When Huckabee drops out, Fred will sweep the south. All Fred has to do is beat Huckabee in S Carolina. Huckabee drops out and all the Evangelicals coalesce around Fred, as they should have in the beginning. McCain will never get more than he has now.

Well, Thompson beating Huckabee is still looking quite a tall order. Presumably, in your scenario, if Thompson doesn’t beat Huckabee in SC, then Thompson drops out? I’d be suprised if Huckabee drops out before Super Tuesday though in any event. He doesn’t seem the graceful withdrawal type.
