Mitt did have a lead in a recent poll in South Carolina. Was 6 points behind Thompson and tied with Giuliani in the most recent South Carolina poll I’ve seen.
Seems to me like Romney is in just as much striking distance in South Carolina as Thompson is in Iowa.
And as the evangelical endorsements start coming in for Romney as I have a feeling they will....
We shall see.
Nice try, except for one problem: Mitt Romney is spending a fortune advertising in both places. Fred Thompson hasn’t spent a dime. YET.
Going with Rasmussen to get a similar sampling, as of 9/30:
Thompson 24%
Rudy 20%
Romney 15%
McCain 10%
Huckabee 7%
(South Carolina)
