South Carolina Republican Primary Betting Odds The South Carolina Republican Primary will take place on Saturday January 19. BetUS.com had Mike Huckabee as a pretty heavy early favorite to win here. His betting odds were set at 1/4. John McCain followed with 5/2 odds. Mitt Romney came in with 5/1 odds. Rudy Giuliani was listed with 14/1 odds while Fred Thompson and Ron Paul both were listed with 25/1 odds of winning the South Carolina Republican Primary. Polls showed that McCain was leading in South Carolina with 25%, Huckabee with 18%, Romney with 17%, Fred Thompson with 9%, Giuliani with 5% and Ron Paul with 5%. By press time January 10, Huckabee was still a favorite but at reduced odds: -200 or 1/2 compared to 1/4 earlier. McCain was now at almost even odds +150. Romney, Thompson and Giuliani were all at +2000 while Ron Paul was at +2500. Both Romney and Giuliani were impacted negatively from the betting influx against them. Here you will find all the latest South Carolina Republican primary betting odds news and updates.
With a new reinvigorated, battle ready and obviously...well rehearsed....Ron Paul emerging out of the latest Fox News Republican debate, his supporters are left wondering "What needs to be done now to keep up the momentum?" Simple answer: Focus on the poker communities in both Michigan and South Carolina. And they won't be hard to find.
While the media and Fox News "focus group" didn't think too highly of Republican US Presidential candidate Ron Paul, the response by the audience during Fox's South Carolina debate suggested otherwise. He received more applause than any other candidate bar none....not to mention zero boos. And give Fox News some credit. The network asked its audience to text in who they felt won the debate and they honestly reported Ron Paul's huge lead in the voting. We're sure if they really wanted to, they could have made Fred Thompson the winner. And even the focus group was asked if Paul should have been allowed to attend. Overwhelmingly, the group who said he was the worst said he belonged there. Go figure! Fox News received quite a bit of flack for excluding Paul in their last Republican debate despite winning 10% in Iowa and performing better than Rudy Giuliani in that state.
