Sic Willie over at FITSNews has some good predictions on the Republican presidential field in South Carolina following last night’s debate.

On the GOP side it’s Giuliani, McCain and Fred Thompson in the lead pack, Romney and Huckabee in the second grouping and everybody else pretty much using up valuable oxygen on the debate stage.

…

Over a third of registered voters on both sides of the partisan fence remain undecided, and on top of that it’s important to remember that polls at this stage of the race are still largely “preference contests” as opposed to firm commitments.

Still, it’s becoming pretty clear that the field is separating. Among Republicans, we currently give Giuliani, McCain and Thompson each about a 30% chance of winning the GOP nomination, Romney a 7% chance and Huckabee a 3% chance. Nobody else even registers a tenth of a percent. [FITSNews]
