OFFICIAL SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY THREAD

[vikingd00d]

Today is the day.

[Miss Didi]

I just caught that story on Fox. Does Bubba have to insert himself into every news cycle or what? It’s all about me, me, me...

[visualops]

Oh Lord, may every undecided reach that conclusion!

[HelloooClareece]

Hispanics and African-Americans don’t mix well. I see it every day. The pundits don’t take it into account though.

[bluebeak]

Fox News totally dissing Fred ... media trumping up SC race as McCain against Huckleberry ...

and basically saying the #1 issue is the economy.

So, my question is ... in a state like SC ... why the heck would it be McCain or Huckabee with the economy as the #1 issue? WTF has happened to the GOP? GOP has gone stupid (RINO) and our easily manipulated by the media?

[DonnerT]

BIll Clinton on FOX...jimminy, he has a BIG ole zit on his lip. Ewwwww.

South Carolina————State Rep wants Horry election official fired. 3:37pm

[MitchellC]

I put out two Fred signs at the front of the neighborhood last night. This morning, both were down. The stake for one was still there, but the sign was nowhere to be found. The other stake was broken at the ground. So I could only put one back up. New Huckabee and Romney signs appeared across the street overnight, so I’m betting it was one of them that did it.

Yes, I put a number of signs throughout York county a month ago, and have checked on them periodically. I checked again yesterday morning and virtually all of them were gone.

I was told at the event in Rock Hill this week that signs were being stolen almost as soon as they went into the ground. I've also been told from someone working with the Paul campaign that their signs have been disappearing and Huck and Romney signs appearing in their places.

What time do the polls close?

Polls close at 7pm. Then the voting machines need to be transported back to the county election office where the votes are pulled from each machine and tabulated.

I expect we'll see the first results around 7:45-8pm

[Shelayne]

I wouldn’t doubt it.

Thank YOU for your votes for FRED! I am praying that he leaves the MSM (yes, including FOX News) absolutely jaw-droppingly, head-scratchingly, eyes-bulgingly stupefied.

It is a moment I highly anticipate.

“Hispanics and African-Americans don’t mix well. I see it every day. The pundits don’t take it into account though.”

They do when it comes to voting for Democrats. In 2006, 69% of Hispanics and 89% of blacks voted Democrat and Hispanics and blacks are aligned in the Democrat’s Congressional Hispanic/Latino Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus.

Voting Machine Problems Due To Operator Error

[visualops]

Pretty good article. Makes me feel pretty good about Fred. I didn’t know that about the USA Today Q&A. I hope alot of folks discovered Fred is their guy.

[BnBlFlag]

Didn’t the “Upstate” used to be called “Upcountry”?

[SE Mom]

I - and apparently a lot of other FReepers- given what I’ve read recently- have switched to CNN.

FOX is simply NOT to be trusted anymore. For whatever reason -FOX has made what appears to be a decision to eliminate Fred from the running.

[luvie]

GOP has gone stupid (RINO) and our easily manipulated by the media?

In a word....yes.

[visualops]

From your lips to God’s ears!

[vamoose]

True, but Hispanics (14%) are canceling out most of Obama’s advantage with A-A voters (15%) and white voters (66%) are overwhelmingly for Hillary.

[Miss Didi]

You mean “Huck & Friends?” I awoke to...”Good morning, this is Fox & Friends, stay tuned for Mike Huckabee up in 5 minutes...” (click)

Did anyone hear Dr. K last night on the Panel? He said that if McCain wins in SC, he IS the nominee.

South Carolina Primary Results:

McCain 27%
Huckabee 26%
Thompson 18%
Romney 16%

It’s going to look something like that from what I’m hearing. :-( :-(..

[Forgiven_Sinner]

“Your scale is not specific.
“Let me offer a different scale.
“10 thru 0 on LIFE
“10 thru 0 on LIBERTY
“10 thru 0 on PROPERTY

“Reagan is an 897
“BushW is 754
“McCain is 512
“Hillary is 021

“How would you rank others on this sort of system?

Pretty cool. I’ll have to guess what you mean here:
LIFE: Abortion and war on terror defense
LIBERTY: Constitutional support
PROPERTY: Taxes, Crime and immigration

Using that interpretation, let’s do Reagan first:

Life: 9 Strong against Abortion and cold war. Could have sponsored or supported an anti-abortion amendment.
Liberty: 10 Strong support for small government, cutting taxes, fighting communism.
Property: 8 Strong on taxes and crime, but compromised on immigration in the original amnesty bill.
=720

Now Fred:
Life: 9 anti-abortion, anti-terror
Liberty: 6 - Supported McCain Feingold, but pro-gun, small government
Property: 9 - anti-tax, anti-illegal immigration, small government
486

Now Romney
Life: 6 - Now anti-abortion, but was pro-abort in MA, anti terror
Liberty: 7 - Pro-gun now, small government now
Property: 6 - anti-tax now, but supported health care in MA
252

The others aren’t worth rating.
