Fox News: McCain Ahead In South Carolina, With Many Still Undecided
The new Fox News poll gives John McCain a decent lead in the South Carolina primary, with little overall change from last week's poll:
McCain 27% (+2)
Huckabee 20% (+2)
Romney 15% (-2)
Thompson 11% (+2)
Paul 4% (-1)
Giuliani 3% (-2)
The undecided number is awfully big in this poll, weighing in at 19%, so anything could happen.

Laughing, they have Paul at 4% they have to square that analysis with the results to date.
McCain 27% (+2)
Huckabee 20% (+2)
Romney 15% (-2)
Thompson 11% (+2)
Paul 4% (-1)
Giuliani 3% (-2)
I'll have to ping this later~
My bet:
McCain 32%
Huckabee 30%
Romney 18%
Thompson 11%
Paul 6%
Giuliani 3%
Anything could happen? Technically so, but a 7-point lead is very hard to erase. I think McCain is going to take this one.

Looks like a ten point victory for McCain---and trouble for Obama, unless the democrats start thinking in terms of who can beat McCain in November. Right now, the independents who vote for mcCain take strength away from obama---but Hillary will have less chance of getting independent votes in the general election.
