Fred update: He’s staying if he finishes third in SC; Update: Fred third in SC
Hot Air ^ | January 19, 2008 | Allahpundit

Watch as the goalposts move before your very eyes, with less contested southern states like Georgia and Tennessee now the benchmark for voter enthusiasm.

Third in SC is very much a possibility, of course — but early indications from Carl Cameron are not good.

Politico says he sounds wistful on the trail today while the NYT seizes one last opportunity to snark. “Amen! Tell the truth, Fred! Amen!”

Update: Victory in defeat:

Over the past month, Huckabee first surged in polls of South Carolina Republicans, from fifth place to, for a time, a solid first place. Over the past two weeks, however, he has fallen behind McCain, largely for two reasons: McCain got a major boost from his January 8 New Hampshire win, and the struggling campaign of Fred Thompson made a last ditch effort to get on track here. While well behind and tied for third place with Romney, Thompson did make gains, and the data suggest that virtually every point Thompson picked up came out of Huckabee’s hide.

That was a great speech. It’s telling that Fox cut away to a Romney interview while CNN stuck with it.

I am looking forward to Rush ripping SC for supporting McPain and the Huckster. Its about time for Conservatives to leave the GOP and star a new party.Let the RINOs get beat up by Hitlery in November.

“Its about time for Conservatives to leave the GOP “

Many of us said that 16 years ago, and did.

I honestly expected more from S Carolina, but having lived in southern Kansas for 4 years I’m forced to conclude that I just can’t trust the political judgment that comes out of the Bible Belt....sad but true.

We survived Carter. If we can’t survive a Hillary presidency then this country wasn’t as strong as I thought.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We could make excuses for electing Carter, if this nation elects the creature from Arkansas it will be proof that the electorate is collectively too stupid to come in out of the rain and that is what we cannot survive. It will mean that she is just one of many to come until it all ends in total disaster.

All I can say is, Clinton got elected—twice. I don’t care about that “well, he didn’t get a majority” crap. He got enough votes to win two elections. Any more questions about the collective intelligence of the electorate?? LOL
