Today is the day.
The wings beat me.
Surrender.
You’ll enjoy the video in post 606.
Can you believe the Gall?
I will do the same!
Unspun and the populist “Huckleberry Hounds” pinged at 603 have drunk Huck’s juice bigtime. No amount of facts will persuade them differently. Good thing none of their rhetoric will influence anyone at FR.

Mid-Day Round-Up In SC
In Upstate, where rain is expected to turn to snow later today, the AP reports that “polling officials around the state said they believed turnout in some areas was heavy early because of the forecasts.” Mauldin, SC (Greenville County), poll manager Marsha Christian: “We’ve been busy all morning. I think people are coming early because of the snow.”
And in Horry County (Myrtle Beach), Election Commission spokesman Chris Whitmire said that voters who were unable to use malfunctioning voting machines, could use “a napkin, a paper towel” to write the name of a candidate and put it in a ballot box.http://www.goupstate.com/article/20080119/NEWS/500221284/1051/NEWS01
The State reports low voter turnout at “a couple of the larger Lexington County precincts,” and frustrated voters who were “surprised to find their polling places closed.”
Mike Huckabee”created quite a scene” at a polling place in Richland County this morning, as “about 30 people, mostly media members crowded around Huckabee” and later “ blocked traffic as they followed Huckabee across the street, where he greeted campaign workers.”
John McCain “made an appearance” at West Ashley Middle School where he greeted “about three dozen supporters for 10 minutes.” http://www.thestate.com/presidential-politics/story/289878.html

Without a doubt, Huckabee is the most dishonest campaigner in either party. All the dirty tricks and lies that surrounded his campaigns in Arkansas have surfaced again in IA and SC.
Huckabee’’s only honest statement so far is that he “must have done something right” to be re-elected twice in a Democratic state. The “something right” that he did was running his office like a Democrat and his campaigns like a Clinton.

I can’t believe it- but you’re right.
I heard Greg Kelly this morning on FOX dismissing Fred with utter contempt, said something like he’d be lucky to come in a distant 4th. FOX is all McCain-all Huck all the time..
I have found myself watching CNN a lot more recently- and NO ONE is more surprised than I am!
I predict Fred, Huckster, Romney and so on.
Geez it kills me that the South can be fooled by a fake like Huck.
What’s up with that?
Like Huck could be Obama or sHillary.
Hey. It stopped being FLA long ago. :)
Its FL now, and the wife and I have already voted for Fred.
Autographing a Bible? That is just crass and wrong.
... got a call from “Common Sense”, stating that Huck is ahead in the early exit polls and that I should go and vote for him....
very common scents...like what you’re likely to step in a barnyard. Sniff, shiff.

Yep, first they pushed Rudy constantly, but when that didn’t work, they’ve moved on to McCain.
Hi John,
Julie Banderas to Mike Barone, “Does Fred have a chance if he doesn’t win today”?
beotch.
Would you show me in there where it says the Government is supposed to control what I eat and whether I chose to smoke? Since the Huckster is in favor of Big Daddy Government controlling my behavior.
Remember after Michigan, Huckabee (jokingly?) told people in SC who were not voting for him to stay home, and told people if they knew anyone who was going to vote against him to slash their tires.
Barf!
These people who support Huck, sure can’t remember Jimmy Carter’s administration.
Odd how a Baptist minister totally fails to grasp that You personally, not the Govt, are your brothers keeper.
I cast my vote for Fred this afternoon in Myrtle Beach. Let’s hope he does well!
“I don’t believe that labelling all these candidates “RINOS” is constructive.”
May not be, but certainly accurate for McCain, Huck and Guilliani for sure! As for Romney, I just wished I could be sold on his “foxhole conversion.”
