Woohoo!  I hate Huckabee, but at least it keeps the race in play.  No coronation of McCain yet.

This was a McCain victory because it was his supporters who gravitated over to Huckabee to prevent a Romney win.

Right.

Absolutely, and coming out on the morning of the CA primary may push undecided conservative away from Romney.  This is not going to be a good Romney day.

Romney is now complaining about losing WV.  He couldn't just lose gracefully.

Id be kinda pissed too if someone were to do that to me what McCain did to him. Though it doesnt matter anyways, thats politics for ya.

What, let his voters vote for their second choice.

Some of those numbers look way off.  Romney was running third in MO and I don't believe McCain in only up be five in AZ.

"Unfortunately, this is what Senator McCain's inside Washington ways look like: he cut a backroom deal with the tax-and-spend candidate he thought could best stop Governor Romney's campaign of conservative change."

Yeah, and Microsoft Works...


(from Mitt Romney's website)

I just read a report that Huckabee had a robocall go out to Georgia (and maybe other non-Arkansas  Southern states voting today) using his WV victory to get support in these other states.  That was quick!

Damned effective!

The Georgia exit poll is so close, either 3 could win frankly.

Bingo!  Romney needed a big win.

Probably all good enough.  Romney took MA, where McCain has been trying.

Not a good night so far for Romney.

It looks like McCain's night.  It's contests between Huck and Mac.  Huckabee takes AL.

Romney now has only one chance, California.  I'll bet tonight, it goes to McCain.

Romney is dead in the water, and on fire.  He could slip under the surface tonight.

McCain leads by 2% in Montana with 13% of the vote in.


It will be interesting to see how Yellowstone County (Billings) divides.  That's a solid conservative Republican area. 

Romney?

In theory.

MSNBC:  Romney camp - "McCain is underperforming tonight."

As opposed to who, God?
