In a statement Thursday, South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Chad Connelly says "Anybody can win" in South Carolina.
"Anybody can win this in the next 16 days," South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Chad Connelly said Wednesday. "I've seen this my entire political career in South Carolina."
At this time in 2008, Sen. John McCain stood fourth in South Carolina polls behind Romney, Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson. By primary day on Jan. 19, McCain surged to the top to win the Palmetto State and ultimately the Republican nomination.
"The old saying is '24 hours. In politics, that's a lifetime,'" Connelly said. "When you look at the polls in the month leading up to our primary, it was fluid and dynamic. It changed a lot and I don't think it's anything different this year."
