I read in another thread that Democrats are allowed to vote in the GOP South Carolina primary. What the heck?!?!?

Why are Republicans letting DemocRATS and the liberal media select our nominee? South Carolina is meaningless.

I don’t believe that labelling all these candidates “RINOS” is constructive.

Two of them aren't RINOs.

Just returned from voting. Drove past two other polling places on way back from store. Looks like ppl are voting early in the day because of the snow forecast. I would say turnout this morning was moderate.
Most ppl who are passionate for their candidate will vote early. This will favor Thompson. Those that are undecided, will probably not go out in the weather. There was alot of undecided in the last polls and when I was calling this week for Fred.
Right now, in the Upstate it will start snowing by noon, so if you haven’t gone and voted, get out before then.

what in the hell are you thinking?

I'm thinking...well, what I said in my post.

As much as I regret it, those "dubious polls" all say the same thing: Fred has moved up, but not nearly enough. Is a miracle possible? Yes. But it doesn't look likely. :(

Given that, the most disastrous outcome would be a McCain victory. The media coronation train will be hard to stop.

Thus, I figure a Huck win in SC is the best we can expect today. Huck will never be the nominee. We can stop him in later states.

So, as I said before, that's what I'm thinking. Doesn't have anything to do with "letting the MSM" do my thinking for me.

Just saw, on Fox News, a discussion about each of the candidates supporters and how they thought their candidate was going to do. They showed a graphic that had 78% (the highest % on the graphic)of Fred's supporters positive he would win. Hucksters supporters were at 53% which was the lowest % of all the candidates.

I hope this turns out to be correct!

GO FRED GO

The media would make a caricature of Huckabee before the general election - we would have to brace for a Democrat landslide victory
