>>”I caught that as well. I had checked earlier today and knew that prior to FL, Romney was leading and McCain was second.”<<
I believe you’ll find that prior to today, Romney had 59, Huckabee 40 and McCain 36. I didn’t hear Huckabee’s statement, but if it was about his position going into Florida, he wasn’t lying. You guys have got to get over Thompson’s defeat and start to evaluate Huckabee honestly.
Super Tuesday is going to surprise a few people, I think.
Real Clear Politics has the counts that you mention:
McCain | Romney | Huckabee |
93 (less 57 from FL = 36 as of day before yesterday) | 67 | 40 |
But CNN has the following:
McCain | Romney | Huckabee |
95 (less 57 from FL = 38 as of day before yesterday) | 67 | 26 |
Not sure why there would be a difference.
My feelings about Huckabee don't have anything to do with Thompson. I just seems like Huckabee is two-faced to me. He lost me when he claimed that he didn't want to do any negative campaigning, but pulled the "let me show the press the ad I'm too noble to run" against Romney.
