16. Cain-Colbert would be my choice

If Cain-Colbert receive a significant percent of the votes in SC it would send a message to the big donors and the leaders of all parties that the rules are changing.

The ads and interviews are getting lots of play, no idea if people will take the step and actually vote. If I were in SC, I would for the first time vote for a Republican.

If I remember, about 6,000 voters would for each 1% in the results. The rally Friday at CofC should get some media coverage. Online seems primed. Will buzz be strong enough for people to take action? Maybe, based on the crowd on The Mall in DC.

Felt strange with the SC images while Stephen and James Taylor sang "going to Carolina in my mind." JT grew up here in Chapel Hill and usually it would be NC, but effective this time as SC. Last heard JT sing this in person at an Obama rally here in CH.
