The RealClearPolitics average of polls in South Carolina has Thompson virtually tied with Mitt Romney for third place, well behind John McCain and Mike Huckabee.

Pity. Fred should have done better in SC.

“The RealClearPolitics average of polls in South Carolina has Thompson virtually tied with Mitt Romney for third place, well behind John McCain and Mike Huckabee.”

The only problem with the RCP average is that they do not take into consideration last minute leanings or surges. It is clear that Fred has some momentum. Don’t know how much, but it is there. My read is that there were still lots of people who had not fully made up their minds. I am confident that he will do well enough to “buy a ticket” to FL and beyond, but only time will tell.
