McLAME will never get my vote (Fred/Hunter)

[Cicero]

Ditto.

[svcw]

Rudy - what? he has like one delegate.

[LadyNavyVet]

Dear God, what’s wrong with people!

[AmericanMade1776]

I am glad McCain won, and I hope that Huckleberry goes back to Arkansas soon.

[RasterMaster]

Calling it with 32% of the results in...

[JaneNC]

I don’t think a win in SC means what it has in years past.
Florida is more key this year.
McKennedy, just isn’t the choice of most rank and file Republicans.
Rush is right. Mckennedy and Huck...either or would be the end of the GOP.

I will be very disappointed if Fred endorses that RINO...it would make me think he has been lying .....

[Lib-Lickers 2]

better him than Hillary or the Huckster

GO MITT

[pcottraux]

Gahhh!!!!

[elizabetty]

It is time for the folks on Conservative talk radio to get off their butts and endorse somebody (other than McCain and Huckleberry).

[Aristotelian]

CNN now projects McCain the winner in S.C.

[Aristotelian]

Fox News also says McCain won the SC primary.

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.

[GraniteStateConservative]

At least he is competitive against Hillary.

[LibertyRocks]

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%.

[omega4179]

We are getting a Rino this year, pick your poison

[cpanter]

Wonder how McCain did so well if illegal immigration was the 2nd most important issue?

[Thorin]

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.

[spectre]

I loathe McCain's support of comprehensive immigration reform.

My vote for him would depend on his choice for VP, since I believe McCain's VP stands a good chance of being just one breath away from the Presidency .

If it's Huckabee, I stay home.

South Carolina already officially ended Hunter’s run, and unofficially has taken Thompson as well. 3rd place by some 18-20 points isn’t even close. He hasn’t campaigned heavily in Florida and would be assured a loss even if he did to Giuliani, McCain, and probably Romney as well. If Thompson doesn’t withdraw before Super Tuesday, he will on Drop-out Wednesday.

Both the real conservatives are out.
