Well i guess mike huckabee will screw that up, because trust me, he will NOT be the next president.
""South carolina historically picks the next president"
Not this time around. The delegates will be proportionately divided by placement in the race for individual states. It's not as much a race for states as it is for delegates.
Was he holding a gun to the heads of those who voted for him?
Congratulations to Huckabee. Who will stop him from winning South Carolina' primary..
Bachmann? Pawlenty? Ronmey?
"Congratulations to Huckabee. Who will stop him from winning South Carolina' primary."
