I suppose likely due to the obviousness of it, but he should still get some credit for the observation and and particularly the sharing of it.
Of course it played a role, much like his chronic lying has for the success of his campaign.
WHat slays me about the ongoing battle over morality between these two, is that they're leaving the repub voter a choice between what they frame the other to be, which the common repub voter will inevitably have no problem with despite the fact. After all the whining about BHO allegedly lying about his birthplace, what he diod or didn't here in his church, and assorted other things they contended should disqualify him from the high office, here they have two contenders engaged in all the unsavory behaviors that shoulda prevented us getting our first black president.

Mitt Romney campaign: South Carolinians voted for Newt Gingrich because they are racistsby Jed Lewison .
Why did Newt Gingrich win South Carolina? According to Romneyworld, it's largely because Republican voters there are a bunch of racists who can't tell the difference between Juan Williams and President Obama:
Romney advisers say the 22-point switch in polls in the state took place after Gingrich's extended tussle with Juan Williams over racial sensitivity. "Williams was a stand-in for Barack Obama in people's minds," said one Romney adviser.
Undoubtedly, Gingrich's defense of his "food-stamp" dog-whistle gave him a big boost in South Carolina, but it wasn't the only thing that figured into his victory. Gingrich's thundering response to John King's question about his ex-wife was also enormously important as was the fact that unlike Florida, Romney was unable to drown Gingrich out in ad spending.
