In a close race, John McCain edged over Mike Huckabee for a big win in South Carolina this Saturday evening. Mike Huckabee was the favorite according to some polls due to his evangelical following; however McCain took advantage of the fact that South Carolina has more retired veterans than any other state in the Union. Aided by the fact that Giuliani chose not to compete in this state, and that Mitt Romney chose to focus on Nevada instead, it would have been a total shock should McCain have lost to the fried squirrel eater.
The results provide for a harsh wake-up call to the Huckabee campaign, which is already polling behind McCain, Giuliani, and Romney in Florida, the next GOP early contest. A win could have propelled him to a close battle in the sunshine state, but a loss in a region so rich with his base is nothing more than a death warrant for the former Arkansas Governor. Unfortunately for America, it looks like Mike won't get the chance to amend the Constitution so that it more closely resembles his interpretation of the word of God.
While Huckabee may still pick up some delegates on February 5th the GOP has now been whittled down to Mitt Romney, John McCain and that guy we have almost forgotten about…Rudy Giuliani.
