OFFICIAL SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY THREAD

Today is the day.

Bird, why don't you take a break from "behind enemy lines" as your homepage declares, and breathe the FReep air again?

Then maybe you'll figure out why conservatives like a candidate who gives detailed position papers on the issues, from a FRederalist / Conservative bent.

Cheers!

It’s in the order they’re hoping for, that’s what. Either that, or they can’t read.

[Rational Thought]

The Dems had a primary today in SC, and another one next week in SC.

Fred violated the NO Conservative politicians policy of MSNBC! I hope somebody got that on youtube!

[StarFan]

Thanks so much. Checking it out now.

[Def Conservative]

Ain’t misbehaven’, how you?

...Fred's speech was going NOWHERE, just like his entire campaign.

This from someone in Hollywood. Right.

[Shortstop7]

I can’t tolerate Brit or Fred Barnes any more. Sad, huh?

[Gondring]

Actually, I hope Huckabee pulls ahead of McKook.

I wish we could "drop the two highest grades" :-)

This is going to be one HELL’VA scary election when the *ITCH from HELL can’t even be defeated in NV and SC...UNFREAKIN UNBELIEVABLE! We are ROYALLY screwed! I have lost all hope on the SHE-DEVIL and her DEMON spouse will ever disappear. SHOOT!!

[Hattie]

At least CNN has not been afraid to mention Fred. In fact during the Iowa caucus, they prominently had Fred in third place and talked about it, while that “other” channel only talked about the McCain surge.

CNN has been much fairer to the Reps in all of these primaries so far. I have been watching. Also they have some pretty good pundits much as I hate to admit it. You just have to understand they don't like Reps. But Fox has become worse and claim to be Reps. CNN even reports we have a state called Wyoming.

>>Can anyone explain the order in which the candidates are listed? It’s not alphabetical, it certainly isn’t in the order of number of votes (2, 1, 4, 3...)

Republican Primary Results
Candidate Votes Percent Winner
Mike Huckabee 15,481 30%
John McCain 17,941 34%
Mitt Romney 7,498 14%
Fred Thompson 7,800 15%<<

Maybe that’s the order they expect the finish to be.

“Wow, CNN has eaten Fox.”

Last week in one primary or another, Fox called the R, but continued to alternate between D and R results, it was annoying, so I switched over to CNN for the first time in a long time and they had the results side-by-side. Much more efficient and I stayed over there.

Fox has been getting stale of late in general, can’t quite put my finger on it, but I’ve been hitting CNN since that incident last week and have it on now. Just switched over for a second and Mort was stuttering some of his usual talking points, so went right on back.

I’m not sure what Fox’s game is, they’ll certainly not attract any lefties no matter what they do, so the only likelihood is losing existing viewers. Doesn’t seem too smart to me, but Murdoch is no dummy, so I’m probably wrong.

Nina Easton’s husband works for
the Romney campaign.

Did you hear Major Garret slay him on Laura I the other day. It was blissful!

[LikeLight]

Getting even closer in SC per Brit on FoxNews...

But Fox has become worse and claim to be Reps.

FOX has been taken over by the Liberal Son of Murdoch. That may be what we're seeing now.
