John McCain has won the South Carolina GOP primary. This is bad news for Democrats since he is the best hope for the GOP, though it’s still very early. Romney is still in this race, so it’s too early to annoint McCain as the nominee.
The big loser is Giuliani. He needed Huckabee to win South Carolina for maximum chaos. Now with McCain in good shape, Giuliani doesn’t have as strong a claim on the war on terror/scare the crap out of everyone crowd.
The GOP race is still a muddled mess, but I suspect it will come down to a race between Romney and McCain.
