McCain, Huckabee Neck and Neck in South Carolina

Thursday, January 17th, 2008
The numbers:

– McCain, 27 percent.

– Huckabee, 25 percent.

– Romney, 15 percent.

– Thompson, 13 percent.

– Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, 6 percent.

– Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, 5 percent.

– Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, 1 percent.

– Undecided, 8 percent.

The poll also found that the economy is tops on the minds of voters in South Carolina, as it was in Michigan. Voters who said the economy was the most important issue split between McCain, 29 percent, and Huckabee, 24 percent, with 17 percent going for Romney.

The State

Thompson isn’t going to pull this off.  He has too much of a deficit to make up with just two days left.  If it’s between McCain and Huckabee then I hope it’s McCain that comes out on top.
