Foxnews just reported that in only nine out of 22 states tonite reporting results that its winner take all. Seems to me that what happened in WV is the norm in how states decide to award their delegates. If Romney loses in GA and some of those other southern states tonite is going to complain about Huckabee winning in them as well just cuz Romney doesn’t think Huckabee should be running for the Office of the Presidency. And what about Ron Paul? Paul’s been getting around five percent in nearly every state as I can tell.
Should Romney tell both Ron Paul and Huckabee to get out because neither of them are viable?
When and if Romney and his supporters do that is democracy at work?
I don’t believe that the claim is that Huckabee “is not viable”....rather, the claim is that neither Huck nor Mitt is viable if both stay in....thus, the argument goes, Huck (if he were truly conservative) would get out so conservatives could consolidate and stop McCain.
If Huck was really trying to win (he’s not) he would be saying the same in reverse.
