I appreciate your optimism, but if Sen. Thompson loses in Iowa and then in New Hampshire, he essentially MUST win South Carolina. It’s not as long a long shot as the scenario for Sen. McCain to win the nomination, but it looks a lot more realistic for either Guiliani or Romney to win it all.

Do you really see Mayor Giuliani of New York City winning South Carolina? Really?!!

Uh, that goes for your candidate Jiuliette as well, as no one has ever lost SC's primary and gone on to win the GOP nomination for president.
