I certainly hope Thompson shocks us all by winning South Carolina...*chuckles* it might actually be worth campaigning for him to take votes away from Huckabee. I hope Guiliani takes Flordia.
if this happens, there will be no clear front runner by Super Tuesday. This gives us the chance to "push forward" and possibly take a few states (or a chunk of them...dunno).
What I'm hoping happens is that the economy crashes/gets severely displaced....all the other candidates are really weak on the economy, but Ron Paul is VERY strong on this issue (even Ron's opponents don't challenge him on this). If it were to happen, Ron would be the only one to explain why....and well, people might put aside their differences on the war (and some other issues) in favor of Ron's economic issues.
It could make Ron Paul look like the biggest saint, because he's been preaching the same message all along....the others will have to change their tune for a "recovery", which might nto work out too well.
interestingly enough, there was an economist that said there's a 25% chance the economy could crash in the next 1-3 days. I doubt it'll happen, but, in some ways, I hope it does...as it'll point STRAIGHT to Ron Paul.
