I’m going to bed knowing Fred is staying. I’ll be dreaming of ways to teach evangicals that Huckster is bad, and The Fred is good.

It looks like Fred is going to keep his 300 vote lead. With just 7% left to count I doubt anything will change.

Question: Fred slips into fourth?
Answer: No.

NONE.

Since 1980, no candidate has won the Republican nomination for president without winning South Carolina’s Republican primary. We pick presidents.

Interesting quote from the South Carolina head Repub guy:

Dawson: The South Carolina Republican party’s First-In-The-South presidential primary has grown in significance over time. Since 1980, no candidate has won the Republican nomination for president without winning South Carolina’s Republican primary. We pick presidents.

Slublog’s update over at AoS encouraged me some. He’s been on the fence, but he saw this as the right time to jump on the Thompson truck.

The networks are reporting ENTRANCE polls. The actual election results may change the close race between McCain and Thompson.
