official Super Tuesday commentary thread (Republican)

[bullmoose88]

I just can't believe McCain is in 3rd in Minnesota.  It's another bronze from MN for McCain, I guess.

McCain doesn't fare well in caucuses, it is one right?...i suspect this time his supporters may be tactically supporting Huck

[YRABNNRM]

That should put the nail in the Pawlenty for McCain VP coffin.

[Ebowed]

Huckleberry has a deal with Mac... it's all strategic, trying to bump the Mittster out for good...

Bank on Huck being the VP.

Bank on Huck being the VP.

Or very very important cabinet secretary...

Much more likely.

I would be happy with Huckabee in charge of the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, assuming McCain decides to keep it, should he win the presidency.

Actually, what the... is happening in Mass.?

[J. J.]

MO Huck +2 at 45%

MT Rom +2 at 41%

MN Rom +4 at 11%

TN Huck at +1 at 45%

GA Huck +2 at 72%

closer than expected at 10% but not warranting a wtf.

McCain up by 3 at 58%??

[Meeker]

I wish Romney would drop out

CNN says Romney +10% at 63% in.

If Huckabee means what he says, he'd give those grants to evolutionary researchers, while his church gets the science funding.

It's not 10%. We are in the Republican thread here. And look at the map, what's left to report (at least, countywise).

Edit: w/ just 1% reporting extra it did, in fact, become 1%. Smthg is strange.

Edit 2: seems like a huge chunk of Boston vote came for Romney??

[Frodo]

If Romney fails to win California, then by all means he will.  I can't see him surviving to fight another week.

CNN says Romney 51%, McCain 41%.  where are you getting your numbers from?

CNN, but it must have been a glitch.

A moment ago it was the other way around. Suddenly, a lot of Romney vote came from Boston, of all places - McCain had been leading there.

[M]

About 15 mins ago, CNN did have McCain up by 3. Very briefly.

[Meeker]

Romney @ 82% in Utah

If it was a glitch, it was in Mass, not with CNN. I'd been staring at it for 15 minutes before posting (thinking it was the glitch) - but then it showed up on NYT as well.

[Meeker]

Is it possible that we could see this switch to a McCain vs. Huckabee contest after tonight?

[Frodo]

Huckabee leading by two points in Tennessee as well -I thought that state had been called for McCain. 

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Is it possible that we could see this switch to a McCain vs. Huckabee contest after tonight?

I would hope so. Romney needs to give it up. He can't win any state that isn't his home state or has a lot of Mormons.

Yes.
