Vitali said, “In terms of the new reporting we have, and I’m right outside her campaign headquarters, I’m told by a campaign source that the mood inside – and this might surprise you – is jubilant, and throughout the day, I have heard the phrase ‘happy warrior’ from all of these folks that are either getting out the vote for Nikki Haley in these waning hours of Super Tuesday or who are hunkered down after traveling to over seven or eight states in just as many days these last week-and-a-half.
