Actually I think there is something to that statement---and as to why so many pollsters are all wrong so often.
The US is changing right under the feet of the MSM, with all of their models and thoughts and theories.
I personally think South Carolina will become more and more marginalized as to 'importance' as time goes on. Problem is, it will take 4 Presidential elections (20 years) for the MSM to catch on.
South Carolina does not represent the broad electorate of today nearly as much as it might have previously.
Just call it a hunch.
The day of a bellweather State IMO is drawing to a close. Thank goodness.
What will be interesting to see is the raw vote totals from SC, Republican primary vs. Democrat Primary.
From the results yesterday and a larger vote total in the Dem primary, could SC be going blue?
Florida, as a swing state, may make a better make-or-break state. And it will do so this primary season.
If Romney can win Florida, he can come back and win the nomination. If not, then our nominee is John McCain. (I dont think Rudy has a chance, even if he does win Florida).
Same with Hillary v obama.
