Today We Watch the Polls and Pray that South Carolinians Aren’t Freaking Idiots

Fred Thompson needs to do well tonight in South Carolina. At least one poll shows evidence of a big surge for him. His campaign has a new goal of $1.5 million in donations by midnight tomorrow in prep for Super Tuesday. No one is going to be able to advertise in all of those markets (and the citizens can’t be a bunch of douches who will only vote for someone who visited them personally), so hopefully a few Republicans will be able to look up the candidates themselves like we all do (and if you’re local, you can help). It’s a novel concept, but it just might work.
