SC: Too Close To Call

Update 9 PM: Still too close to call but it's getting more difficult to see Huckabee catch McCain. But no call from Barone, yet. And he knows this stuff better than I. But it is looking more difficult for Huckabee.

Just want to add - McCain split Republicans with Huckabee. He still can't win the R's which spells trouble down the road.

Update: So far Huckabee isn't carrying Greenville County big, not good for Huck, according to Fox.

Update: Whatever Fox is seeing, it's making this race incredibly close. Don't let the early returns fool you. Evidently, McCain is not pulling away.

Update: CNN is running well ahead of The Politico in terms of percentage of returns.

Update: No announcement either way. In part, a great speech. Guess he just wanted to get to bed. It doesn't sound as though he's going on. Who knows?

Update: Fred's delivering his post-election speech. The tone sounds like he's getting out.

Hot Air has a thread.

I'm checking detailed results at The Politico. Click see detailed results. As you mouse over districts, you'll see early returns are from southern part of the state - McCain country. Huckabee's votes should come from the upper region. On Fox, Barone says early returns seem to validate the exit polls, suggesting a slight win for McCain. But, still too close to call.

BEWARE THE HANGING CHAD!!

The geniuses in Horry County (that's Myrtle Beach to you snow birds) incorrectly installed the electronic machines. So they brought in paper ballots.....but not enough....people were turned away. Fortunately this should be fixed by next Saturday.

Looks like the PROGRESSIVE folks of SC have come to terms with Senor McCain's black babies! Viva el Presidente!!

"come to terms with Senor McCain's black babies."

Dont you wish you could? Just more proof who the racists really are. What is really going to stir your hate filled heart is next week when the brotha walks off with a big ole, huge win down there. Scarry huh?

[BobInStamford]

I don't think that the 'Brotha' or anyone else from the Dem side has to worry when the best you have is a 90 year old man like Juan McCain. Adios, patriots! 'Scarry' indeed!!!

Wow. I guess FRed's resignation is all but a certain thing now.

[BobInStamford]

Fred? Resign? He would have had to have shown up to begin with in order to do that. What an old fool.

Now the Boob reminds me of something when he gets pulls a Sid Vicious like this without any reasonable cause whatever. Now what was it?...What was it? A fat t--d, a greasy td, a yellow td, a reeking td, a puss-filled td, a poisonous td, a slimy td, a rock-hard td, a bubbling td, a fuzzy td, a milky td, a malevolent td, a runny td, a bloody td, a festering td? Yes, one of those.
