FOX News Poll: McCain Takes The Lead In S.C.
WHILE ROMNEY, IRONICALLY, BECOMES LATEST NORTHEASTERN LIBERAL TO “SNUB” SOUTH CAROLINA
FITSNews - January 10, 2008 - According to the results of a FOX News poll released today, Arizona Senator John McCain has taken the lead in South Carolina, opening up a seven-point margin over former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
McCain is at 25%, according to the poll, followed by Huckabee at 18%. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who has pretty much pulled up his stakes here in South Carolina, came in third at 17%, followed by Fred Thompson (9%), Rudy Giuliani (5%) and Ron Paul (5%).
Polls haven’t been entirely consistent this election cycle, of course, but there’s no doubt at this point that Romney is giving up on the Palmetto State. Snubbing it, some might say. And to be perfectly honest, Thank God. As it turned out, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t turn a Northeastern liberal into an acceptable choice for Southern conservatives. They sure got rich trying, though …

No drilling for oil in Alaska’s barren ANWAR preserve…
Amnesty for all illegals…
Rejection of President Bush’s conservative judges…
McCain-Feingold speech restrictions…
Do Teddy Kennedy and McCain disagree on anything?

LOL, the northeast liberal would be John McCain! And the money DOES seem to be working.

I am a huge fan of Sen. McCain, and I believe he is a true American hero. But he lost my support for President when he proposed his immigration “reform” bill.
Fred Thompson is the only real conservative running. He is a federalist and believes in limited government. He supports the 2nd Amendment and the rest of the Constitution. He understands economics and why the American people should be deciding how to spend their money, not having Washington spend it for them. He is strong on national defense and understand the threat caused by global terrorism. He is pro-life and always has been.
Fred Thompson is the conservative choice, hands down!
