It’s a two man race with McCain and Romney. Fred’s all but quit and true conservatives will have a hard time going with McCain because of his support for amnesty. Huckabee lost in SC and will come in fourth in Fla another southern state. He’s done. Rudy waited too long and will come in third in Fla. He’s done. If Romney takes Fla by 2 points or more, he’s got 4 wins and a lot more delegates than McCain. He can spend his way to wins in close super Tuesday states and come in a close second in the other races. After super Tuesday he’ll have a 2-1 lead over McCain in delegates and be well on the way to the nomination. His strong anti-illegal alien stance, business smarts, and positive message will win out over McCain’s amnesty, age, insider image.

Given Mac’s SC win, on Super Tuesday, who can challenge McCain in CA? Romney? Doubtful- even with his bankroll. Huckabee? Now now.

Kreiz: the question isn’t "one state" it’s several. And yes, Romney’s the only one, logically, who can challenge McCain in many states.

The question is whether Thompson will drop out soon / before Super Tuesday. If he does, Romney will rise in the polls. If Thompson, however, wants McCain to win, he’ll stay in the race for as long as possible.

No, this is a two-men race now. Very clearly. The media want to pretend that McCain is the main man right now, but that’s because they want him to win. The reality is that both Romney and McCain can win.

Nice hit piece on Ron Paul. I have to admit devoting 1/4 of your entire post to a negative opinionated rant on Dr. Paul doesn’t surprise me. Somehow there is a lot of people like you out there that do not want to hear the truth and accept it. There are some issues that all the other ‘candidates’ simply don’t talk about — and when Dr. Paul clearly states them and solutions for them he is treated like this. I shouldn’t have wasted my time commenting, but since I wasted my time reading this I might as well share my opinion as well.

67% of SouthCarolinians voted AGAINST McCain. Huckabee only trailed McCain by 3% of the votes. Thompson’s 16% would have gone mostly for Huckabee. I fail to see how SC reduces the Rep field down to two? Neither McCain nor Romney can win in the General Election. McCain’s Pro Amnesty stance will break him and Romney’s religion, unfortunately, will probably cost him. BTW none of the above are my candidate.
