Thompson in 2nd Place in South Carolina
Here comes the surge: Rasmussen Reports released their latest South Carolina poll. Fred has vaulted into a statistical tie for second place.
...
South Carolinians know a consistent conservative when they see one. Fred has been working hard on his bus tour to talk directly to voters. It also doesn’t hurt to have a dominating debate performance. Of course, the tie is a statistical tie, but given the recent movement in the polls, conservatives are certainly choosing their horse.
A strong 2nd-place finish in South Carolina could very well be enough to keep Fred Thompson alive as the conservative contrast to McCain, Romney, or Giuliani. A win in South Carolina would vault Thompson to front-runner status... thus evicting the ghosts imposed upon him by a somewhat hostile drive-by media.

If FDT pulls off a South Carolina win, this will have a huge impact in Florida and could very well vault Fred to the top in Florida. Iowa, NH, Michigan and Nevada are irrelevant to Florida, but South Carolina will have a big impact on Florida: north of I-4 (interstate that runs east-west from Tampa to Orlando) and sourthwest near Naples and Ft. Myers.
Romney would be done, Huck would be done with an FDT win in SC. So, in FLA, it would be down to Rudy, McCain and FDT. Only one true conservative among those three.
...this having been said, D.J.'s prediction of a convention where the nominee is not known is entirely plausible!
