It's Raining in SC...

Admittedly, my main focus here isn't on the GOP, but the Republican primary is today. Conventional wisdom says that rain is good for Huckabee, bad for McCain. The evangelicals make it out to vote rain or shine. Could rain really matter? I mean snow I understand, but really... a little rain?

Yes, really. Case in point, the gentleman I just met with, Keith Riddle, his mother lives in Myrtle Beach, is a a die-hard Republican voter and recently settled on McCain as her choice. She told him last night, if it was raining today, she wasn't going to the polls.

"'I called her this morning and said, 'You up? Okay, get in the car and go vote,'" says Riddle.

If you're interested in learning more about Huckabee, here's some stuff we dug up. He's been tacking even more conservative here in SC, calling for constitutional amendments not just to ban gay marriage but also abortion.
