It IS true that most of the Christian Coalition went largely to Huckabee in Iowa. But, some voted for big Fred. This thread is about Fred's chances to take the nomination. I think his appeal in NH is marginal. His appeal in SC is good with the CCs. Remember, in Iowa, big Fred was a visiter. In SC, Fred is a cousin. He is very well liked in his home state of Tennessee. And that goodwill aids him in SC.
And for trivia, why did Al Gore loose the presidential election? Because he failed to win his home state and those electorial votes went to George Bush. So the moral of this story is, Tennessee is a major player in the election, because it is the state next door, to 8 other states. That does make big Fred almost the guy next door.
