McCain received only 33% of the vote. Huckabee 30% with Thompson getting 16% and Romney 15%. Romney did very little campaigning in SC. I can tell you after spending four days in SC travelling all over the state following mostly McCain and to some extent Huckabee, Romney had more of chance of picking up Huckabee’s votes than McCain. 67% of the vote went to candidates other than McCain.
Sorry, in SC, if Huckabee weren’t in it his voters would have went to Fred.
But thats just not how it happened. Huckabee did have a right to run didn’t he? I just don’t see the sense in saying if someone else wern’t in it, my guy would have won.
Pointless.
