Most South Carolina democrats are black. That’s not typical across the country. I can’t see the racist Democrats nominating a black to be President, even if he is from The Religion of Peace.

Wow!

On the GOP side, Fred Thompson leads his rivals with 27%

But, actually, we've been predicting this for weeks. I'm thrilled at this.

Go FRed!

Crazy. Thompson hasn’t even declared yet, and he’s winning SC? If the guy had been in a debate, they might have impeached Bush and installed him right on the spot.

You might. Romney at 16% is the highest he has polled yet in the Palmetto state.

You got the wrong Carolina, my friend. John Edwards is from North Carolina. This is a poll of South Carolina.

“Gingrich in a debate with whoever the democrats chose as VeeP would be like sending the democrat through a chipper..”

Yeah right. Newt really sent algore through the wood chipper on the global warming scam didn’t he?(sarcasm)

Newt’s treatment of his ill wife and his subsequent affairs outed him for the low class human being and hyocrite he is.

Thompson will NEVER choose Newt as a running mate, thank God.

My gawd, Rudy's in FOURTH place. He can't even top McNutz.

And Fred is nearly double the pack without even entering the race.

McNut down to 15% in the state he’s been working since 2000? In the state he absolutely has to win.

ROTFLMAO! This is excellent.

From the same linked website...

“According to a new Public Policy Polling survey of likely Iowa caucus-goers, John Edwards and Mitt Romney hold double digit leads in the first major contest of the 2008 presidential race.( snip)

On the Republican side, Romney is at the front with 31% support, while Fred Thompson comes in second with 15%, followed by Newt Gingrich with 10%, John McCain with 9% and Rudy Giuliani with 8%.”

Second place in Iowa for Fred now but that will change once the cornhuskers get up to speed.

Rudy is being CRUSHED which is always a good thing.

I hope. The country might be stupid enough to elect Obama. He is Jimmy Carter but with charm.

And of course Fred would crush him :-)

Oh most definatly.

Obama is good at debating other democrats, but when he debated Keyes (who had no shot what so ever of winning), he got crushed.

It didn't matter much, Obama had that election safe and in the bag, but Keyes exposed all of Obama's weak points debating, it was bizarre.
