It's remarkable has his campaign managed to bring itself back from near flat lining over the summer, I'll give you that.
However, the South Carolina victory really isn't that amazing. He received 90,000 fewer votes than he did in 2000, and quite frankly had either Thompson or Romney not been in the race, Huckabee probably would've won. The only reason he won this time is that unlike in 2000 the conservative vote was split up enough to allow him to squeeze a victory in.
Keep in mind, 67% of South Carolina Republicans did not want John McCain to be the Republican nominee. Not exactly a stunning endorsement from the state.
