John McCain buried the ghosts of 2000 in South Carolina, winning the primary (without an institutional smear merchant like Bush in the race, it was much easier) and winning the expectations battle against Mike Huckabee (who now must explain the rationale as to how he can possibly be nominated president if he cannot win South Carolina, a state that should have been his for the taking...)
Now it's on to Florida, where despite the media's best hopes for Rudy, McCain is now definitely the front runner.Labels: 2008 election, Florida, John McCain, Republicans |
