Senator John McCain today won the State of South Carolina in a closely fought contest with Mike Huckabee. With 93% reporting the breakdown was as follows:
McCain 33%
Huckabee 30%
Thompson 16%
Romney 15%
Paul 4%
Guiliani 2%
McCains win comes in a state that derailed his chances against George W. Bush in 2000, and featured some of the same dirty tactics that helped to hurt McCain back then. His win is huge for his campaign, and gives him some momentum. I believe it is now a two person race between McCain and Romney. Will Rudy Guiliani break five percent any time soon?
