Southern-fried Finale

Today ends the presidential bid of late-arriving Fred Thompson, I predict.

He is out of money having raised less money than either Huck or Ron Paul this month. He is out of wait as this is the state that he was waiting on to win.

His calculation may have worked except for Mike Huckabee. Without the Huckster, Thompson would have been the only southern candidate in a NASCAR state. But you can’t out-southern a Southern Baptist in South Carolina. No, today the big-government preacher will show the more conservative Thompson to the exit. We can only pray that the Huck does so well as to actually win. If the southerners split the southern vote, which is likely, McCain-Feingold marches on.
