Why is it always South Carolina where McCain gets shat on?

 

[HornsInTheHouse]

John Kerry redux?

 

[softlynow]

I'm gonna go with South Carolina is evil until someone proves otherwise.

This time 'round I don't think it hurts McCain. He's ready for this fight.

And to transition this to a general Pub-SC thread: what result do we now need to send this puppy careening towards a brokered convention? Another Huckabee revival? Stunning Fred victory? McCain *****-slapping the whisper-campaigners?

Fred could win SC and Rudy could win Florida and it would be chaos.

 

[TahoeHorn]

This is sophomoric you wonder if McCain supporters did it looking for voters to rally around McCain.

It ain't gonna be Thompson in SC. He's running 4th and has been trending down. Huckabee-McCain race, unless Romney gets a Michigan bump, which I doubt.The Link

This can't possibly be as bad as the smear campaign against McCain orchestrated by Bush and Rove in 2000.

Jerry Kiley and Ted Sampley are the kooks who founded Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry, which was a precurser to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

 

[austintexas]

bozo, I'm not finding a link, other than speculation.

 

[yelladawgdem]

For years Sen. McCain was every Democrats favorite Republican. Now we find out he is fraud who has simply been keeping Goldwaters's seat warm. Rebel flag, gay rights, and when he gets near South Carolina he suddenly becomes a Southern Baptist after a lifetime as an Episicipalian.

A guest on NPR observed that it gets nasty in South Carolina because at that point there's a sense of who the front runners are and other campaigns are desperate to establish/regain momentum -- so it becomes a pull-out-all-the-stops situation.
