No one “loses” if you come in 2nd in a race of five candidates, where each one is winning a different state. If one guy is second in all the states, he’d easily win the majority of the delegates (which, BTW, Romney now has). We’ll see if he comes in second tonight and if he does, that’s a serious blow to Huck. But it won’t be spun that way.
I notice that most of the liberal pundits, those supporting Hillary or the pundits who support McCain are saying that Romney should drop out now. I think they are trying to convince Mitt, because they know he is a threat to their favorites. I strongly suspect that Mitt understands this too, and he will never drop until he is so far behind in the delegate count that it will be futile.
