It’s finally primary day for Republicans in South Carolina and it looks like years of planning for the campaigns in compitition may all come down to weather. Bad weather.

I cast my vote early, so I won’t be personally going into any polling places, but I plan to scope out some of the Columbia-area precincts to get a feel for voter turnout. That’s assuming I feel like dealing with the cold and rain. I probably also won’t be going to Charleston as planned either.

Anyway, here are my predictions for tonight’s results:

  1. John McCain - 32%
  2. Mike Huckabee - 29%
  3. Fred Thompson - 15%
  4. Mitt Romney - 14%
  5. Ron Paul - 6%
  6. Rudy Giuliani - 2%

    I certainly pray that your predictions are acurate, only in order of the candidates. I would like to think that the South Carolina voters will come out strong and vote for John McCain! He is the only one ready to step into the Presidency and take the helm immediatly. I live in Maine, pushed hard for McCain in NH, and pray that he gets sworn into office.

    McCain’s numbers are the ones going backward in the polls. Fred is gaining and Huck is staying about the same.

    Huck 29%
    Fred 28%
    McCain 25%
    Romney 10 %

    [...] at The Palmetto Scoop some props tonight. In addition to his candidate of choice winning, Fogle accurately predicted the final percentages for the top four candidates down to one point, and he was only off by two [...]
