Election 2008: South Carolina Republican Primary
Snow in South Carolina May Impact Turnout in Tight GOP Race
One of the surprises in New Hampshire’s Presidential Primary a few weeks ago was the pleasant weather. Who would have expected 60 degree temperatures in New England on January 8? Today’s weather in South Carolina may be equally surprising—up to 3 inches of snow is forecast in the portions of the state for the first in the South Primary. Heavy rain is expected throughout the rest of the state. The weather may be significant as John McCain and Mike Huckabee each try to score their second victory of the season.
