Dr. Charles W. Dunn, an author and political scientist, believes that Mike Huckabee has the momentum to take South Carolina's Republican primary.
Dunn currently serves as dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University, and says even though Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) won the New Hampshire GOP primary, he thinks the senator has too much baggage to win in South Carolina -- the gateway to the south.
"Remember what happened in 2000. He won big in New Hampshire and lost big in South Carolina and he also made a lot of enemies in South Carolina," says Dunn. That is why he is predicting a win for Huckabee, despite a poor showing in New Hampshire.
"Huckabee won while losing, so he goes forward with a head of steam into South Carolina and possibly into Michigan," notes Dunn. "He should win South Carolina, and that's the gateway to the south. The south has the largest number of electoral votes in the electoral college.
Dunn does not think that Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, or Rudy Giuliani will be factors in the Palmetto State's GOP primary later this week.

Sorry to say, McCain makes enemies frequently. It's part of the game, sure, but his quick temper is widely known. I've noticed this time around that he smiles more and seems "happier" with life, but that quick temper is seen frequently. McCain lost MI because of McCain, not because Romney was better or the dems voted for him. And he won't win SC. He's a great American, a great hero. But Huckabee is the best candidate in this race.
