Newt Gingrich completed a stunning comeback last night and won the South Carolina primary by over 10 percentage points, raising fresh doubts about how the nomination will play out.

CNN lists five things we learned and has the result of a small poll of some SC political insiders.

One of the reasons Gingrich may have won (according to the exit polls) was that people perceived him as more electable.  Polls of hypothetical general election match-ups say otherwise.

Before Wendsday's internet blackout, public statements by Congressmen/women were overwhelmingly supportive of SOPA and PIPA, but afterwards they were overwhelmingly negative

Mitt Romney called for the release of the records of Newt Gingrich's reprimand by the House, but the full report is already available online here.  Meanwhile, Romney will now release his 2010 tax return on Tuesday.

Here's an interesting piece on why Apple, and other companies, have outsourced virtually all of their manufacturing to China and elsewhere.
