There Is No Republican Front-Runner

If John McCain gets the most votes in a six man contest tomorrow in South Carolina, the Mainstream Media is prepared to anoint him the "Front-Runner."

Yet, if McCain wins--and most polls give him a small lead--it is likely to be with something between 30-35% of the vote. That, my friends, is LESS than the 42% McCain got in 2000 when he was "trounced" by George W. Bush in the state.

It's hard to see how someone can be called a "front-runner" when he does worse the second time than he did the first time.
