald Reagan and the Republican Party. This is something that…guts Mitt Romney in South Carolina. I would spend the other $2 million on doing the same in the Lowcountry.
