Official SC Republican Primary Results Thread

[Joe Biden 2020]

So wait, are we saying that a Thompson drop out would benefit McCain? I would think that people who wanted a dessicated conservative would go for Romney first (not for the dessicated part, just the conservatism).

It would be more logical for Thompson to endorse Huckabee seeing they are just about equal socially.  However, in his interview with CNN's John King last night -- Thompson spent 1 minute killing McCain and 10 minutes against Huckabee.

Oops, my mistake.  Thanks for the correction.

Cheers.  I doubt most people ever have heard it right any more.

MSNBC is still "too close to call..." -_-

The Democratic SC Primary will be a Bloodbath.

[exopolitician]

Just called it for McCain

[Sam Spade]

Counties left:  Aiken 2%, Beaufort 97%, Chesterfield 0%, Dorchester 79%, Greenville 86%,  Florence 0%, Hampton 95%, Horry 0%, Kershaw 41%, Laurens 58%, Lexington 96%, Richland 96%, Spartanburg 96%, Sumter 54%, York 89%.

Think I'm going to revise down to 4%-5% McCain win.

[War on Want]

Still too close to call on CNN.

[Reluctant Republican]

Sweet vindication[for McCain anyway.]

[Joe Biden 2020]

CNN hasn't yet.

[J. J.]

4%

[J. J.]

Down to 3%.

[War on Want]

Now CNN has projected it. Damn.

[Sam Spade]

They're all afraid about the screw-up in Horry to call - otherwise this would have happened much earlier.

[Joe Biden 2020]

 CNN has just called it for McCain

[Person Man]

McCain by 3. I guess we are lovin' it. Does this make McCain the next republican nominee?

[J. J.]

The Death Star just exploded.

May the Force be with always

Now, is Florida Edor or Hoth.

Back up to 4%.

Yes.

It's worth noting that every Republican nominee since Ford has been someone who won either the Iowa or the New Hampshire elections. That does put McCain in the running, but it also means his one opponent is Huckabee - which frankly poses more of a challenge than does Romney.

I would think so, but Romney and Huckabee are stills strong in most of the country. He has got a big fight ahead of him.

Now we get to see whether Giuliani's Florida strategy worked.

York, Spartanburg, Hampton, Greenville and Laurens all in.  Aiken up to 97%.

Every Republican nominee has also won the South Carolina primary, so its looking pretty good for McCain.

[Person Man]

But isn't this the smallest margin that any candidate has won in SC?
