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.
Endorse Rudy or McCain will be unstopable
I cannot believe the good people of South Carolina got behind this RINO!
Are all the pubbie primaries open to dems and independents?
they’re the only supporters mccain has
Appears GOP voters would rather sell their soul in order to beat Hillary/Obama than stay true to their conservative principles.
As I was listening to talk radio this past week, people calling in saying they have problems with McCain but they would be willing to back him if he can beat the Democrats.
Good Lord, what has become of our election process...our Country?
The MEDIA is electing our President..God help us.
At least he is competitive against Hillary.
“I am glad McCain won, and I hope that Huckleberry goes back to Arkansas soon.”
I’ll second the second half of that!
How sad for the GOP and our country as a whole that a man like McCain is doing this well... Truly a sad state of affairs.
I’m STILL behind Thompson 100%.
We are getting a Rino this year, pick your poison
McCain split the Republican vote with Huckabee in SC
Hey, it’s just as bad as Ron Paul finishing second in Nevada. Turns your stomach, doesn’t it?
Still calling it before the results are in....just as they always do.
That’s what I was thinking exactly — Giuliani??? Surely this guy has no clue.
Worth repeating
“Good Lord, what has become of our election process...our Country?
The MEDIA is electing our President..God help us”
Who's winning in Florida in the latest polls? Please don't say McStain.
CNN’s election technology is VERY impressive! Note to Fox- go high tech please!
Wonder how McCain did so well if illegal immigration was the 2nd most important issue?
This is very disappointing, but it is also unfortunately clear that Fred Thompson helped McCain by treating him with kid gloves while going after Huckabee hammer and tongs. If Thompson were not in the race in South Carolina, it is likely that Huckabee would have won rather than McCain.
