Rain, sleet, and snow in South Carolina have the media puzzled. They keep mentioning the extreme weather, but never which candidate it might benefit. This is an interesting quote from Huckabee:
We have to take the weather for what it is. We don’t get to choose it. I just hope that our voters are so committed that it doesn’t affect the fact that they are going to vote, because … it’s a mission that they have to deal with today.
“[M]ission” is a telling turn of phrase.
The question is: Who’s more likely to brave the elements to vote for their man: Evangelicals, driven by religious devotion, or hardened veterans who’ve endured a lot worse?
