McCain Comes Out On Top On Saturday, South Carolina voters casted their votes in the state's Republican Primary. After a bitter defeat eight years ago to then-Texas Governor George W. Bush, John McCain came away with the win. Here were the results:
- McCain: 33%
- Huckabee: 30%
- Thompson: 16%
- Romney: 15%
- Paul: 4%
- Giuliani: 2%
Some say the results may narrow the field slightly. Personally, I feel Fred Thompson is done, and it's just a matter of time until he announces that. Also, I don't see how Mike Huckabee can become the nominee because many states coming up are not necessarily in his playing field. He'll probably stay long though, just to be considered a running mate (maybe to McCain).
They all go to Florida next, where Rudy Giuliani has practically lived for about a month. McCain has shown strength in the state, and it may come down between the two. I don't see how Giuliani could really be the nominee if he were to loose Florida. If McCain wins, he would probably be seen as the front-runner.
Mitt Romney shouldn't be forgotten either. He leads in delegates, but I think he faces a very tough road ahead. We shall see.
