Sen. John McCain won Saturday's South Carolina Republican presidential primary, AP projects.
Fox News and NBC News exit polls ranked the economy as the top concern among South Carolina primary voters, followed by illegal immigration, the war in Iraq, and terrorism.
Columnist and Weekly Standard Editor William Kristol commenting on Saturday's results on the Fox News Channel said that the Republican field is now winnowing down to just three viable candidates: McCain, Mitt Romney, and Rudy Giuliani.
:-) when Huckabee and Ron Paul drop out,I will feel some respect has returned to the Republican Party.
If the choice is McCain or Huckabee... McCain wins hands down.
There will be no more Reagan's, Hunters, Thompsons or Tancredo's.
I find it unacceptable that I should vote for Dem lite to beat a Dem.
That's what's watered down conservative principles to the point that we're at now.
I can’t believe Ron Paul finished second in Nevada! WHAT’S HAPPENING??!!!
Giuliani is not viable candidate. To even suggest he is ridiculous.
Mark Levine endorsed Fred and i was very happy to hear that.
I understand Rush not wanting to influence the process however at this point it could use a little influence. I have no idea who he is for at this point.
On a side note, This is another primary where non republicans can vote. I think that’s the problem.
Paul spent a lot of money out there.
Ron and Romney were the only ones out there campaigning.
Im sorry he’s more viable than McLame.
JMO
Romney? He won’t win against the Clinton machine.
Not so soon. Romney was wearing a plaid shirt tonight and acting very amiable and relaxed. America has nine months to get acquainted with this hunk heck of a candidate.
We settled for Dem lite in Bush 1 and ended up with Souter.
He has been and is a LOSER. He just hung on long enough to assure his buddy McCain won South Carolina. We'd been better off if Newt Gingrich had run than the great "conservative" dope Fred Thompson.
Wrong!
In SC you have to be a Republican to vote today!
Ode Tae A Fart
Oh whit a sleekit horrible beastie
lurks in your belly after the feastie
Jist as you sit doon amang yer kin
There starts tae stir an enormous win’
*****************************
The neeps ‘n’tatties ‘n’ mushy peas
Start workin’ like a gentle breeze
But soon the puddin’ wi the sauncie face
Will hae ye blowin ‘a’ ower the place
******************************
Nae matter whit the hell ye dae
A’bodys gonny huv tae pay
Even when ye try tae stifle
It’s like a bullet oot a rifle
*************************
Ye hawd yer bum ticht tae the chair
An try tae stop the leakin’ air
Shiftin’ yersel fae cheek tae cheek
An pray tae god it disnae reek
***************************
But aw yer efforts go asunder
When oot it comes, a clap ‘o thunder
Richochets aroon the room
Michty me a sonic boom!
******************************
God Almichty it fairly reeks
Hope a huvnae shit ma breeks
Tae the bog a better scurry
Aw whit the hell, it’s no ma worry
****************************
A’body roon aboot me chokin’
Wan or twa ur nearly boakin
A’ll feel better fur a while
Canny help but raise a smile
*************************
“Wis him!” I shout wi accusin’ glower
Alas too late, he’s just keeled ower
“Ye durty bugger!” they shout and stare
A dinna feel welcome any mair
****************************
But where ye go ,let yer win’ gang free
Sounds like jist the job tae me
But whit a fuss at Johnny's party
Owe the sake ‘O’ wan wee farty.
( P.S. Thankyou Duncan Hunter!)
They are split. I talked to so many people who said they liked Thompson but he was “too late” or that they voted for McCain because of his service. The one old guy told me “I didn’t fight for illegal aliens to take over”. He voted for McCain though his second choice was Thompson.
Giuliani’s counting on the re-located NY voters to pull it out but I doubt that’ll be enough. It’s going to be either Romney or McCain.
Enough with the same-spiel spam. McCain has a stink to him, but he is hands down preferable to ANY Democrat (not to mention Huckabee, Romney, and Rudy). Good God, if he had been in charge, Iraq WOULD have been a freakin’ cakewalk because he would have committed sufficient troops to get the job done.
It must’ve been 82% on Faux News...the 8 looked like a 3 on my TV.
McCain, Willard nor Giuliani will get my vote.
