Just a wild thought:
If all of the voters going for Romney in SC switched their vote to Fred it seems highly likely that Fred could win SC. This has obvious advantages to those who dread the thought of McCain or Huckabee as the nominee.
Now how could that be done? Romney or Demint or someone from Romney's camp says: "We like Fred a lot. He is a genuine conservative and would not do damage to our core conservative principles the way that other candidates would. There will be a time to have a battle of positions straight up with Senator Thompson but right now conservative values should triumph."
It would give Romney some improved good will among conservatives and it would cover what could be a embarrassing 3rd or 4th place finish while not really hurting him in the delegate hunt. It seems that stopping McCain and Huckabee now and rallying conservatives to the two best choices is the better strategy.
Alternatively, the idea could be pushed by pundits/bloggers/influential others online. Hugh Hewitt could push it, or even Rush. I believe the idea would appeal to a great number of conservatives in South Carolina who find both Mitt and Fred preferable to Mc/Huck.
Just a wild thought in a wild primary season.

What will he be after the primary?
And would he be another George Bush if he gets elected?
